when you’re importing .ai into C4D you will never get more than outlines. no fills, no strokes, etc…

if you need an illustrator design in C4D, the only way would be exporting the fill of your design as an image, and then use this as texture in C4D. but how good this will work depends a lot on your specific design…

in the viewport you are rendering choose:

Edit/Configure../ under the HUD tab tick “Frame Time” and/or “Frame”

then select “Render HUD” in your render settings

setting the Feather value to 100 can help.
you could also try to create 1px strokes in a precomp at double resolution, and scale it down in your main comp. maybe use subpixel positioning.

as dave said, the steps will not go away, but it might get better than what you have now.

with the new trapcode plugin “Form” you might be able to get results similar to this.

as far as i can tell from the picture in the article, it means to use a thin outline on your text.
you’ll find the settings to stroke your text in the “character”-tab.

here is quick step by step:

– create your path in Illustrator
– drag the Ruler Origin to the center of your paths (doing this makes your spline come in centered in C4D)
– save your file (or a copy) in Illustrator 8 format

– Open or Merge this .ai file in C4D
– if you get multiple splines C4D choose Objects > Connect from the Objects Manager menu. this creates a single new spline
– make this spline a child object to an Extrude Nurbs
– adjust the Z Movement of the Extrude Nurbs

there may be some gotchas, but this is basicly it.

with the “blend” filter you can interpolate between “still” and “animation”.
