Looks very interesting Larry.
I noticed this month's Xara Outsider mistakenly attributed Bob's guest tutorial to me.

I liked some of the effects I was getting with this one. Well Bill, Bob did a very nice tutorial, too bad I struggled with it so hard. I have followed the tutorial as best I can, over and over but always I seem to have problems. The last attempt has been the closest to success, but, I started trying something extra to it and ran into significant problems. I got it done, then used the 3Dtool on it and added a shadow and my poor computer would grind away trying to do what I asked but it took forever. Actually it didn't really want to do what I asked so even trying to add a shadow was a problem, change the trans. of the shadow was a problem, changing colors was a problem, so I am wondering if I need a better graphics card. Would Xara benefit from a dedicated graphics card? This is getting off topic, sorry about that.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Larry unless things have changed over the past few years Xara uses it's own graphics routines and not those of any hardware. However my information may be badly outdated.

Larry that looks like a very good start. Where were you wanting to take it?

Larry—
This might be of some help in reaching your goal, but not exactly the steps Bob offered this month.
1.) Figure out some way to create large, chunky noise. Then blur if if you need to.
2. ) Have Xara auto-trace it.
3. Clean the results up to your taste.
This is essentially what the tutorial is teaching, and Bob has Taylored his steps to make it a goal-oriented series of procedures.
My Best,
Gary
If anyone would like me to post some images of noise, say the word. Here's one to begin with:
