text in xsi

[vangivang]

hello latly we changed to xsi... now i have to get the word "CLUB" in xsi... as i understand the primitiv-text does'nt exist anymore in xsi... now how can i model the word... it has to be a futura...if i take the polygon mesh from 3d.9 to xsi it would give me a unpropper "B", if i take the splines from 3d.9 in xsi, then extrude... it will be open in the front and back.
so pllllleeeeeeease help me.

thanks gaby

hey, i always use Patch B-Spline in soft|3d and open in xsi trough import>Si|3d scene, that should work fine

its me again, i did a test, i write the text in illustrator, take it to maya's invigorator, exported in wavefront obj file, i open it in SI|3d retuoched and open it in xsi, always in polygons, and they look fine, try not to use the text tool in softimage, import and eps or an ai file from illustrator.

thank's gonzalo
i will try thatone with the illustrator, alltough i dont have maya's invigorator or wavefront.
do i have to extrude the text in SI/3d and then import to xsi or is there a possebility to extrude it in xsi...
sorry sure sounds funny... i had worked for 4 years on SI/3d...and now on xsi i feel like i have to start all over again.
so i really apreciate your help.
have a nice day gaby

yeah tried all that, but still it gives me lots of subdivisions in the B and it looks really bad. All the others are propper...
what I 'm doing wrong? or is it the xsi? we have the 1.0...
so I can't even delete the vertex or edges by hand, can't I?

try to get the 1.5.1, in 1.0 there are no polygons editing tools i think...btw, is imperative if you do it on xsi? maybe is better to use SI|3d for this project
on xsi try to play with Geometry Aproximation on the objects property to see if the letter get better.
