Ive been working in Illustrator and i have designed a logo. I want to take it to cinema 4d. Is ther a way i can do that?

When i take it to cinema i get outlines only, no fill.

How do i go about getting the lines filled?

Thanks =)

Yup first you’ll need to save your AI file as a EPS and then you’ll be able to import it into C4D.

Extrude tool? I think you’re referring to the Extrude NURB. You basically drop the spline that you created into a Extrude NURB and it will extrude it for you.

Try experimenting with other NURBS as well, you’ll see some interesting results.
