Im trying to bring a compound path logo into photoshop from illustrator as a shape layer. The problem i'm having is the logo has multiple compound paths inside the letters and repousse wont detect more then one hole. Is there a way to make it detect multiple holes in the type like an o and an A? Is there something im missing? Or is it just a limitation of the software. I know it reads text compound paths with no problem, so wondering if i have to try to convert the logo to a text file for workaround? Any help is appreciated.

I might not understand exactly what you're trying to do, but would pasting the shape/logo as a Smart Object be a solution?
- I looked up repousse and can confidently say my comment/question was worthless.doublespaced

naw it doesnt appear to work that way. it will be rasterized and have multiple holes in the type that extrude as a solid. and only one hole in the type will knockout when extruded
- Did you fully expand the Pathfinder functions first?doublespaced

Your best bet is to do it in C4D or Blender etc...The 3D in PS is seriously limited and you'll beat your head against the wall trying to figure out a work around.
- yea if i new 3d id sure do it that way. one day ill get there for sure. but right now its repousse and limited illustraor 3d effectdeathboy

Can you extrude it in AI then bring it over to PS and fake it?

Yeeah you need to make sure the vector only has one registered negative element otherwise it will block it out. So select all your negatives + positives then hit combine in photoshop. This should work!
I had the same issue yesterday myself...
- i tried that and i couldnt get a good result. it seemed liek the shape layer just wouldnt work with multiple negatives.deathboy
- i just ended up creating the logo as a font and had no trouble. ill have to play wiht it in the future and figure it out betterdeathboy
- i noticed different results in the way i treated the compound paths in illy, but no good resultsdeathboy
