![]() You will need to either duplicate these shapes in your vector graphics editor. This is an illustration of each vector shape according to size and position relative to each other. Well give these 3 shapes a large round bevel to fatten them up into cylinders in Xara 3D Maker 7. Three of the vector shapes look like thin lines and nothing like the round cylinder shapes as they will be in 3D. Shown above top are the basic vector shapes created in Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 (or similar software application) and below the simple shapes are the results of extruding these shapes in Xara 3D with the wood texture added along with the bevel styles. If you do not already have Xara 3D Maker 7 you can download a free 30 day trial copy here. And you will need a copy of Xara 3D Maker 7. You will need a vector drawing program, Xara Xtreme, Xara Designer or Xara Photo and Graphics Designer will work fine as will previous versions of Xara such as Xara X, etc. In this tutorial, we will turn some very simple vector shapes into this toy train. But what’s not so well known is with a small bit of effort and imagination, you can create some pretty interesting and complex objects, such as the wooden toy train shown below, which as it so happens is the subject of this Guest Tutorial.
