Hello gnurf,

I like this image very much.
In fact it started a fire in me to try to make it in XDP7
Hope you're not offended by me putting my picture in your thread.
So here's mine,not as detailed as yours,but I hope you like it

Here are the outlines and a larger version of my take on it

Don't mind at all! I think you got a very nice soft denim design here. If the round part is meant to be a flap then it OK, but if it is a pocket then I think your shadow is a bit off. I especially like the button, and the small tag gives that small extra touch.

OK, here comes a minitutorial on how to create your own Xara Denim in ten easy steps. But before you start, a word of warning: Save often! There's a bug in latest Xara Designer that makes Fractal plasma fill crash Xara totally. When you resize and play around with Fractal plasma, make sure you drag the handles (if you miss a handle when for example rotating, you'll crash XD). Or use Fractal clouds instead, which works fine.

Hi Gnurf, Im unable to cause the crash to occur when playing around with the fractal Plasma. Do you have a xar file saved where we could simply alter the rotation of the fractal Plasma in order to cause the crash to occur? Also does it only occur at a particular zoom value?

Thanks

Thanks for that mini-tutorial Paul.

The crash always occur when I resize the fractal plasma while NOT dragging the handles, no matter what file or zoom value. I have not had the time to test it on Win 7, only Win Vista 64-bit. See my video screen grab here where I compare the OK fractal clouds vs. the crashing fractal plasma: http://www.screenr.com/Df3s
