Importing logo into c4d
i am having issues importing a logo into c4d. I have Photoshop CS and have tried to save several different formats. When I open in C4d it brings up a new window that asks what do I want to do. I have resaved trying to get it onto my c4d floor to manipulate it. Help.
Thanks

Are you loading it into cinema with the material editor?

to be honest I’m not sure. I have a logo created in Photoshop with no background and ready to go.
I’m just trying too figure how to bring it into C4d.

Well depends what you want…but I would say the most standard way to approach a logo is getting a spline outline and extruding. So you want to get a Vectorizer from Object:Spline Primitives:Vectorizer
Then in the attribute manager (bottom right) With the vectoirzer selected you can select a “texture” in the object tab click on the three … to browse. Then take that and place it in an extrude nurbs.Another option that may get what you are looking for is simply make a texture. Create a new material. Then in color or tab open the drop menu labeled “texture” and choose load image. Do the same in the alpha to loose the back ground.

Depends what you want to do with the logo in Cinema. If you want to place it on an object, like a decal, you’ll want to create a new material in Cinema and open the logo in both the color and alpha channels. Then place the material on your object.
OTOH, if you want to create a 3D object out of the logo you will either have to import splines (can export paths as *.ai files from PS) or else trace the logo with splines in Cinema. Then extrude the splines.

I tried to save in Photoshop an AI? But it makes it a text file and when I try to bring that into C4d it just looks at me like I”m stupid. lol

It won’t work if you try to save the file; you have to use File>Export>Paths to Illustrator.

Awesome Tutorial. Is there a way to make a logo vector in Photoshop? I don’t have Illustrator.

Photoshop saves ‘Paths to Illustrator’ exports in the ascii (text) format not the usual binary you are probably used to. C4D will still open it.
