Common techniques
This section includes some of the more common techniques you will
perform using CG Infinity. Many of these lessons assume you are starting
with a new edit window in CG Infinity.
Drawing regular shapes
The quickest way to get started in CG Infinity is to begin creating simple
shapes. While simple in design, you can easily create impressive results by
combining shapes and changing their styles to produce different colors
and effects.
To draw a logo using regular shapes:
1.
Click the Shape tool and select or deselect the following buttons on
the Attribute toolbar:
• Rectangle (select)
• Draw From Center (deselect)
• Equal Sides (deselect)
2.
In Preview mode, draw a rectangular path within the frame of the edit
window and in the Object Style Panel, set the fill color to blue with no
line color or shadow.
3.
Switch to the Ellipse option on the Attribute toolbar and create a long
elliptical path.
4.
Using the Object tool, position the new path so that its middle starts at
the bottom left corner of the rectangular path and, if necessary, resize
it so that it is wide enough to go over to the right side of the rectangu-
lar path. (Set the fill color to white with no line color or shadow.)
5.
Switch back to the Ellipse tool and click the 1:1 button on the At-
tribute toolbar and create a small circle path at the lower right corner
of the rectangular path.
