Re: Solder (E4)
I believe E3.3 is still available for free download. It is a non expiring trial version. The application was taken over by Microsoft and is part of set of appications. There is a beta available that has several new features, and MS has been working out the bugs. You can read about it in the MS Expression forum.
A map (environment) is a source of color. The application only used the circular part of the image. Spherical shaping transfers to the object and gives the object shape. It depends a lot on the amp itself. I have 20 different styles. I have a set of images that I use for environments in Super Blade Pro that I use in Expression.
Expression is the only application that I know that will apply a map to an object, and use maps that have transparent areas.
I also use maps for edge erasing and shading. I have about 500 maps in my resource folder that have a good range of color. I have named them so they appear in order of color or type.
I have been currently looking at strokes. A story for another day, I think.
