It's great, I'm studying graphic design, (I'm a begginer) and in my college we do something like this but with illustrator... Now I'm in love with free software philosophy, and your videos are great cause I find an alternative to private software with something like I love who is graphic design. Pd: sorry for my English I'm not a native speaker.

I hope you find this amusing, I spent the whole weekend trying to pimp a logo, I had to stop and watch a dozen of your tutorials and voila it's done and brilliant thanks to you.

@sponsoredmessage201 6 лет назад

Note that you can get a similar effect with the "Interpolate Sub-Paths" effect. You'll have to apply it for each of the pairs (the extension does that automatically), but then you can edit the path after the fact. You can even use this to make 3d wireframe figures! It's very relaxing to play with.

@karleydenobrega4772 5 лет назад

Wow Nick, I am so impressed with your tutorials! I worked on Coreldraw years ago but haven't been able to buy it again, so when I found Inkscape, i was over the moon. The fact that you make such comprehensive tutorials, creating these amazing logos and vectors, makes it even more of a pleasure - thank you thank you thank you - you have no idea how you are helping me find my creativity! Keep up the great work!!

@LiaRistiana95 5 лет назад

Amazing! Just want to say that I have been following some of your tutorials in the last couple of days and I think you're doing a great job explaining these things. I literally had no idea how to use inkscape, but the way you explained things really helped me to learn. Thank you very much.

Thanks Nick! Your tutorials are among the best, ever. Much appreciated by fledgling Inkscapers like myself.

@zaugitude 4 года назад

Nice! Love this effect. If you set the colors for the lines before interpolating you can interpolate the colors too by checking "Interpolate Style"; I did three separate interpolation with just two lines selected at a time. Also, if you just do the interpolation from the paths, at that point you can still edit the stroke width, etc..

The first thing I wanna say is that these videos are helping me a lot. Now I want to become a graphic designer. This is a very special youtube channel, so go forward, don't give up! The second thing is that I have a question related with Inkscape, Ubuntu, and Windows. I have the same problems with Ubuntu about the programs that are available so I decide to install Windows 10. The problem is that in Ubuntu you can see the thumbnails of the svg files and treat them like images. My question is if you know how to do this using Windows. Thank you.

I know its an older video but I just found it right now. At first great Inkscape tutorials and I've never seen any better yet. And I really like this effect but is it possible to make an animation out of this lines? Like changing settings in small steps and make a sequence out of it? I really like to have a video background with this just moving instead of static. Hope I can get an answer to this.

@silkworm6861 6 лет назад

Thanks, but I don't see why you need convert stroke to path, you can use a gradient for the stroke color and it looks the same.

@RachelBruner 6 лет назад

I've had this issue too. If your problem is the same as mine I found that hitting the "Make the shape a whole ellipse" button would solve the problem. The button is in the tools toolbar when the Ellipse is selected, and is the last one on the far right, the full circle image. Hope that works for you too!

@fartisart420 6 лет назад

hey @nick , you really make great videos , simple , easy and slow for beginners . would like to ask you what is better in your opinion (gimp or inkscape) i want to learn one of them but cant decide, also would you please recommend a video editing program(beginner) and if u know a channel with some videos would be great ... thanks

@jnwte 6 лет назад

It would be beneficial to learn both. If you want to learn to edit photos I would recommend learning Gimp first and then graduate to Inkscape. Some of the concepts are shared by both programs but they serve different purposes. Blender is great for video editing (among other things its capable of). Mikeycal Myers here on RU-vid has some good video editing tutorials for Blender.

@LogosByNick 6 лет назад

Comparing GIMP and Inkscape is like comparing apples to oranges. They're both graphic design applications, but they both serve different purposes. Inkscape is for creating vector graphics, and GIMP is for editing existing photos/images. It would be ideal to learn both simultaneously as they both work great in conjunction with each other.

@juerhe1 6 лет назад

THANKs from BAVARIA! 1)How can i fill the space between each line with an vertical gradient too? 2)How can i use Inkscape on a UltraHD Display? It always closes and i cant see the menues siutable

@bonbonpony 5 лет назад

Try bumping up the number of lines in the Interpolate plugin. If there's enough of them to fill up the entire space, then you can work with them. At first it will look ugly - just a solid black area. But then you group those lines and make them much more transparent in the Stroke & Fill panel (you can readily combine it with gradient there as well) and they will start resemble a real smoke then. You can also try experimenting with their thickness, and maybe add some slight blur to make them blend with each other better without moire patterns and other ugly artifacts. That's how I made mine that I linked in another comment.

@LogosByNick 4 года назад

Sounds like you didn't convert the strokes to paths as I did at 3:20

@DarkLord852236 4 года назад

Lines came out too seperated and it's not even close to this. I tried a few ways it's not working.

@nobrainer2058 4 года назад

did you ungroup them first and then selectet all? Unchecked all the boxes in the interpolate menu? maybe try putting your original lines a little closer together?
