3d logo

ok i made a simple logo in photoshop,nothing fancy. now i want a 3d version of it in 3dsmax. i can do the loft thing to achieve the 3d effect, but first i need the basic shape of it, thats where i need help. anyway is there maybe a way to "import" it and use it as a template so i can get the lines around the logo? or any other suggestions? thx

Make a plane thats the exact dimensions of the logo image (check it in photoshop), and then apply a material to the plane with the logo in the diffuse map.

oh i never would have thought of that, thanks a lot ^^

a followup question, i remember before that it would render the bitmap in the perspective viewport but right now its not. checked a lot of option menus but still can't find it

[edit]
never mind, found it under the 'views' menu
