trueSpace only

[Gary David Bouton]

I am sorry. What I did was design the paths in XARA, and THEN run the files through Illustrator first, to "clean up" XARA's writing. Attached is a file with all the paths you need for a soda can. Why not try them? And why not try eps as the file format, or did you do that? It seems to work for me.

Here's a can I just did in trueSpace. There is a LOT more detail in the texture than in the model itself.

Gary,

Interested in why you ran the outlines through Illy? What needed cleaning up? I use Xara for my splines but don't run them through Illy. Should I? Or is this something that TrueSpace needs?

Curious minds want to know!

You .ai file works great. I'll spend hours playing around with it and learning more about using Truespace.

I've tried the three types of .eps format from XaraX and get different errors in Truespace when I try loading them. I'll continue experimenting and find a way to get an outline that will import into Truespace.

I don't know why, but it seems as though version 3 of ts needs Illustrator, genuine Illustrator files, and not generic ones XARA produces, as Soquili, too, is having this problem.

Don't ask me why. "Scrubbing" the file in Illustrator just works.


My Best,
