Re: Battle Tank
This is just a very simple tutorial to supplement my last post in this thread. It is designed to illustrate the text-based roots of Xara3D, to show why things like carriage returns, line spacing and tracking are relevant in it.
The tutorial is based on the monogram that appears on JRR Tolkien's Lord of The Rings books. I have always liked it, and it occurred to me that it would serve the purpose of the tutorial very well.
The end result isn't exact, I don't have the right fonts, but that wasn't really the point of the exercise, and I also wanted to avoid using another app like Xara Xtreme to create more accurate shapes, but to do the whole thing entirely within Xara3D.

PS Oops, I forgot to mention that you need to pause the animation on frame 2 as soon as it is running.
