Re: September 2014 Guest Tute - Creating illustrations With Only Extrudes
Jeez, Rik, I love it. I would not have gone to such lengths to make such a complicated reflection, but then again, I'm not you!
Lucky you! :)
The thing really lives and breaths now!

This isn't any attempt to do "lifelike", but I was pleased to be able to illustrate 90% of this scene with only extrudes. The rest is either purely hand illustrated, or I used Expressions for the smoke.

No any innovation just I like if that trapezoid is also an extrude, because later with the lights feeling more convenient to set the final color of that 'scene'.

Thanks for your comments, Gary.
You asked for a bit of realism, so as the image looks complete.
It took a short while (not too long), but I feel that it was worth the effort.

Thanks for your very kind words,
seeing Gare's example associated that yes the extrude tool also should quite fit to fast illustrating of children games, as its 'material' is quite easily looks some like plastic

Oh, count me out on the compliments, stygg. I might make remarks about lighting and other photorealistic elements, but the lens tutorial was entirely Rik's offering for XaraXone. I'm still working on a Xara Academy logo! And Certificates of Excellence.

(BTW, xaracademy and xaraacedmy.com belong to TheBoutons, but they are parked until we can get cracking on it some day).

Exactly had the same next thought that nice would be putting the figures to the train but did not have more time, maybe on Thursday can try something (or the Photo compositions 2, or to where Xara leads that never can be known :D)

Gary your post #36, I know it was Rik's tips & tricks and a great one too, I got my wording mixed up which is not un-usual now a days :) I've posted two images, one with reflection and the other with shadow. Hope I've done your t&t justice Rik :rolleyes:
