I can't believe that this software is free. These people are amazing

Oh and props to you Nick being pretty much the number one advocator of Inkscape on KZfaq. Thank you

Inkscape definitely feels like a different software all together for anyone who used its ealier versions. A big thanks to the Inkscape team for this huge update

I audibly gasped when I saw the shape builder tool. My workflow has just been cut in half. And then you showed the corner rounding ability. This is insane. My love for Inkscape has gone through the roof

They've been investing massive effort into this gem of a software. Making it more and more valid for use in professional studios. Props to the wonderful team behind inkscape

At this point there's hardly any reason that I would personally need a paid product. I was considering upgrading to Affinity V2 since I had V1, just for the shape builder tool, but now that it's in Inkscape I can save my cash. Great work Inkscape team!

Inkscape is really stepping up there game even more

I SALUTE THE INKSCAPE TEAM, you guys ROCK and Your work NEVER has and NEVER will be un appreciated! Thank you ALL so much!

what i love about inkscape is the workflow. it feels really intuitive.

Inkscape is growing up. Thank you for the update video. The first two tools already had me smiling. So much time saved👌👍🤌

I love Inkscape. I just hope some developer may give the Text functions some love. There's a lot of things related to text that just doesn't make sense, like going to EXTENSION to simply change the case.

Can't wait to see more tutorials on 1.3

The path effect refactor and the performance improvements are everything i've wanted from Inkscape.

I always have enjoyed Inkscape more than Illustrator for over 8 years. I've been more impressed by the toolset, and the performance. Now though, I feel like a child on Christmas morning! Can't wait to use the new shape tool (will save me so much time in path operations), and the new effects are pretty sick, and the non-destructive modifiers are something I've been wanting for so long, I'm so grateful it exists and is so refined now! As always, great video, and very informative!

Such exciting news! Thank you, Nick!

That's awesome! I'm really happy for the developments with inkscape. Honestly the main reason I used Illustrator was the shape builder tool. It's just too useful and streamlined. Always happy to see free alternatives get competitive

Nick you have no idea how helpful you've been to a lot of us over the years. Your work is greatly appreciated sir.

YESS! I'm so happy I got over the learning curve and migrated to Inkscape for certain projects.

Thanks to the inkscape team. I'm most gassed about the shape builder tool. Thanks Nick.

Awesome new changes! I also really love that you've updated the Inkscape Masterclass videos, they've been a tremendous help for me.

Huge update, thanks Inkscape team!

Inkscape is always impressive, but wow, it's really improved a lot. very nice to see Inkscape devs delivering such quality software.

You know what makes this update that much sweeter is you covering it with your amazing video

Man, your videos are pure gold, still doing it Nick. Thanks and your deserved like.

I'm mindblown by Flatter and Fracture function 🤩

It´s really cool to know inkscape is "slowly" getting better and better. When I started learning it, I thought it was not getting updated, coz I just took it as a finished product, but these updates make inkscape so much better it´s really cool!

Still the best tutor for Inkscape Nick. And Inkscape is such a great piece of software. Kudos to all those that have worked on it over the years and the continued support. Without them and the FOSS community we would all be stuck with an overpriced subscription service.

So excited for these new features.

It's a very solid release. Plus the features you've mentioned, I am really fond of multiple pages, CMYK, export menu ... I think Inkscape is growing fast, like Blender and Krita. More and more people are getting interested in Inkscape thanks to your tutorials @LogosByNick 💯 .

Nick thank you so much for your videos over the years. I have learned so much from you, which has helped me tremendously. Big props to all of the people at Inkscape for all of the hard work that has gone into making this free program such a great success.

As somwone who has been using Inkscape since 2008, this feels like a major update that level up Inkscape!

that shape building tool will save me so much time! and patterns? oh my, inkscape devs are amazing ✨

I remember using it way back and thinking they'd never update. Now they're hot on the heels of Affinity. Thanks for the video!

Wow, the similarities between Live Path Effects menu and Modifiers in Blender is striking. And I'm not complaining, Blender is a great application to draw inspiration from! And of course the Shape Builder is such a gift, I even thought we would never get it because Adobe had some patents for it, but here we are. Awesome release

been a long time following your inkscape stuff after my unemployment, your vid helping me to learn some skill in vector world! thank you for still updating the inkscape guide !

