Neeewbie question *snief*: My bitmap only shows as a rectangle!
Hello guys,
can you pleeease tell me how i get a jpg, bmp, ... from xara xtreme to xara 3d
I really gone through the forum and watched the online tutorials. But I dont get it to insert the file into xara3d.. Arrrg
This was the best post imo http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthread.php?t=22337 You help all the guys with their logos and that is really great. But I want to get it on my own , I just need some hints, pleease.
I managed it to add a shapes to my graphic (Arrange==>Convert to editable shape), and when I make a copy of the shape in xara extreme it even duplicates the whole graphic as a shape in extreme, just as I want..
But when I try to insert it into X3d, it doesnt insert my graphic. I just opens a new square or sth like this....
Could you pleeease give me some hints what I'm obviously doing wrong?

Norman need his beauty slepp, so to expand on that ...
X3D treats your shape as text ... so .. in the colour thingo, select text, then select texture, then import the jpg as a texture.
It should fit on the shape perfectly, if not, it can be adjusted to fit.
And I have a second question:
How can I use in Xara3D several animations? For example, the default template has 2 lines of text. First line has another animation than the second line. I dont find the settings to it.
Xcuse me, maybe a dumb question, i guess it's really to late...
Welcome. I wish I had a pound for every time I've said this. A bitmap cannot be turned into a vector shape. (I lie but for practical purposes it's the truth)
You can't just select a bitmap in Xtreme and Arrange / Convert to editable shapes. If you import a bitmap into Xara3D it just shows a rectangle. To understand the difference between bitmaps & vectors CLICK HERE
So if you want to import a logo or any other shape into Xara3D you first need to draw it by hand in Xtreme (or any lesser vector drawing program) then import it.
I attach a xar file of part of your shape. Open it, select the shape, copy it to the clipboard, open Xara3D and paste.

Hope this get's you on your way.
Hello Egg,
thank you very much for your help. Now even I understand the difference between a bitmap and a vector based graphic
You shout put a thread like this as sticky, I guess the question comes up more often.
Omg, your attachment is really great. But you cannot tell me that you made this draw by hand
Is there a tool in Xtreme to get an exact vector-based copy of the graphic like you have in your attachment?
