Re: advanced perfume bottles & technique
Xara is proving to be so good at making complex 3D objects that I will find it useful if I am employed at 3D package design. I was going to buy a 3D graphics program such as Modo for this but Xara may well make that unnecessary .
I have become a Xarist, Xarian, Xarite, Xaraphile...:D

grenadi- if you like 3d- either you can use Xara Xtreme 4.0's new 3d extrude tool- or you can use Xara 3d- which you can also use it with Xara Xtreme. I find Xara 3d avery useful program once you get to know it.:)

I have testing to recreate your bottle
Re: advanced perfume bottles & technique
Xara might not be as powerful at technical stuff that industry wants, eg spot colours, but it is an awesome artistic program.
Best features of programs:
Xara: 3D extrusion tool
Illustrator: colour wheel
Inkscape: mathematical shape tools
Coreldraw: patterning tool [why it's popular in fashion/clothes industry]
Re: advanced perfume bottles & technique
Dominique, thank you for improving my bottle as well :D
BTW, how do you get that wire frame?
I dropped French in high school and learnt Chinese!
Merci :) [Only other French I know is Cest Lundi because my philosophy lecturer, the late Robert Pargetter at Monash Uni, once used that as an example and said that he knew no other French!]

Select the Set View Quality slider (see attached). You then need to go to the Arrange Menu and create a bitmap copy, returning the slider to full quality will show you a bitmap of the wireframe.
Saludos,
Bob.

Here's my quick and dirty example. Just a few shapes as you can see.

"Xaran" is the term many of us oldtimers have been using. :D
