Hey , ive been asked by a few people on how i created my last avatar, which was a 3d version of my old logo. ![](http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/paulsoultis/logonew.gif) Vote yes or no to a tutorial … which will cover importing illustrator files into maya… using bevel plus to achieve the 3d elements. and maybe some simple texturing and lighting (the tutorial will be too long if i get too much into these ) … so vote yes or no… thanks… …soulty…😏 ---

hey sgroove, its coming 😉 just need to structure it, without running through a video type tutorial it is much harder to go through even something as simple as a 3d logo, there is so much to it. I was reconsidering maybe a cut down version of the tutorial just to show bevel plus tool, instead of running through the entire 3d logo tutorial, give me some time and i will see. cheers .soulty ---

ok, i have come to a cross road… the tutorial is getting huge, and will be pretty hard to explain in a html type tutorial without aiming it to people that already know maya… I got my hands on a evaluation of screenflash 1.45 and it works pretty sweet with my computer. Thought the file size hits about 8-9 meg… (i can save as low quality, havent tried that yet) Is this too big for most people?.. if so i will just try to explain in the html based tutorial as much as i can… without getting into it too far. And ive decided not to use my old avatar logo as the tutorial model, i wasent too sure about giving out my .ai file of my logo, i dont mind giving it to kirupa people but there are alot more people other than kirupa members that go to the tutorial section of the site, so instead i created something similar to it but with a K (kirupa) twist. Its not the same , but follows the same principals. get back to me with your answers… cheers .soulty ---

8-9 megs, yes, I would say thats too big. I think basic screen grabs will suffice. If people _have_ Maya, Im sure they wont be using this tutorial alone to learn it. Expect some level of competency. not using your avatar? Perfectly fine. A K of some sort is a great alternative. ---

ok kool, ill stick with the html, it not too bad, just was fun to use screenflash, and it ran quite good on my computer, at 1024 X 768 @ 75 refresh rate. Its pretty Cool to see how you work, u pick up some intresting faults in your own methods. and from something like 1200+ frames it only ended up being 9 meg. ::oh and the K logo i came up with actually looks pretty cool. simple but decent. ---
