#inkscape
Did you know it was #inkscape's 20 year anniversary this year?
I was trying to get the project to fund a nice video, or perhaps some tshirts. But no one seems very interested. In one way this is good as most contributors are hyper focused on the future and not very nostalgic about the past.
But some stickers would have been cool.
The date is in November, so one and a bit months away.
Do you think I should spend some time doing something without project funds?
I got my flu shot button.

Starting to learn me a bit of #inkscape. Mighty impressed by its capabilities!
Starting to use #Inkscape a fun little special thing. I started using Adobe Illustrator for work stuff awhile back - the UI here is different, some things I prefer in Illustrator, BUT you absolutely cannot beat the price.
What’s ironic is I learned the basics of Bézier curves in a 3D program, Blender. So instead of learning 2D and going to 3D, I’m going from 3D to 2D!
So many #birds! 🐦🦉🦢🦅🪿 Who is your favourite?
Started this project over a year ago as a birthday present (it's a #jigsaw #puzzle! I didn't take any photos when we did it 🤦♀️) and now it's finally here!
Testing out #Society6 as an #printer with this one (and #CutePlanets), check it out:

Die kunterbunten Icons von #duplicati waren mir bisher ein Dorn im Auge - aber mit einer dezenten #svg Überarbeitung via #inkscape @inkscape passt sich das großartige #foss #backup #tool neben #nextcloud @nextcloud & Co ideal an das #kde @kde #tray an! 🤤 💙
#linux und #opensource machen das möglich! 🥰 🎉
By the way muss ich an dieser Stelle gleich noch "Werbung" für den #splitscreen in #dolphin via F3 machen! 😀 👏


When you watch videos of people making color separated printing plates so you can fill out #Inkscape's #silmarillion deep lore backstory so when you go to write the much more focused feature, it has that lived in-real world feeling to it. 😅
More work on the USS Budapest engineering during the weekend.
Added a glass panel at the center of the room, it'll display the EPS conduits all across the ship, similar to the TNG 'pool table'.
Also added more control panels at the back of the room and a door to a Jefferies junction at one side. Modeling is now mostly done, I just have to add some light fixtures on the ceiling and other bits.

I ran some #penplotterart tests on my @idrawpenplotter. I would really like to get a workflow with a brush going, but the simple ballpoint pen currently still works best. I might be able to work some magic with #blenderfreestyle to improve the brush look, though.
So far I tried workflows with #clipstudiopaint vector export, Clip Studio and #Inkscape image tracer, Inkscape tweening, a half finished model I made in blender a while ago and some #blendergeometrynodes magic.

Hello #FediFriends ^__^
Does anyone know if it's possible in #Inkscape, #Scribus or another #Linus #Foss #vector #design tool to link/embed a #PDF or #SVG?
I want to be able to change the original file and then have the linked one updated. Inkscape just imports all the layers directly if I'm not mistaken and I can neither get Inkscape nor Scribus adhere to cropping boxes in import.
Any #help is very much appreciated, merci ^__^
Very late #inkscape developer update video this week! Sorry about that. Text to glyphs, cms contemplations and stroke to path fixes.
I'm doing an outside shoot, which was a bit of a mixed bag result. I think the green looks great, but the sound and lighting are terrible. Next time more verity!
Some years ago, I embarked on a journey, capturing everyday objects through vector graphics. It might seem childlike, but this ongoing quest is a source of continuous learning and self-discovery for me.
The project involves creating digital drawings that breathe life into memories, using Inkscape to tell stories from the imperfect perspectives of daily life.

J'ai réussi à transformer manuellement un copier-coller d'un inspecteur web vers un #SVG lu correctement par #Inkscape.
Cela me comble de joie.
Rien d'exceptionnel, il suffit d'analyser la syntaxe, d'ajouter ce qui doit, de remplacer ce qui doit l'être par ce qu'il faut.
Vive les langages informatiques !

