    Default CorelDraw X6 - Twirl Tool

    I downloaded the trial version of CDX6 today, so far I have only looked at one of the new tools...the twirl tool.
    After about 20 minutes of experimenting I came up with this. There is a fair bit of control when using the tool, but you have to work at it a bit.
    My example isn't perfect but it could be handy for stylized waves or one of those hotel door handle message thingies.
    Edit: As you can see, the result is vector.
    Bob.

    Hi Bob Is it a bit like Xara's Liquid Colour?

    Hi John,

    No. It's a vector versus bitmap effect.

    Take care, Mike

    Hi John,
    As Mike said, It's vector. Using it is quite similar to Liquid Colour, but there seems to be more control over the size and speed of the drawing. Also, the twirls can be clockwise or anti-clockwise within the same drawing.
    Edit: With care and practice the results look pretty good. The twirl has no effect on the fill of the object, unlike the Liquid Colour tool.
    Bob.

    You can have clockwise/anticlockwise in the same drawing with Liquid Colour. Definitely doesn't end up as vector though ... wish it did
