New to all this 3D malarky

Hi all

Can anyone help me? Despite trying numerous programmes, ideas etc I am drawing a blank with getting my logo 3D and to spin. If anyone is experienced in this process i'd be ever so grateful if you could do this for me.

Not even sure how to upload my image on here - being a bit of a duffus!!

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks for your quick response and help.

I'll visit that thread that you mentioned about 'getting started'. Have tried to do an attachement, hope it's worked. Any advice on making this 3D and spin would be really helpful.

Thanks again
Adey

If this is the best image you have, then I'm afraid you aren't going to get very far with Xara 3D. Firstly, you would really have to paste an image from Xara Xtreme into Xara 3D, and the poor quality of what you have cannot produce good results without hand tracing a vector image first in Xara Xtreme. Garbage in, garbage out, as they say. I have had a go at tracing your image, and it's a lot better, but you don't say if you have a program for making vectors. Here's the (non-spinning) result.
Saludos,

Hi Bob

That actually looks really good. I do have better images of this (jpegs) but it was too large to attach to here, so I had to reduce it down and hence lost some of the quality.

Love what you did to it, if that's what you can do to garbage, can't imagine what you can do to better quality.

How would I upload a better quality jpeg for you to look at?
