Re: Making two seperate parts move
Hi Ellie,
Think of it as a word processor (such as MS Word) the letter 'i' is made up of 2 shapes (a dot above a vertical line). You can not change the dot to red and leave the line black. If you type in a word such as 'bin' you can change each letter to a different colour but the letter 'i' is one character made up of 2 objects. You have to enter/type each of the 3 letters separately ie. one at a time so then you can colour or enlarge them uniquely etc. Xara 3D is the same, you have to enter each character/ shape separately to treat them differently.

Re: Making two seperate parts move
Hi Ellie,
Are you trying to use a bitmap image in Xara3D to animate the text shown within it? That cannot be done because Xara3D requires vector objects and or text from a font (fonts are a type of vector).
I ask because you mentioned a scan which creates a bitmap image.
Re: Making two seperate parts move
thanks for all your help, i am slowly getting somewhere, will post results in a day or so. At the moment i'm just wrestling with the program.
Re: Making two seperate parts move
i am still lost as to how you get different parts spinning.... any tutorials about??
have got the logo spinning and it look crystal clear, i wanted to put some text over the top, but everytime i try it changes the bevel or look of the image, any thoughts?
Re: Making two seperate parts move
okay folks after a lot of searching around, am i right in thinking if i select different parts of the image in extreme and cut and select these and then export the file to xara 3d it will then move for me??
thanks for any help

Re: Making two seperate parts move
Ellie please post an example of the image you are working with.
Are you trying to cut parts of a bitmapped (rastor) image? A gif, jpg, png, tiff, etc are all bitmapped images.
If you are working with a bitmapped image you must recreate the portions you want as vectors shaped as the portions you want to use. Cutting a bitmapped image will only get you rectangles when you bring them into Xara3D.
