Lighting effects stars and glowing lines

[kev1e]

Hi i have been reading some tutorials on the web recently about creating glowing lines and star effects however these tutorials are using photoshop.

Would like to know your techniques for creating in xara.




thanks

Hi Kev1e, without an example it's hard to know if I'm steering you in the right direction or not but for some outer space type techniques you could check out this tutorial from the Xara Xone. If you are looking for a more magical idea this example was done with 2 brushes one for the sparkle and one for the glow.

The glow brush was created with a series of semi transparent shapes and the sparkle was created with a series of quick shape stars.

Cool that is the technique i am looking for in the image you have post. Will have a go myself.

thanks again

If you get stuck let me know and I'll post a tutorial showing how I made the brushes. Good Luck!
