Xara 3D....

[Gordon Gekko]

Can Xara 3D be used in photoshop as a plug-in? Im trying to get 3D text and I dont be feeling like cuttin the shyt out and all that. So is it possible to use Xara 3D as a photoshop plug-in?

NOPE. STANDALONE PROGRAM ONLY

^^^^CAN'T U IMPORT IT FROM XARA 3D TO PS ?

 

[Pyrotechnicz]

YES YOU CAN BUT NO PLUGIN.

FIRST WHEN YOU CREATE THE TEXT MAKE SURE THERE IS NO SHADOW & THE BACKGROUND IS A COMPLETEY DIFFERENT COLOR,
EXPORT IT,
OPEN IT UP IN PHOTOSHOP,
USE THE MAGIC WAND TO SELECT AREA AROUND 3D TEXT,
GO TO SELECT | INVERSE THEN CUT,
PASTE IT TO WHEREVER YA GOTTA PUT IT!

tight....i been tryin ta figure that one out

just export as a transparent png and copy/paste onto a new layer.. hella easy.

 

[Swishersplitter]

that's some sound advice,

 

[Gordon Gekko]

Good lookin out on the advice...
@Zig..even when you transport it that way...you'd still have to cut it out right?

hopefully in the newer version of Xara, they will let u save in Tiff or Psd format..............that would make it easier

 

[Dat Boy Zig]

naw u dont gotta cut shit out if u do it right, make sure u choose 24-bit color and transparent only... it should looks like this when u open it.....
