You can import curves saved as EPS (encapsulated PostScript) and AI (Adobe Illustrator) files from a drawing program. Once in Softimage, you can convert them to polygon meshes as described in Converting Curves to Polygon Meshes [Modeling] to create planar or extruded logos.
There are some restrictions on the files you can import. Follow these guidelines:
Imported curve objects typically contain multiple subcurves. Because of this, there are certain limitations.
In particular, some of the Create commands on the Modeling toolbar do not work with such curve objects as inputs. For example if you extrude such a curve along an axis, only the first subcurve is extruded.
