The "Text brush" topic was very inspiring for th idea I develop here. But it is quite experimental and because of a little bug in shadows (I think Xara guys are working on that for the patch) the first of the two images I will show is a screenshot.
1 draw a shape (100 pt high)
2 add wall shadow (blur 4,5 pt, transparency 50 %, vertical and horizontal position 0 pt)
3 convert to shapes
4 create a brush (uncheck tile fills, don't rotate along the path, spacing minimum)
Very interesting also for simple shapes extrusions.
Enjoy,
ivan
