Hi all,

I want to make 3d text from illustrator curves. I managed to make the non fill letters but the problem is letters that have a fill inside them like AOPRD etc, how to make the insides of letters rounded too like the edges on the outside. I suppose i have to boole them, but boole does not work, gives me some error.
heres what i have so far:

Yeah like he said above, select both curves and apply the bevelplus, Make sure to try different inner bevel styles so the inside of the "O" bevels correctly. And just forget about booleans in Maya with anything other than native primatives, just doesn't work.

hi guys, thanks for reply-s, i got it working now with bevel plus. I had tried selecting both the outer and inner curve both and make a bevel plus, but the trick was to select the outer curve first and then the inner curve.

thanks again.
