Import ai-Data from FREEHAND to MAYA
I need really your help!
A friend asked me if I can animate his company Logo. I will try it, because I learn MAYA since one year and this is a really great chance to show me what I can put into practice!
He gave me his Logo wich is composed with FREEHAND. It is a AI-Data. He said there are all informations included wich I need to realize my project (Bezier curves, color Attributes and so on.)
There is a Grid and in it, there is a arrow. The arrow has a color developing from one color to an other. And the Name of the Company! I bevelt them and thats OK.
The problem is that I don´t see anything from the color or from the developing. Where is it hidden?
I only can see the curves, the Grid and the arrow! In devault grey! It should be colored when I press 6, or not?
Are them hidden Attributes?
Please help me in this Topic, because I never Imported data.

Its in color and the arrow has a color developing wich i didn´t made on my Example!
My Problem is that the File wich I got, not includes the color informations or something else!
When I open the ai-file ( Illustrator) I see the curves from the Text and from The arrow and the Grid wich is between the arrow! I heard that The Grid is for the Developing of the color.
My question is: Are the Attributes probably hidden. Or they probably not able to be imported to MAYA?
When I open a ILLUSTRATOR file in MAYA, wich informations be imported?

Pretty sure that its only going to import your curves from ai-data.
Simple enough to recreate the colour again. Just use a ramp shader in your arrow to get the blending colours.
