Creating a 3D heading is easy:
1.Start typing to enter the text you want. You can delete existing text using backspace.
o Typically the first step is to enter your own text which you can do by just deleting the default text with the regular Delete key and typing your own. You can position the image in three dimensions by simply dragging it on screen (as long as you don't have a background texture, in which case use the scroll bars).
2.Select a font of your choice from the drop-down list in the text toolbar.
o You will likely also want to customize it, which you can do by clicking any of the option bars on the right hand side of the window (the buttons on the options toolbar also open these). Any changes you make are reflected instantly on the image, making it easy and fun to experiment.
3.Change the bevel and extrude if you wish.
o Dragging on the graphic itself can change the extrude or bevel. You can also add a shadow and drag it to the required position, and
4.Drag the text to get the angle you want.
5.Change the color of the text or background.
6.Resize the Xara3D window to set the size of the text.
7.Select Export on the file menu to save the heading as a BMP, PNG, GIF, JPEG, Flash SWF, ICO (icon) or CUR (cursor).
Want an animated heading?
Creating animations
is just as easy. The animation options offer a wide range of different animation types from simple rotation of the image to multi-page animations with alternating animation types per character.
Want to change the lighting angles or colors?
Simple. Click the light bulb button
. This displays the three lights that color the text (and a special striped light that creates the shadow). Drag the lights to change the angles or double-click on a light to display the color picker.
Want to copy styles from an existing heading?
And if you don't want to create your own headings you can simply copy one
that's already been created by using the design picker (under design options) to copy some or all of the attributes of an existing file to the current heading, or use the animation picker to copy animation settings.
Want to open one of the hundreds of samples that come with Xara 3D Maker?
Choose Open Sample from the File
menu and choose from the huge selection of .x3d files arranged into folders depending on their design. A
Page 13
preview is displayed as you click on each file, so you can see the image before you open it.
Want to import your own 2D graphic?
You can import
Windows metafiles (EMF or WMF) or Xara XAR/WEB files. Then you can convert them to extruded 3D graphics.
When you're happy with the results, you can export either a static image or an animation or movie in any of the most popular file formats. You can even create an animated screensaver either for use on your own computer or for distribution to other people.
Want to copy your 3D image into another application?
No problem, just copy your design (choose Copy from the Edit
menu or press "Ctrl + C") and it's placed on your clipboard in 24bpp bitmap form, as well as in XAR format. This means that you can paste it into any other application that handles bitmaps, such as Microsoft Word or Outlook, or graphics programs, as well as other Xara products such as Xara Designer Pro and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer. The XAR format supports a bitmap with a transparent background, while the 24bpp bitmap has a solid background.

Alternatively click Open Sample on the File
menu to open one of the hundreds of sample files that come with Xara 3D Maker. A preview of the image is displayed so you can see what it looks like before you open it.
Page 18
Change the text
The easiest way of changing the text is to delete the existing text (using Backspace) and then typing in the wording you want.
You can also display the text cursor. Select the show/hide cursor button on the standard toolbar.
You can then use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor in the text and to select part of the text ? for more information on this, see select characters
.
To change the font or apply effects such as increasing the space between characters, you can use the options in the text toolbar
.
Alternatively you can use the Text options dialog box
to select and change text and apply effects. This is often easier when you have several lines of text such as in multi-page animations.
Page 19
Rotate and position the graphic
The easiest way to rotate the graphic is simply to drag on it in the Xara 3D Maker window or drag on the background if you don't have a background texture (don't drag on the shadow ? this moves the shadow). This lets you rotate the graphic horizontally, vertically or around its center line. Alternatively, use the scroll bars.
Status bar
The Status bar shows the current angles (horizontal, vertical and rotation around the center line).
Positioning options
Normally the graphic is centered in the window. You can move the graphic to your preferred location using View options
and changing the X and Y position values. Alternatively you can use these keyboard shortcuts:
Alt-drag allows you to move the graphic freely around the screen. To return the graphic to the center of the window press "Alt+Home" (this also cancels any rotation.)
"Ctrl + Alt-drag" allows you to move the graphic horizontally on the x axis. "Alt + Shift-drag" allows you to move the graphic vertically on the y axis.
Rotate options
You can rotate your graphic by using the keyboard shortcuts below. Alternatively you can use View options
to rotate your graphic horizontally, vertically and around its center line by precise increments in degrees. To rotate around the horizontal (x) axis only:
"Shift-drag" on the window
or use the up/down arrow keys (1s rotation)
or use "Ctrl" and the up/down arrow keys (15s rotation) To rotate around the vertical (y) axis only:
"Ctrl-drag" on the window
or use the left/right arrow keys (1s rotation)
or use "Ctrl" and the left/right arrow keys (15s rotation) To rotate the graphic around its center line
"Ctrl + Shift-drag" on the window
or use "Shift" and the up/down arrow keys (1s rotation)
or use "Shift + Ctrl" and the up/down arrow keys (15s rotation) To cancel any rotation: (graphic is face-on) press "Alt + Home"
Note:

Light the graphic
Three colored lights create the highlights and shadows on the graphic. You can change the positions and colors of each light. The fourth light (shown striped) controls the position of the shadow ? see shadows
.
Shadow

Light
Light
To display the lights:
Click the 'light bulb' button
or choose Display lighting on the View menu To change the color of a light, display the color options dialog box by:
Double-clicking on the light
or choosing Light color 1, 2, 3 on the View menu.
To move a light just drag it. To move a light from in front of the object to behind it (or from behind to in front) keep dragging the light left or right.
Page 25
Color the graphic
You can color the graphic either by changing the colors of the graphic or by changing the light colors or both.
If you are creating a graphic and you want two or more colors on the text, it is easier to use pale colored lights and to color the text. (The default text of Xara 3D Maker is an example of this: the X3D is pale gray, Version is light blue and version number is dark blue. The light shining on the face of the text is an orange cream color.)
The colors you see depend on the overlap of the lights, their colors and the graphic colors. The colors are also influenced by whether the graphic has a matt or gloss surface (selected in extrusion options ).
The graphic can have different colors on the faces (front and back) and on the sides. You can change the color or texture on a per-character basis. See color options
.
An example of an incut bevel with white face color and dark gray sides and bevel
Bevels display the color of the sides. Using square, round or triangular-faced or incut bevels can give the effect of two colors on the face of the graphic.
You can also use textures to color the sides or faces. You can import any BMP. GIF, ICO, JPEG or PNG file as a texture. Texture options let you scale, move or rotate the texture. Color options
let you tint a texture (an effect similar to placing a colored film over the texture).
Page 26
Resize the graphic
The easiest way to resize larger graphics is to resize the Xara 3D Maker window by dragging the corners or sides.
For smaller graphics this can make the Xara 3D Maker window too small and you cannot see all the buttons. To avoid this, choose Display frame on the Window menu or click the display frame button ( Standard Tool Bar
). This displays the graphic in a smaller frame which you can resize independently of the main Xara 3D Maker window.
Display frame
The frame
An advantage of the frame is that you can set it to a specific size. Use Frame size on the Window menu. When you save an X3D file when using the frame, Xara 3D Maker remembers the frame size and always opens the graphic at that size.
To make the exported image the same size as the frame area, select Current window size and uncheck Crop in the Export dialog box
.
Alternatively you can fix the graphic size using the font size drop-down list on the text toolbar. Choose any value except Fit to width
.
Page 27
Add bevels & extrude
The bevel is the decorative transition between the faces and the sides of the graphic. The extrude is the depth of the sides.
The bevel
The extrude
Bevel designs range from a simple angled or rounded bevel on the corner to complex rippled bevels that run the length of the sides. Bevels are always applied to the sides of the graphic, not to the faces. The result is to make the graphic larger and, with larger bevel sizes, text characters can merge into each other. This also has an effect when the faces and sides are different colors ? the bevel takes the side color. To alter the bevel, hover you mouse over the edge of the text while holding the shift key.
When the cursor changes to the bevel tool you can click and drag the bevel to the required size.
Bevel options
let you have more advanced control, like choosing a bevel style. For small extrude values there may not be enough space to display the complete bevel (depending on the bevel design.)
To change the extrude depth, just click and drag on the side of the text. You will see the cursor appear when altering the extrude.
Extrude options
gives you more advanced control over the extrusion, and whether the graphic is matt or gloss. You can also choose the surface, either Gloss (reflective) or Matt
(non-reflective.) The surface affects the entire "feel" of the graphic. Gloss (shown below top) creates shiny, metallic effects; matt (shown below bottom) more subtle, toned-down graphics. When swapping between the two surfaces, you often need to move the lights to get the best results for that surface.
Page 28
Page 29
Select characters
Almost all Xara 3D Maker attributes (such as colors, bevels, textures, animation types) can be applied character-by-character. (The exceptions are the shadow, the lighting and some animation types.) Before you can apply an attribute to a character or block of characters, you must first select that character or block.
First step is to display the text cursor. Click the show/hide cursor button on the standard toolbar:
Then:
Use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the cursor.
"Shift + left/right arrow keys" selects the character on the left or right.
"Ctrl + Shift + left/right arrow keys" selects all the characters from the cursor to the left or right of the line.
"Ctrl + A" selects all characters.
"Ctrl + P" selects all characters on the current page (for multi-page animations.)
When you have a selected character or block, any changes you make apply only to that character or block.
