March 2006 Xara Xtreme Tutorial

Find the copy of the 4 triangles you set aside earlier in the tutorial.

Select the yellow triangle. Select the new Live Effects Tool (Ctrl F5). Click New and scroll down to the Eye Candy 4000 Demo or the Eye Candy 4000 series if you have purchased all of the effects, and select Chrome.

NOTE: Chrome is one of the free filters included with Xara Xtreme. There are lots of really cool filter effects in this and the other series. If you want to acquire the entire set, or see examples of all the filter sets, click here.

Select Blue Sky from the Reflection Map drop down list. Move the Bevel Width slider to 80% and press OK to apply this effect. The chrome effect will be applied and should look like the example above.

Apply the other reflection maps shown above to the other 3 triangles and set the Bevel Width slider setting to 80% for each one.

These effects are called "Live Effects" because you can go back and edit any effect. Even after the document has been saved. In addition you can add more than one effect per selection. And you can go back and edit any or all effects which is what we must do here because I forgot to have you edit the Bevel Type.

Select any of the triangles with the Live Effects Tool (Ctrl F5). Click the Edit button on the Infobar and go to the Bevel Profile tabbed section. From the list select Flat . Repeat this editing step for the other 3 triangles.

Save your drawing and take a short break.
