My hard work in my rose garden diminishes. Thus I will be able to come back to the forums.
I apologize for the brushes I didn't put on the Swap Shop as propised some weeks ago and I will try to do that next days.
Here is a mini tutorial which explain how to combine "feathering profiles" and "joining shapes" to create blobby shapes which join progressively like "metaballs" in 3D programs. As shown in the picture in my second post, these shapes can support many different textures, gel, wax, liquid metal and others.
What is interesting, and this is something I have been thinking about for some time, is this technique, and many others enhanced and invented in this conference are very similar to creating the same effects in Photoshop, but without all the negative masking and stuff. I suppose once one learns how to do these effects in Photoshop it is a fairly similar process. It just seems so much easier to do in Xara :-)
