Time flys when you are having fun. Please show us your current Xara work.
Valentine's day is only 13 days away :cool:
Updated an older drawing by changing some fills and a few shapes.
Beautiful rose Bill.
Personally working on some floor plans - Work in Progress .....
Thanks Keith. The floor plans look good.
This is a work in progress. I think I have the correct colours for the brass pot. Working on how to make dents. ;)
Artwork in-progress for the Company Van at my part-time job with the sign company.
All part of the 'new image'
I like the artwork on the van very much Steve.
Nice job Steve eye catching.
Looks really good Steve.
The market in cars seems a bit flooded at present,
so I shall not be posting the finished article in the
gallery for a while. Not that it's finished yet anyway;).
Of all the classic cars in the world, only about 5%
came from outside the USA, in my opinion.
This was one of them.
Saludos,

A stereogram of a icosahedron" - a solid with 20 faces that are all equilateral triangles (of the same size).
This is an exploration for a commissioned project. The group commissioning the project uses this icosahedron as their logo.
Gary
That is really, really cool
Pyramid power redefined! Great job, Gary!
That is amazing Gary the way that pops out at you in the middle of the screen. I like the backsetting you've used for it as well.
:confused: I wish I could see these things..!
Obviously I'm not in my right mind...
Hm... strange maybe Im in mistake but I feel that object is a concave :confused:
I think this is one of your best Gary. A thing of beauty.
Sledger,
I couldn't see them for years either. My method is to stick my nose on the monitor and look at the wall behind it. You won't see it of course but focus on the wall, not the monitor.
Now draw your head away from the computer. Your brain automatically tells your eyes to refocus on the altered view. The trick is to ignore this strong desire but to continue forcing your eyes to look at the wall behind the monitor.
Then slowly the image will take on a very strong 3D effect.
Once you can see one then you will be able to view them all.
Perhaps Gary could try producing the ultimate stereo-gram for non-believers.
Don't worry Sledger.... I can never get these either. And I'm usually 100% with just about everything "slight of hand".... just not stereo-grams.:p
It drove me nuts for years.... but I just gave up and I'm feeling MUCH better now....:rolleyes:
honest
I probably missed out on the better grade substances earlier in life..
Still can't see it, and got an awful smudge on my lcd screen, ouch :D
Amazing!
Gary, that's amazing!
This is a 'named colours' doodle after doing Egg's excellent video tut. Wish I'd done it before - it's really good fun.
Excellent Stereogram Gary, but like minimiro, I find that it seems to be concave rather than "popping out" of the screen.
Lately I've been using Xara Xtreme Pro to assemble illustrations prepared using SketchUp (3d modelling) + Podium (rendering plugin for SketchUp). The image attached is a work-in-progress image relating to a kitchen I'm working on modelling. I made the illustration just after finishing modelling the big range. The illustration features tonal values of a monochromatic render combined with a linework-only export from SketchUp. The two base images are brought into Xtreme and combined using transpariency -- in an effort to produce this particular style of technical drawing.
Regards, Ross
very impressive Ross. Is this a style combo you came up with?
It sure looks good to me Ross. I'm a fan of combining the strengths of more than one software package in producing work.
Penny very nice looking gowns. Using named colours is great for trying different colour combinations.
Ross nice kitchen and clever use of multiple apps. The monochromatic look does make me want to get out my box of crayola crayons ;)
Very nice Penny...
nice job ross. I take it you are left handed, or the chef is anyway. with the majority of burner on the left that is.:)
Sorry Penny, I got carried away looking at Ross's 3D. Named colours are something I should use myself when doing work. There are times when you want to shift the colour slightly. You've shown a good example of it.
There are two ways to view a stereogram: Parallel and Cross Eyed.
Parallel viewing is when you look straight ahead (actually you focus through the image and behind it with your distance vision). When you look at a stereogram with Parallel vision the object will appear to come forward.
Cross-Eyed viewing is when you cross your eyes when you look at the image. When you look at a stereogram with your eyes crossed the object will appear to go backwards.
In each case you are not really focusing your eyes on the actual image. You are looking behind or through the image. Most people who cannot see the hidden image are focusing on the image itself.
Gary
Here's another version of the previous stereogram. This uses a repeating pattern technique to mask the image.
These were done for a Math society that uses the Icosahedron for their logo.
Gary
Wonderful Stereogram Gary.
Thank you for the explanation of viewing. Don't seem to be able to do the parallel viewing, will have to stick to the cross eyed variant .....
Thanks a lot Gary..... now I have FOUR kids:eek:
:D
And I thought you couldn't outdo the first one. Man, was I wrong. That would make a great full-size poster.
I tried the cross-eye method and saw two of everything. Then felt sick.
Double WOW Gary, that's awsome. I can see how one could get hooked on these.
Just something I did to keep a bit in practice.
