will it bother that im working with Jpeg images rather than bitmap?

and im still having major problems making the texture of the text(head image in this case) fit the head correctly, im getting big white areas or mis fit of picture??? how can i correct this???

I showed you, cut out the helmet and face and place a blue square behind it.
So don`t use the whole picture jpeg (which is a bitmap btw, so no problems.
there )

yeah I didn`t it all at once.
You have to resize the bitmap in Xtreme(or another program of choice)
That is a bit trial and error. also you can make a bit wider by putting a bigger white square in the background.

Daniel, welcome.

Unfortunately im the sort of person who leans through being shown and then being supervised whilst i try... not the sort who can learn from a book...

You've made huge strides and I hope you've found the experience rewarding. What you're creating is now your work and you're understanding how it's created, not just something someones created for you.

Members on this Forum will willingly assist you all the way in helping you master the program and get satisfaction from doing so. It's far more rewarding than just creating a spinning logo for you.

Please keep your questions coming!

Wahooo!
Ive done it!!!!!

Err now how do i get it out of Xara correctly, ive tried and i don't think it worked correctly, ill attach them below to see....


No didn't think so its not bringing the background out with it???

you may have the transparent option ticked in the export dialog box

separate issue: also it looks like you have shadow enabled in the program - if so, it might look better generally with that unticked?

Well done!

Thanks...
Lest see what happens now....

Wow, did i d that

Thanks for all your help guys.. no doubt i'll be calling on your expertise again in the future..

Very well done, you saved face here.


And now you never have to ask again, you can do it yourself.
Give a man a fish and he has one meal, give him a fishingrod and he
can eat every day.

And here a small tut if you want to resize the gif in Xtreme

Nice job ankhor. Is that using ss-kalm's method with Xara 3D v6? I didn't know you could put bitmaps into that program. (if that's what you did).
