The second, from Jabiertxof Foxtreibaj, demonstrates both the Envelope and Perspective effects using an early, unstable version of the tool. The first, from Rob of ScrappyDew Creations, focuses on using the Envelope effect to create warped text. We recommend a couple of video tutorial on these effects. Envelope stretches and squashes the shape on a flat plane as you modify the control points Perspective maps the object to match the perspective of the plane created by your manipulation of the control points. These effects allow you to deform a path using four control points that Inkscape provides around the object. Inkscape 0.92 has introduced a large family of LPEs let's take a look at several of them. The effects can be composed together in any order you choose for a wide range of possibilities. The Live Path Effects (LPEs) system is a powerful, non-destructive tool for applying live and interactive effects on the vector paths you draw in Inkscape. Live Path Effects (Envelope/Perspective, Lattice, Mirror/Rotate) To learn more, you can read his blog post Now You Can Easily Create Conical Gradients with Inkscape or watch his video:

Speaking of gradients, Inkscape's Mesh Gradient feature offers a Conical Gradient function! Nick Saporito of Logos By Nick has a great tutorial on how to create a Conical Gradient. Here is a sweet little introductory tutorial on Mesh Gradients that shows you how to create an illustration of a realistic-looking mangosteen, created by James Auble for his HueDroid YouTube channel: This provides a lot more artistic control over the appearance of the fill and can make it much easier to achieve photorealistic coloring and shading in Inkscape illustrations. The addition of Mesh Gradients means the control points for an object's fill are in a grid ('mesh'), and individual control points can be given different values. Inkscape's gradient tool has long had the ability to create multi-point linear and radial gradients. Mesh GradientsĪn example of in-progress work towards collaboration with the W3C SVG Standards Committee is 0.92's new Mesh Gradients feature, one of the features Adobe Illustrator converts have long pined for the Inkscape team is hoping for the feature to be adopted into the SVG specification. Here's a selection of tutorials to help you get started using them right away. Inkscape added a variety of new features in 2017. This collaboration has manifested in new and improved SVG and CSS properties in the SVG specification.

Inkscape, as a project, is dedicated not only to open source but open standards as well: The project team collaborates with the upstream W3C Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Standards Committee. The Inkscape team has a long-term goal to fully implement the SVG 1.1 specification in Inkscape and will advance the version number to 1.0 to demarcate that accomplishment.

The current stable version is 0.92.2, released on August 7, 2017. Inkscape 0.92 was released in January last year with a couple of subsequent updates. The bad thing is that the resulting colors depends on the layer order.Open source creatives were rewarded in 2017 with the first major new release of Inkscape since 2015. I almost succeeded for my illustration thanks to the interpolation, in order to decrease saturation, I'm mixing more and more almost transparent layers. In a generalization of this, you should have the color you get by intersecting the 4 dimension-space by a 2D surface

One example of what i would like to get is the filling you have in the different kind of 'color picker', but maybe even more flexible: colors are defined with 3 independent parameter+ transparency, in a color picker you usually set transparency to 1, and intercepted the 3 dimensionnal space remaining by a plane (R remain constant, saturation remain constant.). With an orthoradial gradient between the corresponding stop points of the x and y axis. Druban wrote:I see what you are thinking of - x-axis one set of colors and y-axis one set of colors, but then what about along the line at a 45 degree angle? How would the color of a point on that line be determined?
