WORLD MAP Answer [Re: Need to Find a Tutorial on Creating a Soccer 2004-02-15 - By ccoles_avengers

Hi Steve,
I know that there are great tutorials and books that can help you
learn Carrara (I am planning to pick up my Carrara Studio 3 Handbook
this Monday). If you need any info on these, just let me know.
Also, there are other products out there which can actually convert
raster images (BMP, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) to vector images (AI and EPS).
One is called Vector Eye which I have used successfully but have
allowed the trial version to run out. It used to cost about $30, but
now it costs about $51 for the Classic version and $64 for the Pro.
Here is the link: http://www.siame.com/buy.html
With the increase in price, I am now trying to consider purchasing
some other software that can simply yield true EPS formatted file (I
normally use Paint Shop Pro 7 but the EPS files it produces are
unfortunately not recognized by Carrara Studio 3's Spline Editor).
Well, wish you the best on your journey through CS3.
Cheers,
Claudia

I am simply trying to learn different ways to use Carrara and am
learning lofting and such. I want to convert simple 2d images, 2d
logos etc... to 3d. I read every post in this forum and while I don't
understand half of what you guys are talking about yet,... One by one
the lights are slowly coming on. :)
