A turtle drawing.
Rich
this is very pretty it seems like it has a lot of meaning to it , i love the drawing its beautiful awesome did you draw it yourself ?
Neat Rich. Hope you don't mind me saying that it looks very similar to your avatar. I like it.
It started as a simple block drawing. I never do anything difficult. Some things are just tedious.
Larry, the fill drawing was modified using a plugin in Xara.
Rich
Thanks Rich, that's a great drawing. =D>
Larry,
A view of the fill drawing. Mostly flies and duck colors. I used Mezzoforce Ice on the adjusted image. Not sure if this is still available.
Rich
Rich, I have Mezzoforce Ice, and snow. Ice used to run but would no longer work because it was missing something or other. I just tried ice again and it does not function, I get a critical stop saying missing plug in component please reinstall, but of course I cannot and I have tried many times before to get it again but it is no longer available. What a shame.
Larry,
I reinstalled version 2 without a problem. That was the last version before they disappeared. I never did know what happened to them. I still use v 1.03. They were going to remove it from circulation because it was causing critical errors in newer applications. That was some time ago.
Rich
Rich I had v 1.03 but now I have v 2 and cannot find the earlier version on my system anymore. Also Mezzoforce snow is snow v 2 and it works. Not that it really matters since I don't use plugins much anyway, but, I did like Mezzoforce ice.
Larry,
Maybe this help with a search.
Rich
Larry,
Ice 2 returns a semitransparent background with Xara as a host. That doesn't happen from Photoshop. Ice 1.03 doesn't.
Ice 2 has a true screen view, and 1.03 is just guessing.
Rich
Thanks Rich, I searched my system and could not find the preveous version. I have ice 2 but it does not work, and there does not seem to be any way of getting it again or v 1.03 either. I have photoshop elements 8, I'll try it there.
Larry,
They would send a download link. You would install with the name you used to license along with the serial number, and then activate to program. My guess is that you would not be able to activate the program since they seem to have disappeared.
Rich
I did a web search, and it appears the program is still available.
You are right there Rich. No matter what I do it just won't work. The installer doesn't work either. So I may as well pitch them.
It appeared that the lite versions were available. Free for personal use. They are limited to 800 pixel images. I don't think you can set presets.
I was using about 2000 pixel PNG image. With a PNG it is easy to make a mask, and remove the background.
Rich
your very talented I always save some of your graphics on my pc...
Actually, I do things that are exceptionally simple. I never could draw objects to color and shade. So, things may appear complex, but are very easy. Some drawings are tedious, but Xara makes it simple to draw. I make my own resources, especially environments. Probably thousands over the years. I tried to learn how to design to create an effect, but in the end just made things and tried them. Because I color with environments, I have something like a palette with all the colors. I may have a thousand loaded. Guess I'm talented in making easy things appear difficult. I only use the drawings to test the environments. Rich
Rich I searched for ice on the web and found ice 2 lite on OK but the setup has expired. So still no go. That is the same problem I have run into numerous times.
You might try thepluginsite.com for 1.03
As far as I know they just disappeared one day. I think the later versions required activation. Been some time, though.
They may have removed it altogether.
Rich
it's not always has to be that complicated to be a drawing..Quote:
