    Default Stained Glass

    Here's something I fashioned a while ago. It started out as a simple line drawing. It was fun turning it into a stained glass piece.

    Lonnie, that is excellent. How did you do that?

    Nice work Lonk. I especially like the blue background.

    LonK,

    The blue glass background is very effective. Is it a bitmap or vector?

    Egg,

    Sorry about it. Just mis-pressed the button.

    I would not have pressed it if I had known that would mess up the flow of the thread.

    Pretty simple actually. Do it in Xara by tracing a thick line drawing and bevel -- or just draw your lines. Draw the shapes, fill them with stained glass textures, place behind lines. In a raster editor, the process is pretty much the same.

    Thanks, Norman. That blue glass texture looks very sky like, dunnit?

    All of the glass textures are bitmap fills Egg. Easily found with a simple google.

    The texture works really well, Lonnie. It does add 'light'. Colours are nice and bright also.

    One thing - the slightly jagged bevel edges are a bit distracting. Granted, it's the nature of the tool/feature, and not anything you did wrong. However, it's easy to minimize or to get rid of all together --- export the graphic at many more times the size of what's required for screen view, and then resize the "over-sized" bitmap in your favourite raster application. The more pixels in the exported image - the more pixels for the AA to work with, and smooth out.

    Thanks for sharing!
