The August 2006 Xara Xone

A glass of beer for JamesMC.

Post your final tutorial images here for all to see.

And some wonderful images from our very own Bob Hahn.

All this and more. And thanks to Xara, all FREE!

Very nice work!

But has anyone done the tutorial?

Some times I think I am the only one doing these tutorials.

Relax Man,

Chill out! Have a beer.

(Mind you if anyone tried to charge me for this pint I'd want to know when the next tides in.)

In case you missed it Bill has already replicated your tutorial using XaraXtreme LX. It might even be your first tutorial produced in Xtreme LX.

Thanks so much for the great tutorials, Gary!
I do each and every one of them, but didn't think to post my version of them - since I figured everyone was already doing them and seeing the results for themselves! But it IS nice to see the possible variations, if any.

This one was a lengthy one for me, as I'm still learning, but a great one! As I don't drink alcohol, this is probably the most time I've ever spent on a beer!

My glass reflection on the table is off, but I decided to call it quits for now, since I've already spent quite a bit of time on this. Oh, and the blurred background is still blurry on the edges ... I'll perfect it all later!

Cheers!

Do I whine too much?

Great work.

Actually it was Paul Soderholm not Frank who did the Linus version.

Does it count if we do an empty glass, having drunk the suds before all the carbonation disappears?

What happened to the pizza, I thought you were going to add that to, New York stlye, maybe, granted the work to do the glass of beer, Gary is totally amazing. We are lucky to have you.

Three cheers for Gary.

My apologies to Paul.

Hello Gary,

I have never failed to learn something from one of your tutorials during the last 10 years or so...and I appreciate all the effort that goes into everyone of them.

The pizza was JamesMC's thing. You need to ask him. Actually I think he did post his image earlier.

A slice of pizza might be a fun (and gooey) tutorial.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, you can buy a small bag of pizza dough and make your own pizza almost from scratch. We've been having a lot of fun making our own with lots of red sauce, peperoni, mozarella, and assorted veggies. Off topic a bit, but now I am really hungry.

Ciao! Chow.
