Hello … I got a logo made in PS with pen tool as a vector shape … and now I want to get it to swift 3D …
I have tried the trace bitmap thang in flash … it worked but with horible results …
Anyways … someone said to trace the image in illustrator … I didnt get to trace the image itself becuase ... I just experimented and drew irregular shape and tried to export it to swift 3d as eps ... and got the same error all the time like it doesnt contain filled items or something … i tried exporting it with stroke only …with fill only and so on … still didnt work ... So i suppose Im doing something wrong in illustrator …
As my shape is made with pen tool is it possible to export the paths automatically from PS CS to swift? There is an option to export paths to illustrator but when I open the file in illustrator its empty or something …
Ok thank you guys … it would be cool if someone wrote a tutorial on this topic … I think there are many noobs like me who don`t understand how to do it …
If you’re going to be using a pen tool… Photoshop is not exactly the app to use. Illustrator would have been preferable to start, and even Flash makes it easy to import shapes into swift3D.
When you export your paths to illustrator from PS, your paths may not have any strokes or fills applied. So in opening a document exported from PS in illustrator, use CTRL+A to select all to see if you cant then see your paths.
If that still doesnt work, try saving as PDF and open it in illus. that way.
using ps will create some issues, at least in my experience. You will end up with little anomelies and jaggies where you dont want them. Best to use a vector app and export as .ai (8) or eps. And try to merge your objects. with no strokes.
Okey … but lets foget I made it with Illustrator ... I can redraw it in Illustrator again .. no problem ... The thing is that I cannot get any type of drawing from illustrator to swift ... If i take the simpliest rectangle tool and draw the shape and try to import it to swift as ai or or eps ... it wont work saying I don`t have shapes n stuff. In fact if i try to open ai file in swift the program closes :s
Crazy things … I got the eps file to work through flash … but not through Illustrator … Maybe I have export settings wrong or something?
