Hi All!
Here is my illustration I've made for RISA Musical Instruments (The producer of top-quality ukuleles). I used 3-step technique:
1. 2D image in XaraX
2. 3D rendering using Xara 3D
3. Back to XaraX to add some small details
(strings, tuners etc.)
My suggestion to Xara Ltd. - is it possible to combine both applications in one powerful designer's tool in future? http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
Sometimes I need to draw something simple directly in Xara3D and sometimes I want to emboss any shapes in XaraX, but now we have two incredible cool products separately and too many manipulations. It's good to render something simple like this electric uke, but if I gonna draw the rocket engine - I must use Rhino or 3ds-max (Oh, HORROR...) http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
