I have an odd logo I'd like to import into Moray (preferably) or POVRay
at least.  It's a triangle with what looks like a curvy road going down
the middle.
You can see it by going to www.agrisolutions.com
I'm trying to find an easy way to make it a 3D object so I can make a
nice animation, but I'm not sure how to go about it.  Any help is
appreciated:)

I don't know if this can be done in Moray but it would be fairly easy to
make this as a Height Field object in Pov.

This is true. If you have a two color image only, you will see the single
pixels very clearly. The only way to avoid this is using a very high
resolution scan of the logo. But even then you might see some rough edges,
I'm afraid.

I tried the same with a very high resolution render of a text. It still
looked rather "choppy".

I think you'd better re-create the image using a prism in POV-Ray. This
would do the trick. Or use the SpilinEditor
(http://www.flash.it/users/fn027571/spil/index.htm) to make a nice prism.
This editor is really ideal for this purpose, IMHO.

I tried to follow your link below but it said that
http://www.flash.it/users/fn027571/spil/index.htm was not found on the server.
I'd really like to try that editor.....but where's it at?:)