I haven't used Inkscape for about 12 years, but I made some CD covers with it back then that went to print and turned out well. It was great software back then so I imagine it must be fantastic now! (I use Illustrator because that's what my clients require). But Inkscape is certainly more than capable enough

Love how far Inkscape has come, I started using it in 2013 or 2014

You're the best man u helped me a lot with this amazing software

I'm, so glad I found your channel and I've been watching your growth over the years trough your videos. Glad inkscape 1.3 came out finally!

Sooo many details of this update will be so handy for technical drawing. Having a pattern builder inside inkscape would have saved me a few hours in my last project :'D

Just found out about Inkscape paired with this amazing channel and the best part of it all is that Inkscape v1.3 was just released introducing the long-awaited (as I later found out) shape builder tool, I'm already blown away and overwhelmed by all of this great stuff going on, thanks to Nick and to the amazing people at Inkscape for enabling me and my fellow designers to grow our passion and ("test the water" - Nick) Inkscape is my ( "foot in the door to the world of graphic design " - also Nick) To Nick, thanks a world To the amazing people at Inkscape : you're making the future -Shakir, another ("future graphic designer" - As Nick labeles us in the "Ai vs Inkscape" video)

Another great video! Thank you Nick for spending your time helping others like me!

Thank you Nick for this video. I am so excited for the shape builder and pattern tool. Last week I made a logo and I had to go through the hassle of using path effects to round off the corners and now it has become this simple. I also make patterns for my art on Inkscape and this new feature of manipulating existing patterns is great. They really outdid themselves with this one.

This is freaking EPIC, and such an absolute game changer! I don't want to beg with a handful of candy, but integrating 3d forms and perspective rendering into shape builder, would be even more amazing, like for working with 3d text. Actually, this is already possible, with a little finesse. I can't believe how much easier my Yin Yang design became with SB! SB alone is a huge time saver, and for those starting out now with ver.1.3, you can't even imagine the struggles as a beginner, prior to this stable build of Inkscape. It's not that they were impossibilities, but one had to be creative af and have a boatload of extra time, to achieve a desired result occasionally! 🤓 Nick, I've got to be honest with you, you were absolutely instrumental, in helping me understand how to use Inkscape, and level up my design game! I'm not a doodler, so being design creative didn't come natural for me! I followed every one of your tutorials I could find, explicitly, and that's how I learned! Thank you SO MUCH! ♥

Thank you :) And thanks to InkScape developers!

Thanks for the update Nick!

Okay, hands down the most excited I've been for an Inkscape release, I wasn't all that hyped, then I saw the video and I'm down with Nick, the most excited I've been.

Thank you Inkscape!

Wow, after a few years of debating the break away from adobe to affinity. The changes I needed to text warp and Inkscape came and saved me. Finding these tutorials and now 1.3 damn Inkscape has finally come around to finally take charge of the mighty 3 apps. With your channel I really never needed adobe! I’m excited!

SO GOOD! I just love having inkscape in my toolbox. I'm not even a designer but it came in handy many many times. And thanks to your tutorials it feels super quick and efficient to use. Thanks a lot! :D

Thank you very much, Nick. I am downloading the update right away.

Es ist schon echt unglaublich, wie mächtig Inkscape über die letzten Jahre geworden ist! Respekt an die Ersteller!

Inkscape my love 😍🌹 It makes me so happy an amazing software like Inkscape is completely free, I wish more people knew it and appreciated it

I have been using inscape for years. I love these new features

Thanks for the heads up! I don’t use it that often, but it’s nice to hear that it’s being updated and with excellent reporting!

My English is bad but you teach so well that I still learn from your lessons.

This is a great video Nick. Thank you. Very excited to try the new version.

This update looks fantastic, thank you for creating and sharing.

Wow! I had no idea. I gave up on Inkscape years ago, but now I'm going to have another go.Thanks!

That rounded corners feature is gonna be used TONIGHT!

I was just watching a video last week on the shape builder tool in illustrator (first time I came across this tool) thinking about how useful it would be. I had no idea that it was planned for the new inkscape and that it was releasing this week.

This is impressive. I'm really excited for the pattern and shape builder tool, I've dreamed of features like that in Inkscape and I'm so thankful they're here

This is a much better overview than most other videos (that just read off the release notes). Thanks!

