Activity Forums Maxon Cinema 4D text?

  • Posted by Eric Gross on February 27, 2007 at 4:07 am

    Okay now I’m just trying to make a 3d logo to put on a wall in my scene, say out of text. Is there an easy way to create 3d text? I tried importing (merge) of an eps. But when there was more than one closed path, the program wouldn’t read it as a bezier path, so I couldn’t use the extrude nurbs function. Any thoughts? Please help…

    Make sure all paths actually belong to a single spline object (use Functions –> Connect) and revise your spline object using C4Ds tools. also make sure it was “clean” in the first place by getting rid of any problems in Illustrator or Freehand. Safe your stuff in an old AI format (AI 8) or as an EPS. Dunno why you are having trouble. Works for me all the time and it’s one of the few things C4D has always done better than most other 3D programs.

    Happy Day. I did a select all on my merged ai and function connect. Extrusion nurbs then worked. Thanks
