i/us -- The April 98 Salon Page 2


Open Xara 3D 2. The screen shot shown here reveals some of the improvements. The button (a.) is the new Export Bitmap which, as the name implies, permits you so export your 3D image in Gif, JPEG, BMP and PNG format with Alpha channel. Figure b. is the drop-down Font list. Figure c. shows the Font Size drop-down list, including Fit To Width, shown here. You can now specify font size which is very helpful. Figure d. calls out the Align settings, which are useful because Xara 3D 2 can now handle multiple lines of text.

From the File menu select Open. From the Xara 3D 2 Samples folder select Orange Front Bulge (shown on the screen) and click Open. There are several dozen preset samples which are a great place to start. Or if you're feeling unimaginative, just change the letters. All the hard work's already done.
