Finally updated my Discord server logo to personalize it, and also to move it from being Inkscape only. Still haven't updated the name.
Made a rainbow and turquoise ones. The rainbow is arbitrary because #Inkscape doesn't come with premade gradients... sounds like a good idea to me?

So instead of sewing new leggings for my kid I was first reading about mammal oestrus cycles, hey, do you know that elephant shrews... digression! ..and then was fixing a useful looking external #Inkscape extension Paste length, because it's pre-1.0 and wasn't running. Made it to run and show errors, fixed those, and now it says I don't have paths selected but I definitely have. Might be out of my depth at this point. This message is 'else' of the statement, so 'if' isn't true somehow.
One of my biggest challenges switching back to #Linux now, is the lack of support for #Fusion360 used for #3dprinting.
Many would critisize me for using Fusion360, but hey! It works!
I am productive, efficient and good in it. I have my workflow and I have 2 years of experience in it. It has its problems and me using it is in no way me actually liking and approving of their business practises or how they treat our community.
So I guess I am finally making the switch to #onshape
Problema con #Inkscape 1.2.2 (l'ultimo: Inkscape/Inkscape-b0a8486-x86_64.AppImage).
Se cerco di agganciare una guida a un oggetto fuori pagina mentre la pagina è tutta visualizzata nello schermo non si aggancia, ma lo fa se la pagina è visualizzata solo in parte.
I wanted to try out Vector Graphics, so here is a #inkscape wasp.
My review: Inkscape has wayyy less tools for non-destructive workflow than I expected. Most shapes have separate objects for fill and outline, which makes adjustments painful (e.g., I can no longer easily change the shape of the wings, or the eyes).
I did some art style experiments lately. I wanted a style that was simple to draw, but still looking both retro and modern at the same time. :blobfox3c: I was struggling with my usual retro/"Disney-like" style, so this newer style's anatomy is easier for me to draw. I enjoyed working on this very much! :blobfoxheartcute:
Étude de design pour bonnet de piscine pour le club de Nage Avec Palmes.
J'ai fait un waving ! ... c'est comme un flaming mais avec de l'eau !
...même quand je design un bonnet de bain je ne peux pas m'empêcher d'intégrer un élément un peu métal culture ! 😜
Le logo est de moi aussi mais ça fait déjà 3 ans qu'il existe.
Often I search for something like, "What's the OS Alt for XYZ?" But now I wonder, "what's the proprietary version of it?" In particular, I have no idea what is the off-the-shelf equivalent that a lay user might know for #Inkscape?
Was just thinking about the work I’ve been doing in #Inkscape for my puzzle book graphics and preparing things for print in general.
I like the spirit Stuart Semple had with the free color palettes when Pantone got greedy recently. I’d like to see him and his fans channel that into support of Inkscape over Illustrator. Maybe in the form of funding bug bounties or feature requests that better equip artists prepping things for print?
Yeah, it all makes sense, why do you ask?
Working on a dress pattern pieces. I've raised the neckline because it's going to be lined and the original had a neckband. Drew overlapping fronts for button closure. Added curved princess seams, and seam allowance along that line.
Still need to make a puffed at cap sleeve out of a regular one, then gathered and circle skirts are easy, and then I could see if it fits into 'fabric' rectangles. Merciless pattern editing ;) #inkscape#sewing
I have learned #Inkscape by tutorials by Logos by Nick on Youtube. Well, I could trace with Bezier curves before that, directly using the same skill learned in Photoshop, but I've learned to edit sewing patterns by logo design tutorials and experimenting ;)
That's why I'm giggling right now because I'm finally creating a logo in Inkscape. This is a random irrelevant version of it, and probably a poor copy of some existing software logo I can't remember.
Added the dutch Flourish of Approval [1] (or as we Dutchies call it: de krul :) in white on orange (obviously) to my profile as indication that I am a dutch person :)
I'm working on visual material for a record label for the first time since 2019, and it requires post-production effects and compositing work, so I decided to see if #natron would be capable so that I can do everything with #guix, and so far its been simply amazing, not what I expected at all. If you were ever a #pd, #maxmsp, #vvvv, or #touchdesigner programmer who also had to do post production effects work, you'll feel right at home. I'm yet to see how it will handle the workload once the video material is added, but right now just as a #vfx tool that focuses on a programming-oriented workflow while offering all the keyframing facilities of #aftereffects, its already a much preferable workflow than the latter.
I feel like the deeper reason that #Adobe has been so bullish on #AI is that already in 1999 Netochka Nezvanova had demonstrated that everything in time-based digital visual media could be reduced to a system of objects called NATO.0+55+3d, and everything after that is just understanding how those objects compose, so in order to stay relevant Adobe is creating products that figure out the composition for you, so that you never have to learn it and thus stay dependent on them indefinitely.
jokes aside, I'm really impressed with how far the #linux media production ecosystem has come. I've been pretty blown away with #krita since I started using it a few days ago, and #inkscape was always great but there was something just a little off about its aesthetic, which is now pretty much perfect. but nobody is talking about #natron as far as I can see, so I was expecting it to be like rocket science to figure out. but actually, as someone who worked with #ae and box-and-wire compositing systems for years, it's been the most intuitive of all of them.
thats kind of a niche set of skills, but if you've worked in motion graphics, you've probably done a fair amount of data flow graphical programming
