Isn't it wonderful when you get something working for the first time.

Nostalgia sets in....
In the late 80's I had an amstrad pc, green screen, running dos 3.3, an 8 MHz (not a typo) CPU and of course no maths chip.

Then it was POV-ray to make your first billiard ball, literally took hours to render a simple sphere. Common beginners mistake was to forget to include a light source and many hours later you would have a totally black image. Good fun.

Good job akky!
Vector is great fun to work with, and Inkscape makes it so easy.

You did better on your first try than I did. you got that from a tutor4u tut, he's really good. the only problem is his mistake, not yours. The 8 ball is always black but you did wonderfully. I hope you find Inkscape as much fun as I do.
