AI Vector to Mesh (Solved)

Post by mc_axe » 25 Apr 2017, 22:16

Hello Iv tryed to import a shape from Illustrator to Soft as a planar mesh

Failed with dxf to fbx (ADSK FBX converter)
Failed with dxf to obj (online converters)

Finally i got the vector file as SVG and converted it to STL through a free online service, and then i used an STL import addon recently introduced in this forum.

However the online service did a rough job on the outline + some details inside the shape are gone. :((
Anyone know a more accurate way to make this conversion?

It has to be older ai or eps. In other words, if you have Adobe Illustrator, just save your shapes as oldest possible ai or eps, and that should work. Don't know is it something else, able to do such conversion.
