    Microsoft even got convicted of antitrust, and should have been broken up... When your wallet is deep enough you can keep things in litigation until you still wipe out you competitors unfairly http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

    Yes that helped a lot! I thought I was going crazy because I couldn't get the tutorial to work (even with pictures).
    This is a great forum. I don't think I would have had as much success with the product without everyones help

    Does that help anyone?!

    Thumbs up Re: Noob - Achieve the coin affect

    Hi Soquili (aka Bill),

    I saw your message with the mini-Tutorial to make a Coin, is it included with the other Tutorials for Download?

    (Loved ALL the coins! And, the Animated one: Wow!)

    Hi Tom,

    If you are asking if my mini-tutorial is on the XaraXone, the answer is no. There is a link within the post to a zip file that contains all except the text of my post you refer to.

    There are many mini-tutorials (pun intended ) that have been posted to the various forums here at Talkgraphics over the years. I don't recall that anyone has collected them and made them available in one location for download.

    Hi BroncoFanCam,

    Welcome to the forum.

    Very smooth transition between the shapes and the use of the textures is well done. Maybe a little moving of the lights so there is less flare (white out) as the shapes face the #1 light. I usually move the light up to reduce the flare. Move it around to see how it works and find where you want it to achieve the look you are after.

    Excellent. The animation is very smooth and no flare. The lighting looks very good through out the entire sequence of frames.
