Losing SVG quality

mixtrik · Post by **mixtrik** » Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:49 pm

When importing svg, the quality severely decreases. Is this normal for AS or am i missing something. For example, http://www.sweethome3d.com/models/contr ... anPalm.zip looks nice and pretty on the website, but lacks quality once uploaded. Any ideas??

This file is a 3D object, not a SVG file!

yes, you are correct. it is a 3d model but rendered as a SVG. If you go to the website, it states theses 3d models can be downloaded as .SVG extension (which AS pro 8.1 can import). I am just wondering why my imports are not nearly as detailed as the ones from the website.

I am a bit confused here as this is clearly a .obj, not rendered as SVG.

Could You give a link to the SVG file?

Oh man. I must apologize....It IS a OBJ....but can you tell me why when i import it, it loses quality.. the obj is in this zip: http://www.sweethome3d.com/models/contr ... anPalm.zip

I take it that You are asking why it looks so dark?

The reason is that the 3D object is composed of way too many parts, and since AS draws an outline on each of those parts it gets really dark.

Not all 3D objects will look good in AS, simpler ones will do the best job!

GCharb. Can't thank you enough. Thanks for keeping up with my post and now I fully understand why my OBJ imports are losing detail. Thanks again.
