I've just received my copy of Simply 3D. After installing it and reviewing the demos I tried to bring our company logo into Simply 3D: 1. I exported it to an Adobe Illustrator 3.0 file with text as curves. 2. I loaded it up in Renderize EZ and said to load it as a 3D object. it loads the file for about 30 seconds and then just exits the program. I called up Kevin at Visual Software, Inc. and he said that it may be something about the shapes that were used to create the logo. The logo is composed of an ellipse with several arcs that create latitude and longitude lines making the ellipse look like a simple globe. Placed on top of the globe (superimposed) are the letters ECRC. I only used gray and black and white in the logo. How can I modify the logo so that I can bring it in for rendering and animation, etc… Scott Farris San Antonio Electronic Commerce Resource Center

Hello Scott: If you can upload the AI or CDR file (pref CDR, I have 5.0) to me, I'd be happy to look at it and get back to you. Upload it directly to my CServe address 74431,3611. If you can get it to me today, I can respond immediately; I'm out of the office for most of the day tomorrow. Nick Josephs Visual Software

Nick, I am having the same problem as above… I'll try to upload the cdr later tonight (probably talk to you next week). Shawn Ashe

I've taken our company logo as a .CDR file and saved it as a 2d AI file as curves (AI Version 1.1). I have tried saving it as a 3D AI file and Simply 3d doesn't like it. Maybe thats the problem?? I suggest doing it in each of the 3 choices of AI files, and always save as a 2d. You extrude it when you load it in Simply 3d. – Just some food for thought. Bob Kolosky Phase3 Software
