  Posted by Picxsee on July 21, 2006 at 1:21 am

  Hi… i’m a super newby (first time ive opened it) to cinema 4d and i know there must be a simple answer to this, but… I can’t seem to import an eps with a simple outline in it.

  In the objects pallete i choose file > load object and choose the file and it just doesnt show up in the objects pallete???

  Wots the deal? I can put other stuff like lights etc but the eps… no show.

  Ideas please? ta x

  Thanks again 🙂

  Hi and thanks again Nolan… The illustrator preferences were already set that way, and yes definately not importing eps files, early illustrator versions or freehand. V odd isnt it.
  If you have any other thoughts bout what it could be let me know 🙂

  Cheers x
