Xara Xone Pool Ball step-by-step tutorial

Add a green rectangle (RGB 0, 102, 0) behind the balls and rack. Select the balls and the rack (the triangular shape that holds the balls in position) by dragging a selection rectangle around them with the Selector Tool (this is called marquee selection). Click once again to enable rotate skew mode and rotate the selection about 15 degrees counter clockwise as shown above.

Select just the grouped balls then select the Shadow Tool. Add a Wall Shadow by pressing the Wall Shadow icon on the Infobar.

Find the duplicate solid triangular shape that we created in the earlier part of the tutorial and center it over the rack and balls. Change the fill color to a dark green (RGB 0, 51, 0). Apply a Wall Shadow. With the dark green shape and shadow selected, press Shift Ctrl b several times until the shape is under the balls and rack but on top of the green background rectangle.

Using the duplicate 1 and 9 balls that we created earlier, copy the fill from the white portion of the 9 ball and paste attributes to the orange portion of the 1 ball. Delete the white circle and the number from the #1 ball to create the cue ball (the white ball). (You can delete the #9 ball). Apply a Wall Shadow to the cue ball.

Make a small square approximately 30 x 30 pixels. Press the Curved Corners icon on the Infobar (the arc icon) to round the corners. Apply a solid fill using the RGB color shown above. Add a circle in the center and apply a Circular fill. Make the two colors the same as the blue. Open the Color Editor, select HSV Color Model from the drop down list, and make the outside color a little darker and make the center color a lot darker by dragging the cross hair in the colored preview window. Rotate the square and circle about 15 degrees clockwise, group the two objects, and add a wall shadow. (The blue thing is chalk which is applied to the tip of the pool cue).
