GLASS Letters

Better later than never...

I've been reading the forum for years (All my respect to Gary) but never posted. But Xander's idea reminded me a technique you were using for
Aurora Borealis. I made a small attempt and here is what i've got. Method is very close to Mark's perfect small tutorial< but not identical

Very nice. Almost "jello" like i think. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Hi Andy,

Welcome to the forum officially!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I would be interested in a tutorial on your technique. I think the "3" you have posted in the group, closest to the viewer is spot on.

If you don't have the time then I totally understand but I think it would be useful to see how you achieved this effect.

Many thanks http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

RAM... just lower the Opacity a great deal and you'll get the almost invisible effect that you mentioned. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Welcome Andy

Splendid effect. I suspect you did it with the reverse rainbow color option?

By the way - Mark submitted a splendid expanded version of his tutorial which will be the Guest Tutorial for September.

Not at all, Gary! I always enjoy this forum. With its friendly, very professional, competent and talanted members, its creative and generous atmosphere, I'm sure it's one of the best.

Richard! It's not a matter of time. I'm afraid my English isn't quite good to make a tutorial e.g. Mark did. If the .xar file will do, here it is (I attach it).

... There isn't anything remarkable. The only noticeable difference between Mark's method and mine is that for rainbow group I convert lines to shapes and applied a linear repeating alt-rainbow fill to lower shape. Then blended them in usual way and played with various transparency levels and types to get the final effect.
Hope it wil be usefull for you!

This is my first post here, and I have to say ARG! I can't get that effect just right http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

I can't wait for the full tutorial http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

p.s. love your work Gary! You and this forum makes using Xara X MUCH easier!

Welcome fscnitro.

I think your example looks great. Nothing to apologize with that image.
