I really want to make this 3D and rotate in all angles so I can send it to the mem card and have a mobile screen saver I really dont have a clue where to start.
Tried xara but honestly I dont have a clue
Thanks

Like this a bit hairy but thats the way it goes .

Hi Richard, can you send us this picture a bit larger? In XaraXtreme you can trace it with the shape editor tool or the pentool. Do you own Xara3D?
I see Parahandy did it already!
Marcia why not enlarge it yourself in Xtreme?
Yes, of course, didn't think :o
More help please, thanks for that transfered onto phone mem card and in viewing rotates fine-however when set as screen saver the animation stops any ideas at all?
Sorry mate I don't have a clue, I never use screen savers now, I don't think they are necessary with modern monitors and anyway if the pc is left on without activity it just goes into blank screen mode.
Norman, ol' chaps, I think he wants it for his mobbley fone ...Quote:

If someone would teach me how to do this, I'd really appreciate it!

In that Xar file you actually have two images.Quote:

Oh--duh--importing them separately makes sense (now that you told me about it, Raymond!)
I thought grouping the elements and saving as a single file would do it, but it didn't work for me.
Thanks

Xara is very logical, simply so, and I think many of us complicate things by looking for complicated answers.
So many tricks are blindingly obvious - in retrospect.
:rolleyes: Just playing around!

It's a system which seem to work quite nicely, don't you think?
I practiced on this logo this evening. I was all fingers and thumbs but I got there in the end.
PS. I believe this is in Sheffield Wednesday FC's colours. Hope so ;)
Richard,
Attached in zip file are my finished screensaver and xara 3d file.
In Windows XP you should copy the swfc.scr file to your c:\windows\system32\ (where you will find all your other screensavers stored).
It will the appear with your other screensavers when you open your display properties.
I included the swfc.x3d in case you want to edit the size etc. for your own screen resolution.
