Congratulations Gare and Barbara! Huff puff... What a hill to climb!

Oh for goodness sake! I never even thought of that. As long as the cursor is in the size box, all I have to do is use the up and down arrow keys.

Thanks, Christine!

Well, there is a workaround. I just opened up one of the Xara files in Notepad and found all the Texture Size variables. Editing them was simple. For instance, in this sample the button texture size...

I have a small complaint with the scaling limitation of Xara3D6. In v.5 one could scale textures down to 10% I believe and I found myself often using a 12% - 18% scaling, particularly with wood...

Speaking of stereograms and other forms of 3D visual creations... I just received a notification of an update to an inexpensive shareware, 3D Maker which creates analyglyphs, stereograms and 3DMF...

Mike,

Those stereograms that you've created work very well. I learned an alternate technique for seeing them back in the early 90s when Magic Eye stereograms had appeared in popular culture for a...

Thanks for the tip, Jeff. I downloaded the lite version and will take a look at it tomorrow. It may languish on the back burner, though, as I just installed MS Office 2003 Pro and Dragon Naturally...

Hi SundayNiagra,

I was new to X3D in the last month or so and can offer some ideas. When you are just exploring, I'd suggest going to the Options menu (or just click on the buttons at the left...

Bill,

Hmmmm...It sounds that an extended warranty is a necessity with the eMachine. It was offered but I didn't go for it at the time. I better look into that. Sounds as though refurbished means a...

John,

I went for cheap and found a factory refurbished eMachine, AMD Athlon XP 2600+ / 512MB DDR / 120GB HDD / CD-RW / DVD-ROM / Windows XP Home for $319 after a $100 rebate. I figure to add at...

Aha, thanks for the...

Art,

I had already run into the circumstances of wishing I could specify a text size over 288pts so that's one of your tips I'm going to use immediately. Am I correct in presuming that you are...

That's a very cool tip, Al. I think I'll look at a 3D file just for the heck of it... You never know, I might learn something even though I'm an artist rather than a programmer.

Thank you, Egg. Noting the coords and replicating them after moving the light is a good work around. I was secretly hoping that I was missing some trick. Oh well... hope springs eternal...

Cheers!...

I ran into a case where one of the lights was hidden totally behind a .wmf which was imported into my current scene. I didn't wish to mess around with the placement or rotation of my objects and yet...

Thank you very much, Bill. I did receive the Xara3D5 CD but that plugin didn't install automatically, if it's on there. I didn't know to look.

Cheers!

Newbie to Xara3D, running it on a Mac with Virtual PC. When I attempt to load a .xar or .web file using the Import File dialog the import fails with a warning dialog popping up which just tells me...

Hi fencepost,

Yep, the images you provided do represent what I was after. Unfortunately I was trying for print and while your images look great on the screen it might be difficult to use them in...

John,

XaraX1 is the main reason that I might buy a Window's based computer. I've looked at the galleries and have been interested in the application by being associated with the Photoshop Guru's...

Thank you all for your replies. I should have mentioned that I was immediately interested in a static image for print and Bill answered my unexpressed question exactly. For the time being, I'll have...
