Good call Sledger; I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

Appreciate the thought, but I'm far more interested in the process than in the final result. I see something cool and then I want to know how it was done. I was playing around with my bitmap image editor and came up with some stuff fairly close, then it occurred to me there's probably some coolness in XX4 that can do much the same effect, coupled with the realization I had less than a fraction of a clue how one might do it using vector stuff. So, here I am.

So, Big Frank...is it possible it was some kind of special application of gradients?

In some cases it's kind of pointless uploading the XAR file because it doesn't tell you the steps somebody went through to get the effect that is of interest. That is the case here. In addition to that I'm happy to upload some of my work for open access, not for others. This one I'm not.
However, I'm doing a little walk-through for those people interested in how the effect was created.
brb
PS. no, not a single gradient involved.
If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.

Thank you nostaw.

The thread has grown it's own legs and the effect Spinny is seeking is well illustrated by your own work Frank.
The owner of the original image which Spinny asked to be removed after I'd pointed out the copyright concern would righty be just as concerned that you have uploaded a copy to your own photobucket account.
Your link will not appear at TG.
Thanks
