"Something is askew"

**Pipe Guy** · 30 September 2006, 06:44 PM

Hey experts,
I am running into a problem suddenly. I have been using XAra 3d6 for about 2 weeks. At first everything worked perfectly, but now after I import the .wmf then apply the text face something is out of alignment.
No matter how I change the skew of the text, the size of the text face...everything that I can think of (considering i'm a nOOb), but nothing works.

Help please

Here is the x3d file.
Maybe its something I changed in my settings?

I had to rename your file to open it for a start. I had a bit of trouble trying to fit the texture to the outline as my extrusion option is not working as it should but its the best I can do. I removed the shadow you also have a wee dot lower down the picture but it doesn't affect the presentation .

Nicely done para, I changed it a we bit for it looks nice.
Nothing much just a different animation

Here's an animated gif of batman, imported into Xtreme where the stray spots were covered up. [I can't figure out how to just attach the larger gif file without it displaying here, so shrunk it down. It can be resized in Xtreme.]

Thanks for editing it for me guys

But what changes did you make? (sorry about the stray pixel dot)

Pipe Guy,

Welcome. By "Text Face" do you mean texture?

So is there a way I could have just attached the animated gif instead of having it play?

Sorry...your right. The text face texture. I have all the files that were generated in the steps used to get to the end results.

I use Photoshop for editing/xtracting the pics to PNG files.
Then Illustrator to create the WMF file.
Then Xara 3d6

Is there better software options that I can use? I think it is a setting in Illustrator that skews the PNG file when I convert it to WMF.
