Gary Bouton's non-Xara Art II

[Gare]

Here's another thing yuou might to try, again, using Xara' Extrude feature:



The Xara file I used (a little, not completely) is attached and with some Copy and Pasting of attrubetsa of the Extrude tool, yuo can probably make yourself a neat office dispenser.

My Best,

Gary

Love the radio, Gare!
The tape dispenser is great too.
I've started a 1920s floor radio because of your drawing. Thanks for the inspiration!

I like the tape dispenser too Gare. I may have that a shot and see if I too can draw it.

Ron, Larry, best of luck reproducing a tape dispenser. I think all the pieces you need to extrude them are there. It's just that some way to make the dispenser itself semi-transparenct is the challenge. You might try making a vector face to the dispenser, and then extruding a copy of a hollow dispenser (make the outline an editable shape), and then make it selmi-transparent so the tape shows through, and then pt the semitransparent vector face over the top.

I did this recently (for a change!), and after using Nik's filters, I think I like the B & W version better!

I was trying here to visually explain the Right Hand Coordinate system to tell which way rotation goes in modeling 3D space.

I was trying here to visually explain the Left Hand Coordinate system to tell which way rotation goes in modeling 3D space.

Why did you model it on a right hand then?

[Gare]

...because I'm left handed?

No, sorry, This is the Right Hand coordinate system. You arrange you hand like this and the direction of positive rotation follws my arrows here.

I'll correct my ___-up above, thanks!

It's a nice graphic, though, isn't it?

It's a brilliant graphic!

[wizard509]

It's a brilliant graphic!

I think so too.

Great graphic Gare!
Currently, it could be a political gesture; the blue, the red and the independents...
