October 2007 Xara Xone Tutorial - A Bat

This is like those interactive videos that have a variety of endings for you to select from. Here is Mr. Bat looking very frightening. The background is a 6-color Circular fill. Deep blue to medium deep blue, to lighter blue, to pale blue to very pale blue. There are two pale blue and medium blue colors close to each other so that the moon is a soft shape.

Ending #2. I made a bitmap copy of the last image, applied a Circular, Stained Glass transparency with the center of the transparency over the bat's head. I switched the start and end transparency values so the center is 100% transparent and the outside is 0%.

And here is my favorite (after all that work we did with the colors!).

I made a bitmap copy of the bat and wings. I added a pale blue fill which made a darker blue image. The bitmap was cloned and a Stained Glass, Circular transparency applied with the center 100% transparent and the outside 0%. The vector eyes were placed in front.

Stick me with a fork. I think I am done!
