cooool
leafs going out looks v nice
one thing i can complain on is strong blur on the belly of D
why?
because there is leaf which is sharp and the edge between beely and front side which is also sharp so this blur cannot be treated as focal/lens blur
but anyway it looks great
Could we possibly have a summer first Derek? I thought at first that it was a rust like fill you'd applied but on a second look I realised it was a fall photo. Was the blur intentional or was it the image resolution that caused it? It's the only thing that doesn't quite gel in an otherwise great image.
Awe... I don't care what they say. It looks good to me Derek...
It was the dent/bump deformation filter as I tried to distort the image around the curve, having tried fisheye, which obviously didn't work as well as I hoped, so I'm still trying. Without leaving Xara of course, though I'm not hopefull.Quote:

Nice work Derek. I always liked autumn colours.
I think that's great. I like the blur effect in the first image - it gives the effect of an autumn wind........
good idea derek and effect. I haven't really played with the extrude tool much but this is my attempt at covering all surface with an image...maybe my image doesn't wrap correctly as you are trying to do...thanks tao
It all comes from a question in this threadQuote:

Here's my attempt. It's made up of the same shape. and using only extrusions.
The first shape is extruded, no bevel extrude depth 1. The 3rd shape is the same but extruded 30. The second shape is the same as the third (30 extrusion) but with a flat fill, and a 27.5% brightness transparency applied to endeavour to keep the highlights. View the attached xar for more detail. Use the layers gallery.

That works very well.
Derek
Thank's. It's an alternative way Derek or a half way house for 3D. I still prefer the creating vectors option as it gives more control. Just thought I'd point out an alternative way of doing things (as of all things Xara related).
good one egg..regards tao
