Unless you want the animation, Xara 3D6 in now pretty much done for drawing purposes ... or am I wrong (again) ...

If you know how to make animation files in Xtreme then you can make the 3D animations from within Xtreme. YOu dont have all of the controls and options such as in the 3D program but you could still come up with some nice animation files. A quick sample I tried.

Just one more quickie to show that you can now do 3D animation from Xtreme 4. Now could someone make my logo 3D and make it spin for me ? Please?

Well done Bruce. I used to be hooked on animations and adding them to e-mails, but I haven't done any for quite a while.

Re-rendered entirely within XXP4, an image I originally made with Xara3D two or three years ago. I still had the original XaraX vectors and textures. I don't throw anything like that away if I can help it!

The only compromise I had to make for XaraXtremePro4 was that a couple of parts needed sliced to allow them to be both in front of and behind other parts due to the difference in the way that Xara3D and XXP4 handle multiple objects in 3D space. It has turned out pretty much identical to the X3D version.

I won't be throwing away Xara3D just yet, as it has more flexibility in the 3D environment than XXP4 has at the moment, though I'm sure that will come in the next version or so.
