Advanced Member Mighty Pea Posted January 16, 2015 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 The '.spline'-format seems to be a human-readable format specific to 3dcoat. As I believe it contains information on its location in 3d space as well this makes sense, but would it be possible to load .svg in addition to the bitmap formats that we can currently load? It's amazing to be able to load from eps/png etc., but as this naturally results in a spline with too many points to edit by hand, so there would be real value in loading a standard, common vector format as well!

Advanced Member Mighty Pea Posted January 16, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Well, EPS isn't perfect. Photoshop loads it as a raster (bitmap) file, so that's not useful, and Inkscape doesn't load eps at all. SVG seems to be a sort of standard as far as vector files go, so that might be a lot nicer. Particularly because not many 3d artists will have Adobe Illustrator, but Inkscape is small, opensource and freely available! For those who are interested: Inkscape *does save to eps, and 3dcoat loads that fine. The problem is that it won't work the other way around.

Carlosan Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Time ago Andrew told about SVG implementation, he said that is not an easy task. version 3.5.13A added this option time ago, but was not implemented http://3dcoat.blogspot.com.ar/2011/02/3d-coat-beta-update-version-3513a.html Changes, written by Andrew Shpagin: SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) import fron "E" panel. It is a bit raw, needs testing - http://bit.ly/dRpeVs, http://bit.ly/e4OUGn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Mighty Pea Posted January 19, 2015 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hmm, that's a shame. I suppose .eps will be fine for now, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
