Using curves to create 3D

Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold

This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

Hi,

I am trying to make a logo 3D.
I have put an image of it on the image plane and traced the edges with the EP curve tool.

How do I now make it 3D??
i.e. Add surfaces to it?

Thanks,

Very Stuck!

lots of options
1) duplicate and move up to desired height and loft between each set of 2 cures

2)use bevel plus tool and tweak with the settings

ERMM CANT REMEM OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD

select the outside curve then all the urves inside - the do a planar operation (surfaces -> planar)
then do same for the bottom now u should have a top and ottom in 2 operations good luck
