Salaam, don't have an answer for your multi-crop question... after all, YOU are one of the X3D masters!
However, that swinging thing certainly needs a tutorial!!!!!

Superb, Anas, I love it. That was the obvious next step, I was thinking I might try something like that myself, but you beat me to it. It wasn't going to work with the original positioning, so I had to add a bit of string so that all the text could stay in the same plane.

The cropping of the set of sizing pixels can be done easily within X3D itself, just set the frame size and adjust the position of the image so that the pixels lie outside the frame. When you export the image/animation the output is cropped to the window size.

In my case I exported single frames as a screendump from X3D to XaraXtreme, and then had to crop each frame manually, but with only 7 frames it only takes a minute.

The string makes it!!! Great job, BOTH of you! If I were those Kids I would pick this last one.

Mike, I was thinking of how to make it look more natural but your string completes it perfectly.

Thanks Bob but the problem is probably more to do with Xtreme know how which is you excel much more than I do. When I become a master I will get bored with X3D and turn to something else.

Here's a swf file of my completed sample. Hope it contributes a little.

Very clever, Ron, how did you do that?, a wavy swing?

Hi Guys,

Every time I return to the forum it brings a smile to my face. Thanks again for all of your fantastic ideas and suggestions.

We had a "discussion" with the group. While they liked the ideas and suggestions, they didn't want to use any of them Little bit of "direction" required!!!!

Anyway the end result (as a starter for 10) was the logo below. Nice, simple, modern with a backlight. At least now we have a target! (The examples have been really helpful in drawing out of the kids exactly what they want and how they want to be perceived! It's Great)

ANy creative versions of the version below would be gratefully received! Obliged

Someone else can definitely improve on this, but here's what I came up with taking into consideration your last posting...
