Red Hydrant trace

I eliminated the background to make the trace easier to handle file size wise. The shadow was drawn independently. Rich

Could I just suggest one improvement: Give the sides some form as the pearl "cube" flip-flops due to optical perception.

The trace worked well, but too many vectors to handle. I changed to a clipview to reduce the working data. A couple of things I thought to try. I got the impression Egg was wanting me to make things more dynamic. Rich

Thought I would add some volume. Rich

This was a great capability. Basically, I painted the image, and cropped it to a minimum size. This reduce the overall working file. I only needed part of the image for the clipview since the shadow was drawn separately. I also tried the clipped image as a reflection. The image was manipulated for the reflection, and transparency added. I thought this was a good effect to cut the image background and set transparency to the resulting image. Rich