Anyone who develop Inkscape 1.3 need a huge praise! 1.3 have the most biggest improvement in Inkscape! And for Nick, thank you for a good demonstration

Nice video. Fantastic and consistently great work by the Inkscape team and you too Nick. I've been using it since v0.46

I love using Inkscape. Cool new features! 😊🗻👍

the examples in this video are brilliant and explain the features perfectly. really rare to see explainations this good, great video!

The fish scale pattern is something i spent a bit of time on learning how to make manually previously

Thanks for this video and the major updates are so awesome especially the shape builder tool❤

I'm amazed they actually got this far. I work in UX design, and I tried to get involved a few years back, and felt summarily ignored and snubbed by the maintainers. I'm glad somebody was able to knock their heads together and get them moving in the right direction.

Finally impressed and will donate. I will not have to use other software to finish projects. Thankful for your dedication to keep improving.

this new version of inkscape is amazing

Utterly brilliant! Thanks Nick, these updates are amazing.

Oh wow that's incredible! I've been practising over some Adobe Illustrator tutorials lately and wished the shape builder tool existed on Inkscape as well. Now it does!! Amazing update!!

Inkscape is stepping it up and it's great to see.

I really want to thank you for these videos (as well as Inkscape) for these! You're by far the best source when it comes to learning this software and it's very nice to not have to fall into the Adobe sinkhole.

Path effect menu change is great. Previous UI hard for me as newcomer.

These look amazing, can't wait to update!

Thanks for showing the new features in Inkscape 1.3. They look excellent and the UI seems to be getting better and more intuitive with each release. The only thing that is a shame is that there is still no CMYK for print quality designs without having to go via Scribus. That is the reason I moved to Affinity Designer. Please keep making the great content, I love your Inkscape tutorials.

Thanks for the great video... And wow! The Shape builder tool!! I'm excited!

This update has caught my interest and feel like learning it again.

Strange that I would find your channel just now, but thanks man! The Shape builder tool is da bomb !💣 I'm going to get a lot of use out of it.🥳 I haven't even toyed with all of the stuff they added in the last major update!🤯

Thanks to your channel. I learned to work with Inkscape from your lessons. The illustration at the beginning of the video) was drawn by me for Inkscape.

I always love inkscape. Been using it since 2010.

Just completed this video. And man, Inkscape isn't even what I remembered 2 years ago. A lot has changed since then, what an incredible team of devs! Now knowing about the existence of these new features too, I'll try Inkscape once again. Heck, maybe even replacing Illustrator with it too!

This is exciting! Can't wait to test it myself. Thanks for the video.

Long life for Inkscape!

There's tons of great free and open source software out there, but Inkscape glaringly stands out as one of the best among the best. I only use it occasionally, but it's an absolute joy every time I do. What makes it even better is knowing that whenever I do encounter a problem I don't know to solve, Nick will have a video with a detailed, to the point explanation of how to achieve whatever I need. I cannot thank you enough for this content!

Woooooooooooooh Thanks for the update! The new rounding-nodes-functionality has blown me away. I have missed that soooo many times especially BECAUSE I missed the ease of use compared to the way that is done in CAD software

This looks like a pretty great update. High time I get back into Inkscape, thanks Nick! :)

With the recent developments to tools such as inkscape, blender and davinci resolve it truly is the best time to try one's own best in creative pursuits

Very exciting. I wouldn't have known if it wasn't for having the notifications bell on. Thanks Nick.

I'm *so* happy to see the new interface for managing patterns. Now all I want is the ability to convert the applied pattern into a series of editable nodes. Essentially, I do a lot of laser-engraver, etc work. And having to export a raster just to get the pattern is both lossy and inefficient time-wise.

Thanks for that Nick... I really like your tutorials... very clear and well spoken...

This an awesome and amazing update. Thanks for the info

I have been using and advocating this from pretty much the earliest versions, it’s truly fantastic software.

Very well described, I just subscribed as I am wanting to learn Inkscape

inkscape is one of the programs that I like to work with the most, I already worked with it both on windows and linux, I really love this program.

Ayooo that shape builder tool is game changing, cant wait to use it!

Man I love inkscape! and I love your great tutorials as well :) Thank you!
