Logo extrude and illustrator import weirdness
Hi guys,
Noob – Looking for some help in creating a logo extrude; For one of those FOX sports style chrome team badges.
2 things:
a) If anyone has any tutorials/pointers would be great, obviously some extruding bending gonna be needed – im sure i can figure it out but always easier to stand on the shoulders of others 😉
b) specifically related to import of ai artwork. Ive imported the artwork using the merge command and unchecked the “connect splines” pref etc. All fine, I then set about moving the splines into the appropriate groups and naimg them.
Now thats where the problems come… splines just start dissappearing… then appearing again… or not… or sometimes i make all splines invisible in the object manager but some remain visible :s so i open the artwork in another c4d project then re-copy over the missing splines… etc etc… no particular method, just madness…
Anyone had these experiences? Is it re-draw, bug or my rampant crack habit 😉
Cheers for any advice,
Elin

…hidden splines remain visible :s

…that its best to import those problematic splines separately – using connect splines where necessary…
v much like the little ive seen from c4d – but this seems to be one thing that could be improved 🙁

Hi all,
so ive finally managed to extrude my illustrator splines and create a simple extruded logo with some materials, now i need help sprucing it up a bit as its rather “flat”; just a simple extrude with caps to soften the edges…
I would really like to put some more detail onto the whole object, how to i create much softer, rounded surfaces rather than flat extruded caps? of course i can push/pull points but im sure there must be an easier way?
Ive messed about with bulge, bend etc but no real joy 🙁

its really hard to make a suggestion not knowing what the object looks like.
