My Camera

Well I thought I would spend a few hours this afternoon trying to draw using Xara. This is my first attempt at 'computer' drawing. I think I learnt more from these last couple of hours than weeks of struggling through tutorials.

I do not know how to make the engraved text look as if it is cut into the metal (round the lens) if someone can help would be grateful.

I haven't finished it yet, but unfortunately I have to earn a living!

Pretty nice rendition riftvalley...

I think there is a enough info in the photo caption and photo watermark movies to answer your question...

Martin,

there are any number of ways to 'incise' text, but the simplest would work here,

when you BEVEL the text, simply drag the LIGHT angle opposite to the light direction on the surface. See Below.

nice work... REALLY nice work for a guy that just picked up the app.
