Is there a converter to get from a .TGA image to a mesh object or at least
a compatible 2-d shaper file. I have a matted image of a dog saved as a
.TGA file that I want to make into a 3-d object. Help is appreciated…

Larry,
You could set up the .tga file as a background in the 3d editor and then go
to the 2d shaper and view the background as a proxy. This should give you
the outline of the dog and allow you to trace it with the create/line or
freehand tools. This only works in release 2 and above.
Also Coreldraw has a utility called coreltrace which will attempt to
automatically trace an image. You can then export this as a .dxf file and
import it into the 2d-shaper. Good luck.
