Hi. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to extrude a 2D image, such as clipart, into a 3D image, using Carrara. Right now I'm also having difficulty importing Illustrator files as spline objects into Carrara. In the tutorial manual it says that these files can be used as "silhouettes". When I import the Illustrator file into Carrara nothing appears to come up on the grid. Anyway I'm kind of new at this and would appreciate any sort of help or info. Thanks.

Are you trying to import a Illustrator vers. 9 file. I've heard that Carrara won't import that version. I haven't had any problem importing an earlier version that I export from Hijaak Draw.

Hi there. Thanks for the info. My problem turned out to be importing Illustrator 9 files into Carrara as you had mentioned. As soon as I saved the file in an Illustrator 8 format, it loaded right into Carrara as a spline object. It was great. Anyway thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.
