SVG Extrusion
Hi all,
I have just purchased Cheetah 3D today after trying several 3D apps for the mac. I am trying to create a 3D model of one of my products and this is the first time I have ever done this.
I am trying to deboss a logo into a retangular shape, I have exported a logo file from Illustrator CS3 in SVG format and its imported it into Cheetah 3D sucessfully. From what I can understand in order to do this I need to extrude the SVG logo, position it onto the shape and in effect punch the logo into the shape to create the effect. So here are my questions:
1. Are there any tutorials that explain how to do this?
2. The imported SVG is made up of 32 paths is there any way to merge this into one object then it can be extruded in one go?
Any advice would be gratefully received.
thanks
Jim
