XaraX bevel and 3D texture

[ivan louette]

I post example here for those who don't travel through Xara X forum.

It is only made with pure Xara X and without any bitmap effects. Only bevels, contours, fractal transparencies, applied to several superposed clones of a simple line!

It was inspired to me by some reflection about erosion in this topic:

Enjoy the 3D like effects,

Awsome effect Ivan! How long did it take you? Definentally 3D

Neat effect Ivan.

Thanks, Steve and Randy, I think I played les than 25 minutes at this one in one session of a little bit more than one hour where I tried some different techniques. As the technique is discovered it is very fast to reproduce this kind of effects in Xara X.
I have some holidays next days and I will try to prepare a tutorial for Xara X main forum. I will post a link here when it will be ready.

Kind regards,

ivan

Looking forware to it Ivan.

I wasn't able to post a tutorial last week because of a little physical crash (erosion on my disk or on my CPU). I hope soon this week end and I hope your patience isn't too eroded!

While you are waiting here is another sample and I have posted the file here:

VERY nice work, Ivan.

I was playing with fractal fills in version 2, and came up with a chrome-appearing logo that, because it's all vectors and fills, I could scale for any use.

Free education! The Writings Web site
and the updated GaryWorld Gallery is pretty okay, too.
