Wire Mesh

[Burpee]

This tool would be wonderfully useful to me. I do it Sledger's way right now but I can't always achieve 'just the right look', mostly because I create very large work and the feather only goes to 50pixels. It's useless to me sometimes. I love how you can get all the different colors in the various areas. Of course, I don't know if AI has an issue with feathering large images either but I'd be very happy to have a mesh tool in Xara.

I have just seen a demo of use of mesh tool in manga studio [hard copy no link sorry] - when it comes to body curves and clothing folds on textured fill, it looks darn impressive
