Egg, that's why i posted the .xar, it's all in there ;)
Stupid me, I didn't see the xar attachment :rolleyes:
Gary: Your 'distressed G' looked familiar to me so I had a quick search round out of curiosity.
I couldn't find a specific tutorial for it either, but found this image/effect in a few TG threads from Feb 2002 ... Which I think was just after the original glazed/crackled effect tutorial you did in the XXone.

A quick attempt at distressed text. Three different ways.

I am a lazy person! Why not use a distressed font there are now just a bout a thousand out there now?
Oh my god! If you would not be a mod, they already would have killed you.
to tell this in a forum where people just reinvent everything, that is already inventeted for thousands of years, but not done yet in Xara.
use a font - huh! what kind of horseplay is that?
it must be done with nearly 25 steps, each one very difficult and tricky, overusing hard- and software every minute.
and - most important thing - it must convince everybody's wife, that five additonally hours in front of the PC are abolutely unavoidable. as a minimum - and right now!
The question was, how to make a "vector shape" distressed, with a font as an example of the sort of effect. Using a distressed font is fine if its text you are looking to distress.
Also its not unreasonable for people to discuss how to do it in Xtreme given that this is the Xtreme forum and thats what most people coming here are interested in reading and learning about.
