Honestly, I didn't really think of it, but this type of perspective look is what I was going for at the time. But either way I would have to cut it into 2 four sided shapes so I didn't think of either one at first til i figured that out. Thank you though. I'll try that one too.

Thank you. I did see those and they will come in EXTREMELY useful in the future. Thank you so much. :) For this effect though, I was wanting to keep the lines and angles really crisp and straight and all these methods tend to curve the letters in one way or another, even if just slightly. I finally ...

Ok, if anyone else runs across this problem, I found a different link at http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wp-content/uploads/bezier_envelope_update_0.48.zip and that one seems to work fine. Not sure what was wrong with the github version. So it works, but it didn't actually do what I wanted anyway....

Hi. Sorry for the late reply. Is there no way for this forum to send me emails when I get replies on posts? I can't seem to make it work....? Lazur, thank you very much for the feedback. As Artemis said, I was mostly just learning the tools and playing with filters on the frame, so I didn't have muc...

Hi. Sorry for the delay. I can't seem to get this forum set up to send me emails when I have replies. I've never had this problem before. Anyway, I don't know how big svg files usually get, but yeah it seems pretty big compared to my other stuff. It's 300kb, where as most of my other drawings(which ...

Ok, so I just tried to install my first extension, the Bezier Envelope extension from https://github.com/lemasney/Bezier-Envelope-for-Inkscape#___top. I thought this was pretty simple to do, but it's now showing up when I open inkscape. I put the inx and the py files in Inkscape/share/extensions. Is...

Well I'm not sure what you guys are arguing over, but thanks for mentioning Krita. It looks like an interesting tool with both raster and vector tools from what I can tell. I might give it a try.

I think the forum is a little buggy too. For some reason, I get my replies in my email(as I want to and set it up to do) except when it just decides not to. Anyway, that's a cool feature and I will definitely be using it. Thank you. I will also check out Xara. I'm really enjoying vector art, and I d...

That's disappointing to hear. This is great software, but I'm noticing the more I use it that it's rather buggy. Are there any other free SVG editors out there that you know of that are more stable? I've always heard Inkscape was the go-to product, but I'm curious what else is out there...

I'm brand new to inkscape and mostly new to creating any kind of art. Just messing around and I thought this turned out kinda cool.

I've set all my tools to "last used style". But it just works erratically. Some styles will stick. Others won't. I *think* that changing the stroke width, or changing the fill to "none" or "flat color" or vice versa, will stick, but changing the style to any gradient or...

Ok, I did get combine to work this time. I thought that should work, but the last time I tried, I got some very strange effects. However, vector drawing and inkscape are completely new to me and I'm still getting some basics down, so I imagine I just did something wrong. It's still not ideal for wha...

Ah. That makes sense I suppose. Thank you for the response. I wish something somewhere would explain this in the software though :-/ Hoverovers on every other tool or settings I can find tell whether it's units(and what type), rations, percents, etc.. Is the path effect editor a newer feature? Almos...

Ok, I'm new to Inkscape and vector art in general, so this very well may be user error. When I go to make any kind of path using a shape(triangle in, triangle out, ellipse, etc.), if I go into the path effect editor, I see the width is set to 1.000. But the width when I make the path is actually exa...
