Nice! Pro tip: When assigning colours from the palette to your circles, you can just hit TAB to jump to the next circle you made before sampling the next color. This saves having to switch tools over and over.
To match the objects with path length, you should use Extensions > Visualize path > Measure path, create a shape of that length, then align and distribute relative to that.
ye this is a limitation of this tcheqnike its not very good with straight lines. The best thing you can do is to add small corners sith LPE corners to spline that is used for bend.
Seems really weird this isn't a feature in Inkscape itself. While your method works, looks good and is decently practical, it is extremely taxing for rendering (rendering hundreds or thousands of circles is not that performant, who could've guessed) - Inkscape starts lagging on my decent computer after just a few paths with such an effect. This should seriously just be a gradient option
yes i would low this in inskcape my guess would be this is outside of SVG spec so nobody though of adding it . but this method I show is little bit more flexible coz it always you to sue castom shapes
@@AdamBelis True, it would be impossible to save to SVG unless the format got updated. I kind of want to make an extension for it, but at the same time I can't be bothered yet so maybe later.
@@AdamBelis True, but I doubt anyone will want to invest time in developing nonstandard functionality. Inkscape is a vector editor, so it would make sense for it to be able to do everything in SVGs.
@@absolutewisp oh we do that ofen in inskcape . all Live path effect are outside of standard. if you are interested in contributing come to chat :D chat.inkscape.org/home
Yeah, it's all good, but... God, so many steps for such a simple operation. IMO, instruments for doing things like this should be provided by the software itself. Otherwise it's just not efficient enough. Wasting even a couple of minutes for something that could be done in a single click - this is what I call an inefficient workflow. In a perfect world it would be: 1. Draw a curve. 2. Add the gradient stops. 3. "Mode: Along the curve". That's it. And I can't even call this feature a niche one.
Yeah i would have to agree this would be nice as a feature. and should be 3 click process. That is possible in illustrator. The problem is that this is not an actual gradient anymore (even in illustrator). And my implementation ie extremely taxing on performance so this is not ideal candidate for actual implementation into Inkscape(without some heavy optimizations). Also, I did not show this in this video but with this technique, you could do so many more complex gradients/ blendings (blending different shapes, sizes, stroke sizes, etc) . But this is also possible in illustrator and it's still much easier than in inskcape coz it's all in one tool and have better UX

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Great tutorial! Definitely going to make use of this one.
thanks bro. this is EXACTLY what i need. got subscribe! keep sharing to this community.
You are a BEAST! thank you so much for this tutorial, it was exactly what I needed :D
amazing! your so knowledgeable, more tutorials plz
Great! Thanks for the video.
Thank you, I'm going to try this way tomorrow :)
Than you, bro. Very good tip!
Genius
This is working fine with curves but not with polyline, what to do ?

@@absolutewisp export could be proabbly woraround / have a png fallback

can you plz share colors code
thank youu!

Poor audio.
is it too quite , noicy or you don't like my speaking in general ?
