Countdown for (Animated) Success

This month we continue our new user tutorials and once again, we'll have a two-part tutorial so there will be something for everyone. The intermediate tutorial begins on Page 5.

The easiest way to create cool animations is with Xara 3D 3. But we're not here to do things the easy way, we're here to learn, right? Right? Hel—lo–oh?

For our new user tutorial, we'll create a simple version of the count down shown here.  For the advanced tutorial, we'll create the animation shown here that was inspired by the film leaders that precede a film.

So roll up your sleeves, put on your animation hats, settle in and let's get started.

Special thanks to Allison Moore for tech editing this tutorial and preventing me from becoming comma-tose.

Did you know that Xara 3D 3.04 can now import Xara 2 XAR and Webster 2 WEB files? Well it can! CLICK HERE to learn more or to upgrade your current version!
