loved it ! thanks for sharing. Please share more about these parametric and geometric features, it is a link between art and engineering. Sorry for asking this before searching for it, maybe yo already have videos; can you make some flowers ? i mean really nice flowers not just something stampe to 2D, I know inkscape is not the software for having a 3D flower in it, but it would be nice to know, how to make a beautiful rose, with natural twists and details.

Hi! Awesome video! Really shows the simplicity and at the same time complexity of this effects. I ws wondering, I'm new to this, is there a way to offset the shapes? In a way so that the smalles hexagon is located at a different location different than the center? And kind of get this pattern effect in a different direction other than "inwards" or "outwards".

Thanks Rick for making these beautiful tutorials. I am a geometer (topologist). I have to draw a lot of pictures, for example, torus or double torus, and many more mathematical pictures. I will be grateful if you can make one tutorial on these kind of things.

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! I wish Inkscape had more choices on the 3D tool. Right now it's just 3D boxes, but I could see them expanding the feature to allow different shapes. One tool that may help with double torus designs is the mesh gradient. It let's you add shading to create a 3D effect. Still a little difficult compared to true 3D rendering software.

Thank you for yet another great video! The other day I was playing around with some sublimation printing. Is there a way to use a printer ink profile on InkScape? Also, is there a way to fade an imported JPG to say, 50% transparent, and then lock it in that way? Once exported it will regain its full opacity. Thank you, and have a great day!

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

Great questions! I've got to start getting familiar with sublimation printing. I know a lot of people come to Inkscape so they can print in the real world or do laser cutting projects. If anyone reading this knows about setting printer ink profiles in Inkscape, could you chime in? For the jpg to 50% transparent, have you tried exporting the design as a PNG?

I dont have option for turning the page black and keeping the background white, also in my inkscape I dont have "tiling" pathe effect. Can you tell me which version do you use?

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

For sure. I'm using Inkscape 1.2. The Tiling Path Effect is new. There's an older video on this channel that shows the same result with Create Tiled Clones instead if you want to make these without switching Inkscape versions.

Do you have more than one Page or have you used the MultiPage tool in the Inkscape window you are in? If so, I found a bug. The node used to drag the shapes all on top of each other resets ina maddening way and ruins it. Try opening a completely new Inkscape window with no Path Effects.

@marxman1010 Жыл бұрын

@@IronEchoDesign I tried the same approach of handling tiling on a completely new Inkscape window, but there were no changes. Additionally, I noticed that the snap feature was not working properly. It was impossible to move the node to the exact position as in the video.

@IronEchoDesign Жыл бұрын

Path effects can be sticky. I experienced the same error where the node could not be stacked properly. I've noticed newer additions to Inkscape have bugs at first. The Tiling feature is an example of this.
