Creating 3D Objects in Xara PhotoGraphics Designer Pro
Xara Photographics Designer can create and manipulate 3D
Graphics very easily with just a few mouse clicks. To start 3D
Graphics in Xara, you have to first create any object using the
Rectangle icon on the left draw a Square or a star or a circle.
Now in the user interface of Xara PhotoGraphics Designer
Software, look for an icon looking like a Square frame on the
left side of the interface and click on it. This opens a set of
four icons out of which the right most icon will be
3D. Click on the 3D icon and
cursor will change into a cross hair with a cube next to it.
Click on the Square or Circle or any shape that you have drawn
on the page and move the mouse with the left mouse button kept
pressed. If you have clicked on the edge of the shape then the
cursor will change to a diagonal double head arrow and the shape
will vary its depth and if you have clicked the face of the
shape and moved the mouse with the left mouse button pressed
then the mouse cursor will change to a plus sign with four arrow
heads and the shape will instantly become a 3D object and start
moving in all three direction depending on your mouse movement.
For finer control you need to use the drop down menu on top left
of Xara PhotoGraphics Designer Software for 3D, which will have
the 3D icon and 'Extrude depth' written next to it. You can
click on the small down arrow next to the 'Extrude Depth' to use
other options like Object Angle 1,2 and 3, then the
'Perspective' which allows you to change the perspective of your
Xara Photographics 3D object to vary according to your
requirement. The last six items in the drop down menu are three
sets of Light Angle pairs, using which you can rotate and
position the three lights to make sure that your 3D object is
lighted up to your liking and gives a beautiful glossy look.
