Albeit i'll admit i've been 'learning' how to make images like that for several years now. About the most work i actually do is to study real world objects like those and figure out what makes them look the way they do. Patrick i do nothing special in creating those types of images. ( i'll explain reflections a little at the bottom of the post) the 'special' characteristic i'm speaking of is reflections and surface imperfections/details. Most of these images/effects are not real complex. Ok be my guest ron, give 'em a study and see what you can do. Or you can also checkout the Xara forum. If anyone has any questions or whatnot about Xara Xtreme feel free to ask away in the Vector Apps board. I'm finding this to be a very nice feature. Very much like PS's Blend Options does even after the document has been saved and closed. it will allow you to at any time change the effects you apply. One of the coolest new features added to the Xtreme version is the ability to use PS compatible plugs and filters ( after converting your vector shape(s) to Bitmap Copies). Let it "do it's thing", i think you'll enjoy it more.
XARA 3D 6 FOR MAC DOWNLOAD
One of the main reasons Xara make 'the call" is to check for updates and see also if there are any new resources for you to download - like all of the tutorial movies that are avaliable for it. but i think you'll find that if you let Xara "phone home" it'll go get textures, fonts, brushes, photos, web design elements, etc for you. I can understand not being happy about there not being a load of textures in there to play with, at first. Xara Xtreme is actually a very nice program. I've been using Xara since version 2 and love it. I just so happen to be a bit of an 'expert' at Xara programs myself. not only do you help me considerably with your PS knowledge, now you're helping me with my tools. I bought 5 for 10 bucks at a local computer store (the price of a Taco Bell run). For my needs, Xara 3D 6 has nothing new to offer, so Ver.5 will do. As an illustrator, it will provide a powerful tool to help create visuals that my competition can't. I'm excited about the possibilities here. But it serves it's purpose as an example. If this sample was anything but a sample I would have worked with the angle a bit in Xara, it's not the best. png the halo goes away (I'm open to suggestions as to how to eliminate that step). This still leaves a halo around the image, so if you save it as a. copy to a new canvas with transp bg and delete the white bg. jpg, then opened in PS( I resampled it to 100 from 72). It was done on a white BG and saved as a.
The figure 8 was done in Xara using a texture from PS. Here's a sample of using a Xara element with Photoshop. So thanks to the author of the Xara post ( I think it was Welles). Using fonts in Xara, applying some homegrown textures along with the inherent 3d capabilities of Xara 3D will be a great source of elements for the type of work I do in Photoshop. Now, as you may know, a great source for shapes can be found using fonts.
That the image can be fully manipulated using keyboard commands and that you can create textures in other apps like Bryce, ZBrush and PS and place the jpegs into Xara's texture folder and use them as applicable textures. What I didn't know was that I could export quite a few file formats usable in PS, not just animated gifs.
Then I recalled purchasing 5 last year just for fun but never installing it. Xara 3d 6 however was really quite a surprise.
XARA 3D 6 FOR MAC FULL
I really don't like demos that don't offer the full app. The demo is sans textures and a few other things and seems to have the need to contact home for everything.
XARA 3D 6 FOR MAC TRIAL
I was doubtful but still curious so I downloaded a trial of Xara Xtreme and Xara 3d 6. Not too long ago, I read a post exclaiming the virtues of some Xara apps.