@BlackAzizAnansi So hard to pick one let's see if I can go down the priority list
- #GIMP - https://www.gimp.org
- #Inkscape - https://inkscape.org
- #Aegisub - https://aegisub.org
- #calibre - https://calibre-ebook.com
- #qBittorrent - https://www.qbittorrent.org
- #ShareX - https://getsharex.com
- #OBS - https://obsproject.com
Took me 20 minutes just to trim it down to this. It could easily be 3x as long.
aaaaand done!
#heckWeasel is our make-website-thingy... a static website compiler (ty @actualcassomary )
yah i guess #Aldercone was a software making thingy before I was ready to admit it lolol *cries*

No matter how good AI image generators get, don't think I'll ever get tired of playing around with all the amazing features in @inkscape 😻

Now to pick the one that is best... I think maybe the middle one?? I like the one on the left a whole bunch too!! What do y'all think?

not done but you see where i'm going with this!

@KommaChameleon
#Inkscape recently. #Thunderbird, as usual. I also find #Krita quite fascinating.
Here's a project I started more than a year ago, but I could never settle on the layout and dropped for a long while. Now I'm finally getting into it properly: main engineering for the USS Budapest (more on the ship here: https://tadeodoria.com/pages/budapest).
As you can see the style is very much Voyager's, but it's smaller with a lot less stations, and in only one level.
#StarTrek #StarTrekFanArt #Blender #Inkscape #MastoArt #FOSS




The last updates of #Inkscape almost doubled my productivity with it. I am really impressed by how good this software is becoming!
I had a similar feeling with #Blender a while ago. Those are excellent examples of truly awesome #freesoftware.
Another older Rascal the Numbat artwork. :blobfoxmlem:

Wild #inkscape found! This is from S01E04m31 of BET/Paramount's TV show "Average Joe".
At least it's being used in a heart warming mother-daughter scene about hope for the future and not... what appears to be a lot of men pointing guns at each other in the rest of the show. 😅
I love to see #FOSS in culture. It's important for our ideas about software freedom to make it out of our nerdsphere in order to make an impact on the world.




Recently dedicated some time to learning #inkscape. Man, is it powerful!
An obvious use case for it is creating small icons, and I've done that.
But an underappreciated aspect if how programming-like you can make larger projects.
When coding, you reference and re-use functions in different places. In Inkscape, you can create clones of objects, use these objects as masks, or reference color swatches.
I can set up an entire design with dozens of element that I can recolor with just one click.
@SurpriZe Unfortunately I can't help you much with that.. since I am still stuck in my old career while I try to find my first roles in programming =/
I can share some of the tips I received myself, but they're just general tips really. The first one that comes to mind (and one that I unfortunately can't make use of) is to be enrolled in a course that allows you to take internships, since at least here in Brazil you need to be inside an university or something similar to be able to take those.
Another one that I am actually trying to do is to complete any small project, even if it is a web page for yourself, because it can be used as a way to show what you can already accomplish, and serves as a portfolio.
I also want to start getting some hands-on experience by contributing to opensource projects like #inkscape, but I am having trouble finding time to put into that because of my current full time job, but if you have some free time, that may be very interesting too (what could be better than helping the community *and* getting some activity in your github/gitlab).
Wish I could help more, but wish you good luck with this journey (and if you find other good tips, feel free to share them too haha)
A art style experiment I did back in last year. :blobfoxthinking:

A artwork of Rascal the Numbat's early design, I have yet to finish his newer redesign though... :blobfoxthink:

#inkscape UX Question: When you use the "lock guides" option (or button), do you expect it to stop you moving existing guide lines, or also stop you from creating new guidelines?
Most programmers think it should stop you making new guidelines and a fix is prepared by new contributor Pete Eigel; but Mikekov isn't convinced by the solution.
Rather than this being a purely PvP discussion (programmer vs. programmer). What do you think?

#inkscape autosave just saved me a lot of headache.
Very glad it's on by default!


