After hearing about the release of Pixel 3D 2.0, I'm curious about the results
others have gotten with the previous version of Pixel. I bought a copy over
a year ago, and after many, many hours of experimenting, consulting with
tech support, and talking to users, I never was able to achieve what I
consider professional results when attempting to convert a bitmap image to
3D object. It seemed that to really clean up the image enough to make the
resulting 3D object look as sharp and clean as, say, a text object obtained
with the Logotron macro in LW (using the supplied LW fonts) it required a
LOT of meticulous work in DPaint or the like. Even with a very sharp source
image, and after after selectively applying the individual smoothing options
on various parts of the image, the resulting image always had visible
jaggies. Am I expecting too much, or just not doing it right ?
