Up to version 5 Filter Forge worked quite well with Xara programs although there was a minor issue on Xara's end that I've been waiting for them to fix.

However Version 6 doesn't work as a plug in with Xara at all when I tried to run the plugin Designer pro just gets minimized to the task bar.

I'm also going to raise this issue with Xara, as I'd love to see the two companies work together on making Xara a supported host.

*Update* I was able to get it to work with Xara by pointing Xara to the plugin folder not the x64 folder so I would surmize that its using the 32 bit version

angelize, please continue raising issues with Xara developers – we haven't heard from them since we had figured out that XDP fails to follow the 8BF standard closely.

Hey guys, thanks for taking the time to respond, sorry I haven't been round here in a while. Life gets busy sometimes. I have been trying to keep bringing this up with Xara.

here is something I've been playing with (using the 32bit plugin) I brought an extruded object in from Xara using an external image component and by using that image as a source for alpha, offset, and even shading (still needs tweaking) I've come up with a pretty realistic result. The edges are distorted based on the height of the texture.

Note: the dirt layer was added in Designer Pro after applying the extrusion
