  • bounding box issue…

    Posted by Betty Boop2 on July 26, 2006 at 5:30 pm

    The file referenced below, when selected in Illustrator shows 4 bounding boxes. 2 of the bounding boxes are larger than the shapes they are bounding. What I’d like to know is how to reduce the bounding boxes on those two so that they just go the edge of the shape they are bounding.

    I need to do this so that I can import into 3D program to use as a texture map.

    Help anyone?

    Thought for sure one of you leaders would attempt to answer my question. I guess I’m just spolied by the reaction of the After Effects forum.

    3. I am not an AI expert… just PS
    4. I woudl guess you want to choose Flatten Transparency
    5. Bounding boxes go to the edge of whatever is selected in a square

    I’d take a look at it, but I get an FTP Error: user anonymous cannot log in.
