    Default Faux 3D

    3D or not 3D?
    That is the question.


    Xara X, with a li'l help from me, produced this.
    No filters, plugins or accessories - just basic Xara tools.

    Mebbe this is more believeable as a 3D image?
    It isn't, of course ...

    I like the first one better - it feels so clean, and I like your colors. I even like the 3-d effect.

    Just don't ask for my engineering viewpoint on it!

    Thnx David.
    The first one started of as a picture - the intention was to do a full illustration using only shades of the same blue ... then I sorta got sidetracked. Kept the colour scheme though.
    The second - well, no engineers reside at Intbel Mansion.

    What I am endeavouring to do is to produce an image in Xara X which will fool folks in the 3D forum.

    I think that is a good use of my spare time >grin<

    intbel, i think that space pic is most excellent. oddly though, i saw it yesterday and now i am seeing it again today ---> today the left rotating shape is not round anymore - i thought for sure it was yesterday. today the left edge is flat and the top and bottom are kind of distorted. the car??? i just dunno............................................. ............................

    Like me it deteriorates with age.
    The car? Well, at least you recognise it as being a car - that means I have done some thing right.
