Re: Daily Dose#3 "the Sunset Challenge"
Thanks, Hans,
I'm rather mystified by the lack of response to your thread, and Egg's challenge as well.
These are good challenges that should be provoking more attempts, especially from the Xara newbies out there.
Perhaps there shoud be a forum for Xara Newbies with challenges such as this, I think it would reduce the number of threads asking for help on the very basic questions, which can easily be solved within Xara's help files and Gary's Webxealot.
There is a good deal of apparent laziness in some of the postings here, from people who:
a) cannot be bothered to find out certain fundamental solutions for themselves, and
b) fail to respond to the generous responses with even a "thankyou" in return.
Solo mi cinco centimos.
Saludos,
Bob.
Re: Daily Dose#3 "the Sunset Challenge"
Hi Bob,
That's indeed the main point,to teach anyone some tricks how to do things
and forcing yourself to learn a thing or two.
Rather this then answering same questions over and over again.
On other fora i attend,i rarely ask a question but post if i feel i was mastering some stuff
This i do by using the search box and when i find a person who answers
a lot of questions i search by his (nick)name to find those little gems they already came up with.
Though here on TG,there's no lack of guru's,as they are called on some fora,
and a lot of tutorials,thanks to Gary,Egg,Xhris and the all the others.
Hans

Perhaps because it took a little thinking, and everybody's tired, myself included.

Re: Daily Dose#3 "the Sunset Challenge"
sorry guys - bit busy - here's mine
cheated a bit at the the end, by tweaking shape slightly - 'cos I likes to be different ;)
Re: Daily Dose#3 "the Sunset Challenge"
'iamtheblues' seems to be wrong since his image doesn't include the water reflection.
Since 'handrawn' has decided to break the rules by 'tweaking shape slightly' it is impossible to know whether he succeeded or not.
I myself failed. I managed the reflection but failed to reproduce the crisp waters edge. I imagine that it has something to do with the 'bevel'.
Nice one 'haakoo'.

Re: Daily Dose#3 "the Sunset Challenge"
perhaps closer to the original - is it just me, or is it normal to get the line artifact?

I always get sidetracked when doing a challenge,
and then I made something totally different from the challenge.
I can give you an ex sample right now.
Re: Daily Dose#3 "the Sunset Challenge"
Ankhor it may not meet the challenge rules, but I think it is excellent. Looks metallic.
Re: Daily Dose#3 "the Sunset Challenge"
Hi,
Seems it was a bit to think about.
Hope you all found the easy way to achieve this(it's only a few clicks)
Ankhor,you did stray of the challenge but what a great contribution
You might elaborate on how you got to this?
Hans
