Xara Xone Pool Ball step-by-step tutorial

Create and center a new, solid white, 180 pixel circle over the #1 ball as shown on the left. With the white circle selected, select Convert to Editable Shapes from the Arrange menu. Switch to the Shape Editor Tool. Four control points will appear. Select the bottom center control point and drag it straight upwards to about the center of the circle as shown. (The blue dashed line represents the circle's outline before the modification was made).

Select the modified white circular shape with the Transparency Tool. From the drop down list of Transparency Shapes on the Infobar, select Linear. Drag the ends of the fill path arrow until the non-transparent end faces up and the transparent end faces down. Drag the bottom end of the fill path arrow lower than the white shape so the entire shape is visible. This creates a highlight and gives the ball a glossy, highly polished appearance.

Duplicate the highlight and place it over the 9 ball.

Save your work and take a short break.
