I missed my first premiere. What a rookie 😂. Thanks to everyone who watched live! ❤

[@Jadebones]

"First Premiere" "Rookie" Yeah, checks out. Well on the bright side, the best time to learn from screw ups is during the beginning stages of most things, which makes future endeavors easier, or at least more confidently approachable. Soooo.... Good job!

[@GridIndustries]

Thank you so much !!!

Thank you!

Very cool! Happy new year, Rick 😊

I had some difficulties getting the two sine waves look nice with interpolation. I figured out, that the start nodes and end nodes change the appereance a lot. Also, if you select "discard extra nodes of longer path" as interpolation method, you have to track the amount of nodes yourself. Sometimes (for me most times), "split path into segments of equal lenghts" is the better choice

[@IronEchoDesign]

Great points! I like the options.

[@Kaycii.Austine]

Got something new in this tutorial. Thank you, IronEcho

[@IronEchoDesign]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@CTRL_SMarcos]

Thank you for the video. I wish LPE's Interpolate sub-paths could work with groups like other LPE's and the interpolate style option would be added. It would be like this extension, but in a non-destructive and much more flexible way. Have a happy new year, by the way 🙂

[@IronEchoDesign]

Totally agree. And thanks! Happy New Year! 🎆

[@cpm-freeware]

Thanks :)

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks!

I recently had trouble with Inkscape 1.4 as I did something to cause it to crash and it would no longer install. I searched on the web to find ways to fix it, but some fixes were to complicated for me. Instead I downloaded an earlier version from the Microsoft Store and so far so good.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Good idea. Sometimes the new versions have some bugs to work out. I just switched to 1.4 this week actually.

[@CelticOneDesign]

@@IronEchoDesign 1.4 fixed a ton of bugs in 1.3.2 but introduced new ones. 1.4 has some amazing new features so I just end up using both. Crossing my fingers for v 1.4.1.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Good idea. Best of both worlds.

[@gobajoseph5064]

Je suis cartographe et j'ai énormément appris de vos vidéos inkscape pour les cartes . J'espère encore en avoir en 2025

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you! I love making map videos. Any thing in particular you’re looking to explore more?

[@gobajoseph5064]

Carte topographique, Carte imaginaire avec relief des montagneS par exemple, et carte de guerres représentant par exemple une bataille avec des armées ennemies

[@kasumbaabubaker8443]

Hi thanks for the good tutorials. I installed inkscape 1.3.2 and 1.4 beta on my Dell d630 windows 7 32 bits but all the extensions are not working and I can not do anything with them. What could be possibly the cause?, thanks

[@ReinaldoAdrianoBH]

Hi, there! Is there a way to align objects relative to objects below them? Example: I'm designing a keyboard, but I want to align the letters according to their keys, doing it one by one is a pain. So is there a way I can select all the keys with all the letters and have the letters align within their respective key at once. I haven't found a way to align objects relative to the ones below.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Excellent question. Cool project too. There are settings in the Snapping menu that allow for uniform spacing. I think you mean centering the letters themselves to each key now that I read the question again. You could try cloning a template key/letter pairing. Once you have all the blanks where you want them, unlink clones. Still would have to type the letters, but they would be aligned.

[@valeriefolk9902]

Can you help me with using Inkscape to work on a round object, ie ping pong ball

[@stacyosborn4537]

I have a request or question-are you able to create faux embroidery in Inkscape?? I know people are doing it but it’s in Ps or Adobe I think. I’d appreciate if you know the answer or anyone please let me know and a quick tutorial would be soooo awesome!!! Thank you so much!!

[@rrossouw100]

Can interpolation be done between two closed paths, say a circle inside a square? I guess you'd end up with a rounded corner square. More interesting shapes could yield interesting interpolations.
