I've got a bitmap that I want to pull into 3D Studio. What I've tried to do is get the outline of the bitmap using Corel's outline tracer. When I bring it into 3D Studio it's got more vertices than it needs – the vectors were created too short, so there's too many of them. Question: What's the best way to get the least number of vertices? Is there a way to do this in AutoCAD or 3D Studio? Or can you suggest parameters to tweak in Corel Trace? Or is there some better way of getting a bitmapped logo into 3D Studio? Thanks, Bill
