    Default Snooker

    All the talk about snooker in the Wordpix thread got me thinking. "I can draw a snooker table .... Can't I?"

    I have used Xara before to do TextArt and bits of things with ClipArt and text, but have never actually drawn anything .... Never. So with that in mind, I drew a snooker table from scratch. No ClipArt just me and Xara.

    Woohoo, I think I did it - I'm so proud of myself.

    Next job's to make it look photo realistic.

    If anyone needs a clipart snooker table, let me know, I'll send you the Xar.

    Looks very good Keith.

    I've seen snooker tables in some of the finer "Pool Halls" here in the States. I've never played the game myself. Playing the games known as 8 ball and 9 ball were about all I could manage.

    Great start Keith, well done I think!
    And you got me thinking about the balls - so here's one I've drawn for your table. XAR included so you can pick it apart and see how I did it. (note: I've used clipview, so alt+Q to release the objects)

    haha! -Tao just beat me to it!! Nice Balls Tao
