Fireworks MX 2004 Draws a three-dimensional surround sphere

Stereo

We do a three-dimensional surround sphere effect, and enjoy the new features of the fast fill image gradients that are brought in by version 2004. As shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1

First, use the Circle tool to draw a circle and lock the current layer. Then create a new layer, draw an ellipse, copy the ellipse, select the Digital Transform command (Numeric Transform) Under the Modify menu, and the warp number is 80%, which is the size of the ellipse 80% smaller than the original size. As shown in Figure 2

Figure 2

Select the two ellipses, select the Punch command (Punch) in the Modify menu, and the two ellipses are merged together to form an elliptical ring, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3

Draw an ellipse below, but the position is special, covering half of the ellipse ring, as shown in Figure 4, and adjusting the nodes of the ellipse so that they are selected and punched along the edges of the bottom circle.

Figure 4

The basic shapes of the graphs come out and we fill them with gradient colors. Select the circle of the bottom chart, find the gradient fill in the property panel, and the gradient is circular, as shown in Figure 4-5. Select two tones and add them to the circle.

Figure 5

Also adds a gradient effect to the ring, with the gradient being diagonal, and the direction of the two graphics shades to be the same. Finally, add the shadow effect and get the final figure of fig. 1.
