    For those who can't see the green line (because they are using a newer version): before inserting the effect "Stitch sub-paths" try to insert the "Interpolate sub-path" and to set the step number to 2.

    New on Inkscape, Nick...
    This was my first try and I made it really good under your guide.
    I think you are very generous by sharing your knowledge.
    Thanks a lot, master!

    To complete the effect, select all the paths, and add a linear or radial gradient to fade out the ends. That's how you get the smooth fade-in/fade out of the original graphic.

      +C Rogers Thanks for clarifying. I must've forgotten to do that in the video.

    • @CRogers

      No problem. That's the easy part really, but just for completeness.

    • @yeerboi
      @yeerboi 2 роки тому

      Could you change the thickness of each line individually but selecting each line or could you do it through the effect tool? IE thick lines on the outside transitioning into skinny lines in the middle?

    You have really been a blessing with the tutorials. I always notice that it's always those 1 or 2 people who dislike the videos. I guess that no matter how wonderful your videos are, it's always someone you can never please. Thanks and keep up the excellent work Nick!!!

      Thanks Kelvin, you've been around for a while and I appreciate your support! I just look at dislikes as a signal of relevancy. Every big UA-cam channel and popular video I know of gets at least some dislikes. Having no dislikes pretty much means the video just didn't get much views and isn't very relevant. You're also right about not being able to please everyone. It's impossible.

    Hello Nick...Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills on this platform. I'm blown away by creators like yourself who teach valuable skills for free.
    I'm commenting on this video in particular because I have the latest version of Inkscape, 1.0 I think, and some of the features used in this video did not function
    for me as described or were simply not available as far as I could tell, the green line for example. I could not get the object on my screen to warp or behave
    as demonstrated even when I manipulated the nodes. I'm not yet familiar enough with the software to work out a solution, so after several attempts I gave up and deleted everything.
    I know you probably can't update videos this old and I don't expect a reply to my issues, since I don't see a reply to other recent comments.
    But maybe you will read this and consider making a new video demonstrating the warp effect in say Gimp, or Affinity Designer, if that's possible.
    Either way, thank you. I really appreciate your videos.

  • @roberts8134
    @roberts8134 7 років тому

    A tip: When I tried to follow this, my lines were thick, not thin like those shown. The secret if someone else has the problem is when you click on the bezier pen, a new toolbar appears above the select button (starts with the word Mode). Make the drop down for shape none. Mine was set on ellipse.

  • @ryanstark2350
    @ryanstark2350 8 років тому +2

    Great videos on this channel. I never tried this feature. Inkscape is fantastic. Possibly the best Linux art app. A lot of people are raving about Affinity Designer. It's cool for sure. More polished in some ways but I think Inkscape is better. Illustrator is still the monopoly but I don't think you necessarily need it.

    • @LogosByNick
      @LogosByNick  8 років тому +3

      I haven't tried Affinity yet but I'm intrigued by it. And no you certainly don't need to use Illustrator to create good vector graphics. To get a job working for an agency, they'll want you to use Adobe software. But if you're going to freelance and work for yourself, you could certainly get the job done with Inkscape.

    • @ryanstark2350
      @ryanstark2350 8 років тому

      This is the problem. You can do a whole lot in Inkscape and if you work yourself, nobody cares what programs you use. They only care about the results but if you try to look for a job they always want Adobe skills as if skills in Inkscape couldn't be crossed over to Illustrator in a few days anyway. It's all just vector graphics. Same techniques. It's the same with Photoshop. There are other apps to edit photos, bitmaps or do painting which are in fact often better specialised for those jobs but no, they want you to be an "advanced" Adobe user.

    Hi, I'm using Inkscape version 0.92.4, I notice that the green line is no longer there. I assume that it's an additional effect that I need to put in called bend path? So I did as you said with the addition of the bend path but the shape comes out different. Furthermore, there is a comment here regarding adding linear or radial gradient to fade out the ends. Can you explain that as I am a complete beginner to inkscape

    Hello Nick,
    i just discovered Inkscape and your GREAT Tutorials.
    Having a lot of Fun Learning about this Program.
    These Abstract Lines are really nice, but i have one little Question:
    Is there a way to create like a "grid" like this, where i can then move the Nodes around and give it abstract Shapes ?
    So far i only found out how to make Horizontal OR Vertical Lines ... not both at the same time :-)
    Thanks in Advance for your answer !

    Hi Nick,
    Great videos. Thank you. One comment. Sometimes you use menu items without explaining what they do. I have gone through all your "Inkscape Explained" videos in case I missed something there but I didn't see anything. The commands I am talking about are path - object to path, path stroke to path. Not sure why you use them in this video and others. Thanks again.

    I'm having issues with this. I can set 30 paths but after I click the edit on canvas button, the green line doesn't appear and I can not curve the paths.
    I found the solution. Its a glitch. Once pressed, the green node will appear on the top left corner of your document and out of view until you zoom out and look for it.
