Tutorial
In this month’s tutorial, Gary Bouton shows you how to use Xara’s Live Effects and other tools together to shape light and texture into eye-popping, 3D geometry. You can use these new skills to illustrate other compelling 3D shapes or just some great looking Dungeons & Dragons dice.
Go to the Xara Xone Forum on TalkGraphics to talk about this tutorial
Let’s discuss the tutorial. Bop on over to The Xara Xone forum on TalkGraphics, and do some lighthearted Q&A:
Tut Talk on Xara Xone Forum on TalkGraphics
Gary David Bouton has been drawing with traditional tools for almost 40 years, and with digital tools such as Xara for close to 20. As large a fan as he is a practitioner, Gary encourages others to express themselves artistically through his writing, the over 25 books on graphics he’s had published, and now through The Xara Xone. You can send him some email, visit his personal website, or better yet drop on over to the Xara Xone Forum on TalkGraphics and talk to Gary and the rest of the Xara community.
