If there is any way to convert a 2 Color (b&W) bitmap scanned image in the 3d Lofter or any other utility to a 3D object and export it to a DXF please let me know, I have been using a conversion utility called Pixelpro for the Amiga when using Lightwave, but I can't seem to find a way to do scanned Logos in 3D Studio. Can you help?

I can't add anything beyond what the other folks here on the forum have suggested to you.

>> If there is any way to convert a 2 Color (b&W) bitmap scanned image << obviously you'll need to convert the image into something 3ds will support. Typical standards are .tga, .gif, .bmp, .tif etc. There's loads of dos utilities that will convert from one format to another. My favourite is image alchemy which you can find on CI$.

GIF to DXF? I have never used it but get it a whirl. I think it was around here somewhere.
