    Question New to 3d trialing the trial

    Hey everyone

    Graphic and web designers here and looking for a programme where we can design a logo in Photshop, Corel, Png or similar and then give it the 3d animation treatment.

    With the xara 3d trial I find I cannot do that as most of our work is in tiff, jpg, png format. If i use corel to save as WMF file ( we never use WMF ) then I still cannot imprt into xara

    help...... and advice would be wunnerful

    Hi Khepri,

    Welcome to the forum.

    The formats you mention are all bitmapped (also known as raster) images. WMF can contain vector and/or bitmapped images. Xara3D requires WMF, EMF, XAR, or WEB vector graphics for import.

    Using Corel to save a bitmapped image you created in Photoshop does not convert the image into vector format. If you create the logo in CorelDraw as vectors and export as WMF, you can import into Xara3D.

    I am only a newbie , but the easiest way I find is to trace whatever logo in Macromedia Flash MX (at least get the outline of the logo and fill it with any color), delete the first (traced) layer then export to WMF.

    You can then use the logo you have already drawn in Photoshop as a JPEG or GIF whatever for a texture on top of the WMF shape you made in flash, if that makes any sense.
