It is like RUSHELP in the middle the two part of the logo spinnig around it..
Does anybody get what I meant?
Could anybody do that, If yes I will be very happy.
Thanks, alot.

Re: can't spin
Burzum the red and blue image is a jpg file. You must create the red and blue shapes as vectors before you can import them into Xara3D and make them spin.
Please use the Search feature of the forum. This question has been asked hundreds of times in the past.
Egg Bramhill has an excellent tutorial about the difference between vector and bitmapped images http://www.xaraxone.com/vector_bitmap.swf

Hello Soquili
Sorry for repeating questions, but when I create a shape in Xtreame, how would I add two types of animation. I mean one is going in one direction or other going in other direction.
Or just make a text in 3D "TalkGraphics" so the Talk is did one anymation and the Graphics the other?

Re: can't spin
Sorry Burzum, I misunderstood your question before.
Hopefully the attached images will explain how to have different animations for two different shapes.

Soquili
Thanks alot for your explanation, and attached image.
One more question,
If I want use your .gif file that you attached how would i add a this image and my imgae that says RUSHELP, so the animation doesn't desepear?
I can't attached your file as a bagkground, because it's not going to fit the text RUSHELP.

Re: can't spin
Burzum,
You will need to create your own shapes and import them into Xara3D. The .gif file cannot be used as a background and show animation.
If you do not have Xara Xtreme or Xtreme Pro (or a previous version of Xara X or X¹) you can use Xara Webster. I believe Webster still comes with Xara3D. You can also use other programs to create .wmf vector shapes that can be imported into Xara3D.

Re: can't spin
Hello, Soquili
I think with your help I'm going in a right way.
so i created a shapes in Xtreame, then I copy both of them and put in 3D. I've tried to copy on each time, but in 3D when I paste another shape, the one which is alreader there dissepeared, but if I do it in the same time in 3D and I try to select one of them it select both of them in same time?
And then, where I want write a text betweet this two shapes, it dosen't let me do that, I think because the shapes are not separate, but I don't know exactly.
Finally I made a shape rotate, but look what happen.

Re: can't spin
Burzum you need to copy one shape then paste into Xara3D then copy the second shape and paste into Xara3D. Don't forget to hit the Enter key between each paste into Xara3D so the shapes are on different lines.
It is all explained in the images I posted previously.

Re: can't spin
Soquili you genius !!!
I think I gaded, here is the example.
With your help I did pretty much everythink except what I want. In second image I tried to rotate to shapes in one type of anymation and the text RUSHELP in other but it dosen't let me do that, everythink is doing one thing rotatin.
I need just so the text is do another rotation, or didn't do it at all.

Re: can't spin
Show the cursor in the Xara3D work window. Use the arrow keys to be move the cursor to the text, hold a shift key then use an arrow key to select the text. In the Animation Options dialog uncheck the Text checkbox that is on the same line that shows the rotation axis.
The text will no longer rotate. If you want the Text to rotate differently, do not uncheck the Text checkbox, select another type of rotation. The new type of rotation will only be applied to the select objects (the text).
