It's quite nice, I can't get it to run in Photoshop at the moment, so I suspect it doesn't like the 64x space of Windows 7. And what it do was map a bitmap image around a cube, sphere, or cylinder, which are the primitives most used to map 2D images to 3D space.
#XENOFEX 2 DISTRESS SOFTWARE#
There is, or was, a true 3D filter created by Andromeda Software a long time ago called.3D.
#XENOFEX 2 DISTRESS HOW TO#
Please wait until next month when I show how to use this free filter to create flags and other materials, deal? The only links are to Eye Candy, and that's $249 retail.

It was concerning Art, I'm all about supporting Art, if anyone wants their money back, write to me.įrank, although it's illuminating to our community that Alien Skin has a Flag filter, why would you suggest that people reach down deep into their pockets when ImageSkill provides a perfectly working version for Xara for free? I don't even see Xenofex 2 for sale on Alien Skin or on the web period. Yes, we're getting far too far into Off-topicLand, and I confess that I encouraged Germaine's original post instead of discouraging it on this thread. I'm the Other, Other Gary, just for clarification.
His avatar has been an iris for the best part of this year. I believe the name "gare-eye" has already been take by the Other Gary, Gary Priester. Looking forward to next month when you cover this particular subject, if you are still planning to do frank. Basically, I think they could only come up with some sort of distortion filter similar to alien skin, which already exists, in which case, why create bloatware. If the man can convince the Xara team to include this, this could be good, It would be great to be able to wrap a texture around an image of something 3d-ish, like putting your face on somebody elses body, but how they would every accomplish this in a 2d program, I don't think they could. For those of you who don't, take off your shoes, remove your sock, and dig out a few of those old moldy dollars you've been saving there and give yourself a small present.Īnd now back to Gar-eye. Anyway, for those that have the plug-in and want to experiment with it, you have about 6 or 8 pre-set setting from the menu bar upstairs (hanging from the left, top, right, windy, etc) and three slider adjustments for shrink (?), wind, and brightness.įor those of you that have these plug-ins, great. Mind you, this memory is very, very foggy, so I may be totally mistaking what I'm talking about, it might even not have been about the alien skin plug-ins, but I think it was. They had to be a certain size (quite small I believe), saved as TIFF, and saved to the correct folder for the right plug-in. A few years ago on this forum, if the brain remembers correctly, there was a thread about installing your own image maps. Remember folks, only from Xara.Īnd while off topic, I will continue. And if this peaks an interest for possible buyers, you can also do chrome, (copper, gold), glass, lightning, etc, etc, etc., and the plug-ins are very reasonable priced. Now, in the Xenofex2 set, there is one distortion filter that does the waving flag, under the name, surprise, surprise of flag. You can buy two sets of Alien Skin plug-ins from Xara, and both sets have a large selection in them.
Well, I know this thread is way off topic now and Gar-eye is trying to get it back, but while it's here, I'll add my two bits worth.
