Very helpful since clients try to keep up with the clients & want 3D logos as well. I didn't know we could import .ai in 3DSMax as well. I would have imported a .jpeg & modeled from the blueprint. This helps me save a lot of time. Thank you. Thanks for this tutorial! Very helpful since clients try to keep up with the clients & want 3D logos as well.

Try to close the vector path by joining the points together then export it as a legacy ai file and import it in Max.

Also i would like to see your logo, can you give me a link to follow?

Tell me if the problem has been solved or not.
