That would be my error - I thought I'd seen 'Dave' mentioned earlier. Sorry for that
Like i said bit jagged round the edges, i'd like it smaller as well as i want it as an avatar on my forum. not sure how to put it on the forum either
Dave when you choose 'Export Animation', you can choose the .gif file type and then the 'User Defined' dimensions and other settings.

Depending on your forum software, if vBulletin then Avatars are set in the User Control Panel and Edit Avatar settings.
Image dimensions and kilobyte size is set by the forum administrator.
must be doing something wrong, i export it as an animated gif, but when i go to open it it isnt animated
Hi Dave, I had a look at your .X3D file, and just made some adjustments to the lighting by turning on the lightbulb icon and double-clicking on each arrow and making all lights white. I adjusted their positions to reduce the glare effect.
You could remove the jagged edges by using the ellipse tool in Xtreme. If you hold down the Ctrl key when dragging, the tool will draw a perfect circle. Make the circle the same size as the original logo, and align them centrally. With the new circle and the logo selected, go to the Arrange Menu and choose combine shapes/intersect shapes, or press Ctrl + 3 on the keyboard.
Your logo will now be a perfect circle.
Do you have access to a better example of the original graphic? Your result looks pixellated because the image you are using as a texture is of a low resolution. I don't know if you are at a skill level with Xara Xtreme to hand trace your own version of the logo to use as a texture?
It's all coming along nicely so far.
Saludos,
Bob.
still cant manage to put it on the forum as you've just done, when i save it as an animated gif, it changes to just a gif image.
Is it possible you are using the Export... option and not the Export animation... option?
