Hi People,
I couldn't find any reference to determining the vanishing point for a 3D extrusion I'm trying to made using the 3D tool in Xara Designer PRO 6. Is there one? Or do I have to try combining the 3D result with a mold (which I couldn't do either)
HELP! :)
Welcome to TalkGraphics
The Extrusion Tool does not have a vanishing point. Least, not a visible one.
You can determine three angles for the object is about as close as you can come.
And you cannot add an Envelope to an extrusion.
But you can apply a perspective envelope (Mould Tool) to an object, and then apply an Extrusion to the enveloped object.
Thanks for the reply. Pity about that. Isn't this a feature that other people found missing too?Quote:

Pretty cool :) Got a tutorial for that perhaps?Quote:

What a great answer. I would call that clever - not cheating!Quote:

That's true, and not a bad feature. Now all they need is the ability to perhaps use a bunch of guides as basis for the vanishing point, and we're good.Quote:
