    Default looking for a glass cube text tutorial

    Can anyone point me toward a tutorial which shows how to produce a 3d glass-block or ice-cube effect to text using just Xara Extreme?
    I think I remember one being done but can't seem to locate it
    I'm thinking it may have been either Gary or Remi who did it?

    Hey Paul

    If I am not mistaken, what you may be thinking about was a thread in the forum a year or two ago. I do remember gary posting a sample, one of many by a very talented gang. Actually I even tried one myself, melted before I could post it...........frank

    Bingo......the one I was thinking of was ice cube challange by AndFarr

    Hi geminiguy,

    do you mean the "Not so realistic glass" thread? (But my approach in this thread was, to use a 3D graphics editor.)

    There were also other interesting threads with glass or ice-cube effects:


    Regards,

    Thanks guys... what I'm actually trying to accomplish is this... but using only xara extreme (or LX as I use)
    I remember a feature I had when I had the PRO trial but does not exist in the basic. I'm sure I can get it "eventually" but it's gonna take A LOT of work
    I will look over a couple of those Remi, thanks. I new about the ice cube challenge but, I think the "not so glass" one is more the one I remember.

    This will be a challenge and 1/2 for me and I will prob end up going with a 3d app but I at least want to give it a fair try first (because I'm a glutton for punishment)

    What is the editor you used for this effect?

    I've used Carrara Studio Pro, but I'm sure you can use each and every 3D graphics software, in order to render such a text.
