Anyone know how to use Vector Magic?

[gergyhead]

I've seen posts about VectorMagic, but does anyone have some good detailed instructions on what to do to the final product so that I can make the logo spin. I have both Xara Pro and 3d.

One logo that I made I have in 3 formats. PNG, SVG and EPS. what is the next step? if anyone can help, please.
I want to create my own documentation so that i can repeat this process.

the spinning instructions are the two tutorials at the top of the xara3D forum
[parts 1 and 2]

suggest inkscape to convert svg to pdf that you can then import to xtreme pro.
there are other alternatives - see this thread

Once you've got it into Xtreme just copy and then paste into Xara3D.

If you're still having problems after that, just ask away in the Xara 3D forum.

First you have to get the vector image out of VectorMagic and into Xara 3.2.

Export the image as EPS. Xara cannot import this flavor of EPS so

Visit http://convert.neevia.com/ (a free site that converts EPS to PDF) and convert the EPS to PDF. Then open the PDF in Xtreme Pro 3.2.

I looked at the PS output and renamed the file type to EPS. The file was readable in E3. Not everyone can read it into E3. Xara doesn't like the flavor of the Vector Magic output. You would need to find an alternate application to pass the file.

What is E3? And did you read my suggestion above Rich?

What is E3? ................

Creature House Expression 3**
Still available for free from Microsoft I think.

Now gobbled up and turned into MS Expression Studio

**These free lessons should get you up and running with Expression 3 in no time.
