Xara X is infectious!

Symptoms: restlessness, insomnia, excited state, mumbling "beta" over and over again, sudden interest in bugs, and worrying about what happens at the end of October...

Aside from your silliness Ross, I like the way you have simulated texture mapping by carefully enveloping the text to wrap around your face. Nice effect.

Be It Every So Humble...

I suppose I am silly - I'm just having some fun playing with Xara. Actually only one of the words on my face used the envelope tool. That would be the one on the bottom of my big nose. All the others are just stretched, rotated, or skewed as required for the effect. In the context of a face, which we intuitively know to be three dimensional, the words appear to be "mapped" into the 3rd dimension. A somewhat successful experiment.

Ross, I really don't think you should be using beta software to experiment with facial tatoos. OK, the experiment was successful this time, but what about next time or the time after that. What if you discover that the beta 2 version of XaraX will not erase objects created witht the beta 1 version? What if XaraX crashed while you were doing this? Take care man, and be careful,

The part that hurt the most was putting my head in the printer!
