1. With the elipse tool make a shape:
2. Add some text over it. I typed "DB":
3. Select the 2 objects and from arrange>combine or pressing ctrl+L combine the two objects. .
4. Now from effects>extrude aply an extrude to the object: --In Extrude camera select the following: -----Small back with a depth of 3: --In Extrude light put the light how you want play with them. -----I have put them like in the picture:
The result of this step-----> .
5. It is time to export this file. Press ctrl+E and export it.
6. Now we have to rotate the object. From Extrude rotation change the values of x,y and z. In this example i changed only the y to make it simple and for everyone to understand. First we need to know that Corel works here with numbers from -100 to 100 and not how we aspected from 0 to 360. If you want to make more complex examples change the other x,z to but then things are more complicated.
Ok in our example we have to change only y. Start adding 10 to this value and you will obtain the following results: Remember to export everytime you make change to the value. So in the end you will have 14 images:
combine the two objects.
