If I could just get this screencasting thing down pat, it would be great. At first, I thought it would be difficult to find tools for screencasting on Ubuntu, but as it turns out, there are a ton of them to weed through in order to find what works best for me. Ah yes, that's one of a couple of reas...

Hey Mark, Hahaha! That is funny. Not sure how I didn't notice it before, but yeah NOW I see he already mentioned your site with a link to it. I would definitely be interested in linking to each others sites and do guest posting once my site is ready to go live. I have a ton of ideas as well. If I co...

Hi hulf2012, Thanks for your suggestion. Though I'm not sure it's what I'm after. You see, I can install it from Synaptic w/o forcing it as is. However, it warns me that it will uninstall the currently installed version if I do so. I will look into doing it from the Terminal and see if that allows m...

...As for Gimp layers, I really don't know much about the GImp or it's layers. I've never really liked the Gimp as I've always found it to be a bit slow & clunky. It always crashed on me in the past and I always ended up frustrated and annoyed so I very rarely even open the Gimp up, much less u...

Hi Lazur, First, let me just say THANK YOU for your Honest feedback. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Hello BetaTestingPro, Let me tell my thoughts about that tutorial. Basic question, who is the audience? Starters, advanced users, or professional ones? The tutorial would be a...

(…) It looks like they simply took the extension you mentioned and made it part of Inkscape out-of-the-box. (…) Phrased like this I can't help but getting the impression that some rogue Inkscape developers illegally and secretly included a copy of Karlissons 'Split Text'...

Thanks Lazur, It opened right up this time w/o any problems. I'm definitely going to have to read up on Blender. I know it's a powerful 3D tool but my skills within it are nill so far. If I remember correctly, it's not too difficult to get started with Blender if I just RTFM. I used to tinker around...

Thanks Lazur,

I will take a look later on as I really need to get some sleep now. I was up all night working on my new website and I'm starting to make too many mistakes so sleep must come.

Thanks again BetaTestingPro. Enjoyed a lot reading through your post ;) That's great to hear! At least I know I'm NOT wasting my time. :) Man, for that I should be the one apologizing. I hope you've not lost so much time trying to help me out. Nope, not at all. I enjoy trying to help when I can. An...

Hi there, I liked the fruit icons. Would like to request permission to use it in my book for Sunday School crafts with the words " Free fruit template: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=370" Let me know if its ok. Petra Hi Petra, I'm not sure if you ever got a chance t...

Hi Inkscapers, I've written a tutorial on how to create a nice looking button in Inkscape and would love to get some feedback from fellow Inkscapers before posting it live on my new website. I actually created this tutorial some time ago but got discouraged in posting it when I had a couple of peopl...

Hey Lazur, I'm very new to Blender, mainly because none of my previous PC's could handle using it causing freezes and crashes. However, my current laptop can run Blender just fine but I can't seem to import your .obj file. I've made sure that the option to import/export wavefront .obj files is check...

Many thanks BetaTestingPro! No problem Lucas, I was hoping my idea would help you, but it sounds like you are doing great with your own code which will be awesome for you and others I'm sure! I tried it out on a SVG containing 2 groups with 2 objects each. I don't know if I did something wrong, but...

Holy Awesome Chris! Very nice tutorials. Thanks for sharing such great tutorials for us all to learn from!

(Sorry for the double post, I don't know if this is forbidden on this forum, the rules didn't state anything about it... So here I am) Okay guys, guess what. I've had an idea. I discovered I actually can achieve what I want with C++. So what I'm gonna do is build a program which will give automated...

Oh sorry I didn't check! That explains it all, why they were outdated. My apologies again. Hehe... Yes, it does explain it. It looks like they simply took the extension you mentioned and made it part of Inkscape out-of-the-box. I couldn't recall installing the extension and I knew I didn't go throu...

While I believe Vacuum defs does make a bit of a difference, I'm willing to bet that filters are what's causing the massive file size of 20MB - 30MB documents. I frequently have this problem myself when using filters and blurs (which blurs itself is a filter in the end) and in all cases I'm able to ...

My only problem with the idea is that some heavy vectors can crash inkscape. When you work on several files at the same time -for an example, copying an important part out of a large messy svg-, if all were only on a new tab, a freeze could crash the others as well. In my opinion if inkscape would ...

There was an extension for that according to this topic if I get it right: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3907#p17862 Links are dead now, but you may get to the writer of the extension. http://inkscape.13.x6.nabble.com/Split-text-extension-td2849013.html With a little bit of r...

Very good tutorials Designmark, I hope your blog gets noticed as it looks like it could be very useful to new & old Inkscape and Gimp users alike. Perhaps you should visit http://screencasters.heathenx.org and leave a link to your blog in the comments: http://screencasters.heathenx.org/wtf-alrea...

By the way can someone teach me how can I show an svg original here in the forum?... Did I asked this before?? I know this was already answered here: Here is what I do to show svg, there might be other (better) ways of doing this. File is on dropbox. [url=https://dl.dropbox.com/s/5q3iynkhrs1mnac/d3...

Hi Deee, Nice tutorials and Awesome Zombies! While I'm fairly proficient in Inkscape myself these days, I felt the need to check your site out and do your tutorials. I'm glad I did as I always seem to overlook the Awesomeness of the Built-in Filters. You also gave some great tips and advice on how t...

You've all done a marvellous job depicting you favourite cartoon characters. I especially liked SpongBob, and Tweety. Hi Inkspot, First of all, I'm glad you enjoyed my SpongeBob. I really enjoyed making him and have updated the dead links in case you'd like to download the full size version. You've...

You may be able to create a similar effect in inkscape using the Awesome Vector Splatters that chrisdesign made using real inkblots then scanning them in and using inkscape/gimp to turn them into some Awesome resources for us all to enjoy! I think you will really like this: http://chrisdesign.devian...
