If you had to choose just one graphics tool to get this would be the one. For text control this is the king. There is no limit to what you can do with this amazing text tool. All you need is a font and this program does the rest. You control 3D lettering, beveling, texturing, shading, sculpting, lighting animation and the list goes on.
I have assembled a list of examples I've used on the magazine over the years as proof of just how valuable I've found this treasure. Below you will find pages of the magazine where the main title text has been created using Xara 3D:
Letter From The Publisher heading
Rotating Free Wallpaper Heading
Spring 2000 heading, Check mark link buttons and send mail animation at bottom of page
Thomas Leary and musical note animations at top of page
Tittle Text and Free MP3 text inside button
