Making Rays

**codered** · 30 June 2008, 04:38 PM

There are a lot of designs out there with 'rays' in the background. I know that there is an easy way to generate them in Xara. Anyone out there wanna fill me in?
An example is here.

Hi and welcome to TG codered. There are many ways of doing this in XXP. Open the attached mini -tut and see if you can follow this one way of doing it.

Great! I'm gonna give it a try right now.

I think spray could do this.

Welcome to TG Codered.

I think rather than referring to a tom cat habit, John is suggesting the use of TG member Dmitry's SPRAY utility which is freely available from his website

I knew somebody would save my tail on that one. I knew the program but didn't have the time to look up the specifics. Dinner is served... makes posting time limited...

I had to give it a go, myself. Thanks to codered for bringing up the topic and to Egg for his always timely, informative and instructive tutorials.

Any results of your trials and tribulations, codered?

Here's one of mine...
