Unfortunately there is no way. Vue (whatever version) is no modeller. But you have several options to get the logo into Vue, with the help of some other software. #1 You can convert the vector work into a font - there is software that can do that and use this font then with the text editor in Vue. That you can extrude, bevel and then animate/render in Vue. #2 make a bitmap out of the vector file with Photoshop for example. Use that then for a terrain and get the logo through that in 3D. Beveling would be a little difficult, this must be done in Photoshop with gradations of gray beforehand. #3 look for a (free) modeller that can deal with vector files. I don't have the specifications on me but Wings3D or Blender are two examples for such programs. Check it out wether they can deal with eps or ai files. From there you can export the 3D logo in a format that Vue can read (3ds or obj normally). This you then can render in Vue. Hope that helps a little.
