Hi everyone;

When I export from MOI to adobe illustrator format, I am only getting lines. Is there any way to get the surface with color into illustrator.


Thanks

Hi Sharif, MoI's AI export is only focused on exporting curves to the AI file, not on making a shaded result.

Normally for a shaded result you would want to import your file into a rendering program and set up light sources and produce a rendering, which will then be a bitmap image file that can be read into Illustrator.

If you want to do something quick you can make a screenshot of the MoI screen to save to a bitmap file. It is possible to set up a script on a shortcut key that will generate an image of the current view at a higher resolution than the regular display and put it on to the clipboard so you can paste it into wherever you need, see this post for some details:

Hello,

Do you want a solid color or gradiants for the fill?

solid color

Hi Sharif, if you want to do the screenshot method, this post explains how to set up the lights to make surfaces displayed in a solid color without any shading:
