Hello Friends,
Time for another Tutorial!
We are going to teach you how use the Bevel Tool of Xara Xtreme 5.0. Don’t belittle this tool as it can transform a simple object into a professional-looking work of art.
At the end of this article, we will show some images made possible by the power of Bevel Tool.
To start off, create your desired object it could be anything, you can choose from the Tools menu located on the left-hand side of the Xara Xtreme’s work area. (Text, Shape, Free-hand, etc) Once you’re done, click on the Bevel Tool from the tool menu on the side, then from the drop-down menu on top, click on the arrow to see all types of bevel, choose your desired type.
Apart from the Drop-down menu, you may also adjust the bevel depth, contrast, light angle and light elevation. For example, to adjust the contrast of the bevel, make sure it is set to “Contrast” and then toggle from slider or enter your desired percentage.
IMAGE You can control the bevel depth and the light angle in two ways apart from doing it manually, you may also use the red arrows by dragging them to your preferred depth and the black arrows to the direction where you want the sun light to create an effect on the object.
There are also other tools on the Bevel Menu, like the buttons for creating an effect to your bevel to appear outside or inside the object. You may also change the color of the bevel by selecting the bevel and choose your desired color from the color palette located on the bottom of the Xara Xtreme’s work area.
Another tool allows the shape of your bevels to be either mitered, round or beveled.
The examples used above are for demonstration purposes only, thus, I am encouraging you to create a better and artistic outputs from this bevel tutorial.
