This time, we explore how to apply realistic color schemes and simulate lighting when working with more complex shapes. If you haven't yet absorbed part one, now may be a good time. The settings you'll need to have selected—and the techniques covered in those preceding step sequences—lay the groundwork for the tutorials that follow.

Accelerate SVG application development with Corel® Smart Graphics Studio

Web Seminar
Wednesday, July 30, 2003
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. EDT

You've read in previous issues about the dramatic difference Corel Smart Graphics Studio can bring to the development of Smart Vector Graphics (SVGs). Now's your chance to hear from Corel experts how to exploit that difference to your fullest advantage.

Join Rob Williamson, Corel Product Manager, New Ventures, for a Web seminar on July 30. In an information-packed hour, he'll describe how to:
  • rapidly and precisely design or enhance complex illustrations, diagrams and schematics;
  • produce data-driven SVG applications with graphical manipulation tools that automate code generation;
  • turn data into XML-based interfaces with reusable XSLT templates; and
  • boost efficiency by using pre-built UI objects.
Reliable, easy to update, and based on open standards, Corel Smart Graphics Studio gives you the power to connect data, logic and graphics using XML standards. Create client- and server-side relationships between objects and data, and build runtime deployment of your applications in a simple drag-and-drop environment.

In the end, Corel Smart Graphics Studio enables true extensibility and interoperability, allowing you to build cutting-edge graphical applications in a fraction of the time it takes to hand-code.

Another great reason to register
Seminar attendees qualify automatically to win a free copy Corel Smart Graphics Studio, valued at US$1,199. One lucky person will win—it could be you!
