Title: Extruding Logo
Post by: RodEH on January 15, 2009, 05:24:32 pm

Good day everyone.

I have a Logo in Corel Draw and I want to import it to Anim8or so I can Extrude it and make a 3D rotation animation (Like the one in the cover of this site).

So far, in the manual I haven´t found anything.

The Logo includes only letters but with some Style (I don´t know the font)
Using Paths would take some time, that is why I am looking for more options.

Thanks.

Try to find out which font you used and use the text tool in anim8or to recreate the logo. Typ the letters go build>extrude and you will have 3d text. After that you can tweak it a bit till you like it.

Neirao´s solution is good but I still have some problems.  :-\

When I export my model in Corel Draw to Wings 3D It loses quality (Like if it only exported the points but not the "curve vectors"). I´ll try playing with the parameters in the Trace Bitmap but I would like to know if there is another thing I should do.

Thank you for all your help.


EDIT:
I finally made it. I just used 0 in Smoothing to add more points. The model looks very good in Anim8or.
Thank you.


My problem is solved so we can close this topic.