@puniko @adfichter Ja, habe den "silbernen" Rand halbtransparent über die Stange gelegt, weil ich keinen echten 3D-Effekt hinzuzuziehen wollte. (Sind alles lineare Farbverläufe aus #Inkscape).
Muss scheinbar das nächste Mal doch auf #Blender upgraden. Aber nur für dich 😇
Run #Inkscape. We now need to turn every picture into a bitmap and separate the outline from the embossed foreground.
I'll only use the Path menu. I don't know what the others do and I have a vague idea about what a path is.
1.) Trace bitmap then remove the original bitmap.
2.) Simplify path. Without this the rendering would be way too long and it also removes some artifacts.
3.) This is a good chance to remove remaining artifacts and fix issues.
4.) Duplicate the path. The duplicate will serve as an outline. If it's not closed, connect the open parts so that the picture can be filled in.
5.) Fill between paths. Then merge ("union") the duplicate and the outline.
6.) Rename the paths so that we'll be able to identify them when separating. I also change the color and transparency of the outline as a visual aid. (5/10)

Made 3d-printed necklaces from hand drawn pictures. These are prototypes, the idea is to get the procedure right and then use children's drawing.
Used #GIMP, #Inkscape and #OpenSCAD. I'm no good at either of these tools, so there's a #Perl script that does things I couldn't figure via trial and error. But I think it turned out okay.


This week's :inkscape: #inkscape update video is out and contains a new camera angle 😉 , also lots of exciting updates about colour managed output in Inkscape including cmyk jpeg/tiffs, soft-proofing display mode and putting those raster images into pdfs. Come check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niYxaxG_OSs
Big thanks to all my sponsors. ❤️
Please re-share to reach more people. :cc_sa:
Diagramming would be an utter pain without the myriad of snapping and alignment options available in #Inkscape.

#Comic Freund*innen aufgepasst.

The #WebP buffer overflow bug that caused all the major browsers to issue patches earlier this week (e.g. #Firefox 117.0.1) also affects applications built with Electron. #1Password issued an update today for their Mac build.
The CVE affects the underlying webp library, not just web browsers, so this will be an ongoing issue.
"Who uses #libwebp?
"There are a lot of applications that use libwebp to render WebP images, I already mentioned a few of them, but some of the others that I know include: #Affinity (the design software), #Gimp, #Inkscape, #LibreOffice, #Telegram, #Thunderbird (now patched), #ffmpeg, and many, many #Android applications as well as cross-platform apps built with #Flutter."

@ChrisHardie Some industry group should fund a study of what it would take to make #Scribus, #GIMP, and #Inkscape ready for newspaper usage, and then fund a bounty for coders to pursue those issues. #FOSS
We are gushing from all the love, dear users!
#Inkscape 1.3 has surpassed the one million mark!

During the weekend I started work on a small ready room for the USS Yeager (see here for info on that ship https://tadeodoria.com/pages/yeager)
Given the small size, the room itself is mostly done, I just need to add decorations and props all around

I knot it's not much yet, but I'm quite excited about this Color Managed #Inkscape redesign. It's all functional and a bunch of assumptions are all made sane so you can actually use Inkscape to Color Proof your document in a DeviceCMYK profile before exporting to PDF, TIFF or JPEG in an actual CMYK profile.
I'll talk more about this in this weeks update video. But perhaps this will wet your anticipation. 😆

This time I decided to draw a #sheep and use gradients despite not being very comfortable with them 🙈 The audiobook is "Catalogs to sleep by" a collection of texts aimed at helping you.. to #sleep! 💤
Dafuq is there any plausible reason for #Inkscape to NOT select everything when I'm hitting "Ctrl+A"? It's duely ignoring two multi-line text fields 🤔
This week's #inkscape video is out! A bit late, sorry about that it's been hectic at home, back to school season is always busy round here:

Bonne nouvelle !
Mes formations peuvent être financées par Pôle emploi !
* Retouche d'images avec #GIMP
* Mise en page avec #Scribus
* Montage vidéo avec #Shotcut
Me reste plus qu'à enregistrer celle sur #Inkscape, puis #SynfigStudio quand j'aurai écris un programme…
