Eric, heh heh, I was going to specify that line in my post but couldn't decide how to "spell" it. I seem to...

I'm probably showing my advanced age, but anyone remember the British show "On the Buses" back in the late 60s or early 70s? It was too funny.

Reuters: In a startling and horrifying discovery off the coast of Nova Scotia, fishermen brought back a live specimen of Gingergalophocus, long believed to have been extinct for over 200 million...

Nice work Panfer, and like Allison says, they do seem to have a translucent quality. I like the way the falling drops speed up as they get close to dropping off the grapes too.

I'll have to agree with Gary in that, although animations can (and should) be fun, you still need to exercise caution. Remember the terrible uproar created by Ross's animated Bette Boop? Fortunately,...

Thanks Peter, I'll take a look...

Like I mentioned earlier, I suppose Xara made this compromise in order that all the "isometric" grid elements, major spacing and subdivision marks, would lie on...

I thought an isometric grid normally consisted of equilateral triangles and that the resulting diagonal lines were 30 degrees with repect to the horizontal. At least when the grid is drawn on paper....

The isometric grid seems to be stretched in the X direction so that the height (in the X direction) of the triangles is equal to the length of the sides in the Y direction. The result is that the...

Beautiful rendition Big Frank, wish I could draw like that. My only complaint would be that it looks TOO good. Possibly a bit of rust on the front would add a bit of realism.

These VWs weren't...

Has anyone successfully applied the Xara X patch on a 486? I have an ancient 486 (66MHz), Win95, 20MB RAM, and about 20MB free disk space and a clean install of Xara X 1.0b. I've been using the...

I thought it was pretty neat too, but removed it when I saw that it wouldn't pick up webtv users, or other browsers with Java turned off. By the way, I use netscape 4.74 on a Sun workstation, and...

Glenn, if you go to "search" at the top of this page, and search on "extrusion", there are some messages about using the Xara X Bevel Tool for this purpose.

Extrusion however, is really Xara 3D's...

Thanks for the tips on the Polo Sport bottle. I'll give it a try!

I'd love to see a tutorial on how to draw something like this!

Congratulations, Ross and Egg! Never forget that Xara X can be used for good or evil. May you have the strength to show us the way.

Thanks Ross for a glimpse of the variety of office accommodations in the UK. Actually, this was a very popular seating "arrangement" here in the US until just a few years ago. Unfortunately, due to...

Yes, that would probably be useful to be able to toggle between the current "lower-left" origin system for both the coordinates and each object, and an upper-left origin system which has increasing Y...

Drowan, are you referring to the small square with the nine grid points in the infobar for the selector tool? That's labeled as the "origin position locator" (or something like that) I don't have...

I haven't been able to reproduce any problems with this by dragging the origin or by setting values in the tabs. Note that the values in the tabs specify the origin relative to the lower left corner...

Yes, I tried your second example and got the same error. I'm using XX 1.0b and Win95.

No problem Mick, and thanks for the update. I'll save my kicking and screaming for when I really need it, for example, if I get mugged or something.

I was informed by Daniel (of Digital Red) that there isn't a thread length limit after all as I had thought. I didn't see the small "1 | 2 ..." on the top left and bottom right which are used to...

Another practical reason why this would not work is that this Forum software seems to place a rather small limit on the length of a thread.
I don't know whether it's a text limit or a limit on the...
