Hello stephane_fr,
There is some overlap of functionality. To me, it is as if Xara Designer has a lite version of Xara 3D built in. For some more advanced 3D things, like animation for one obvious example, Xara 3D works better/more quickly.
It has been discussed here before, but Xara 3D is really more of a titler than a true 3D package. (anyone who doesn't agree, show me please a sphere, a cube, and a regular pyramid simultaneously with their centers at different depths) Still, you can get some cool effects out of it. Anas made a wooden train model with it that was incredible.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I think Xara and Blender make an excellent tag-team.
Re: Not owning Xara 3D
I think you can download a trial copy and compare features and inter-usability yourself. It IS a program with a high fun-factor!
Peace
James
Thank you very much again.
I think then I'll download and try it to see the results.
Have good day
I do it all the time.About "complementary" : I was thinking that it is generaly possible to use Xara for vector works, to import them into a 3D soft to use it. Anyway that's not a current way to work in 3D softs I guess

Hi, guys.
Regarding this image: http://xaraxtv.at.tut.by/newgal/07.jpg
I've done this image because I was curious: can be gradients in photo-realistic images reproduced by Xara's set of gradient types. The second challenge was to use the minimum number of objects.
So, I rendered 3D model using photo-realistic renderer and then reproduced rendered image using Xara.
(if I'm not mistaken I used 11 objects)
I posted .xar file to give other users an idea how to use gradients to achieve photo-realistic look. Glad it helped
I also suggest you to watch videos from http://iconka.com/articles/
Regards, Dmitry.

Thank You for the clarification Dmitry
