Thanks, but I don't understand this at all. P.S I'm 14 years old! Could you describe in in a easier way or show me a video tutorial please? jinz
Re: Drifter or anyone else? Help (LOGO)
there isn't an easier way, sorry - I know it looks difficult at first, but once you've got the idea its simple to do.

Re: Drifter or anyone else? Help (LOGO)
How did drifter open that image on xara3d?
Re: Drifter or anyone else? Help (LOGO)
you cannot open the image in xara3D
you need to make a shape
I'll see what I can do to explain it better :)

using a pen tool or tracer you would draw round the image to produce a vector shape like the picture attached - note this is only a screen shot, you cannot use this as it is not a vector.
when you have made this shape in xara xtreme - you can cut and paste this into xara3D
then you import your original image as a texture on the surface of this shape
do you have the programs?
Re: Drifter or anyone else? Help (LOGO)
I have xara extreme pro and xara 3d.6 I also have Adobe Photoshop CS3, I sort of undersand now, but how many layers/"vectors" do I have to make for this shape? Also how can I get the texture to come out exactly right. Also what do you mean by cut and paste? Could you show me some screenshots please? Thanks in advance mate you have benn a real help!:)

Re: Drifter or anyone else? Help (LOGO)
using drifters example - you only need one shape
import your image into xara xtreme and trace round it to get this
the link I gave before here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8XgHkZo1J8
shows the way most people probably do this
there are automatic tracing methods too if the image you are using is very complicated.
once you have traced round the image in xara xtreme so that the outline ends up where it started the line will close into a filled shape - this is what you need.
copy this to the clipboard [control+c] - then open xara3D and paste the shape in [control+v]
if you prefer you can save the image as a .xar file [or a .wmf] which xara 3D can open - if you do this you must only have the shape in the file and not the image that you traced
should end up with something like second screen shot
