[@daveyedgar]

This is fantastic, exactly what I needed. Now I can bring my logos to the next level. Much appreciated!

[@IronEchoDesign]

So glad to hear. Thanks so much for the great idea!!

[@orkokts]

If anyone is confused, the "Motion" extension is now called "Long Shadow".

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!!

Rick, thank you so much! Very impressive and informative tutorial. 🤙

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks so much! It's the long way, but still fun I think.

Nice and gogd voice come back again! The yellow sun and overlay "3D" are the keys of this trick!! Wonderful trick. Thank you very much.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!! So glad to be able to speak, and sun helps everything especially in winter, right!?

Thanks! That’s a great idea!

@@IronEchoDesign i ´ve learn image editing during last year. and be grateful to the support

[@marmitful]

Love your videos they are so helpful. I have a question; I have noticed people doing 3d designs that look inflated. People are making designs for sublimation tumblers. I was wondering if this is something you can do in Inkscape and if yes, could you do a video on it?

[@NYProductions]

Nice approach!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!!

[@brain_respect_and_freedom]

Thank you @daveyedgar for your inspiration. Great lecture @IronEchoDesign🙋 👏👏👏 And you feel better. Awesome! I've started to drink thyme tea to protect my voice.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!! Thanks again to @daveyedgar, and I’m with you on the tea. Had some Oolong at my desk while recording.

[@dhrubavideos]

how can we create product mockup or packaging mockup, I have designed a soap package, but found very tough to wrap around the soap, as the soap is does not have sharp corners like box, the corners and sides are rounded,

[@thinksocceriq]

Dude, boston needs to make an IronEcho Holiday. I checkout all of your new releases to see what i can add to my skill set. always appreciate you. Im also from Boston, northshore to be exact.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! I'm up in the Beverly area. North Shore is the place to be. IronEcho beach party one of these summers would be cool.

[@GuzanGames]

any chance you could do an updated video? Im following steps and it doesnt seem to be the same anymore. Be much appreciated for alot of us :)

[@pasticciottiontheroad]

Thanks for the great tutorial. 👍🏼👏🏼 I was just wondering if there is a way to add a 3D effect to a photo in Inkacape.

[@craftybegoniam.223]

I love your tuts, but I need to ask you a favor. I'm a total beginner. I have Inkscape 1.2. When You make a tutorial, please specify if it's for 1.2 or 1.3, that way, I'll know if I can follow it or not. Thank you!

[@nikkilesley2525]

I can see uses for both ways. I do think the first way was easier though. The second way I can see how you can manipulate the smaller parts though. And actually I bet if you break down the lettering parts in the first way, you can still manipulate the shading and gradients. It's great to have multiple ways to do one thing though! 👍

[@IronEchoDesign]

Totally agree. I wanted to include the first way because I like the spontaneity that working quickly gives us.

[@PaulaStreet]

If I learn Inkscape will I be able to transfer some of the skills if I ever need to use Illustrator?

[@IronEchoDesign]

A lot of the techniques are the same. The tools are similar too. As much as I love Inkscape and have committed to it, Illustrator is still the industry standard and has many powerful features not yet in Inkscape.

[@duncancampbellcreative]

Can you do a video on how to make some anamorphic typography/designs?

[@FerdausAlAmin]

Great video..

[@YotamGuttman]

fyi I think the name of this extension has been changed in the new release to long shadow?

[@IronEchoDesign]

I think you’re right. Long shadow is a great addition. Thanks!

[@YotamGuttman]

​@@IronEchoDesignbut I mean, an extension named 'Motion' no longer shows in the menu...

[@marcosluizgoncalves1548]

wonderful😀😀😀

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!!

[@cintaharmonis]

Thank you so much

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thank you!

[@ritzenhauf]

where is this in Inkscape 1.3? seems to have been moved or renamed?

[@IronEchoDesign]

Motion is still there. Extensions- Generate from Path- Motion. Interpolate is now listed as Interpolate Between Paths. Same place Extensions- Generate From Path- Interpolate Between Paths. Hope this helps!

[@spaceflights]

Outdated. Not working for me. object to path just turns the text into nodes and I cannot ungroup. I get the message "No groups to ungroup in the selection"

[@ginnysharp245]

I have been watching your videos on inkscape. I just started using a cutting machine that usses svg files. I want to be able to cut out the word GRANNY in 3D but spray the top layer of the letter with grandchildren names. I am finding it frustrating.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Inkscape is tricky a lot of the time. Its even more difficult when exporting a file to use with a cutting machine. If you want to spray the grandchildren names, I did recently make this video that shows how to spray specific text: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKGTlmp_f9FnkNE.

[@marcosluizgoncalves1548]

wonderful !!!

[@sebbosebbo9794]

have Inkscape bevel option amd outline options...

[@IronEchoDesign]

Yes, there are a few different options. Fill and Stroke menu can directly make outlines and under the Filters top menu you can find the first dropdown choice is Bevels with some interesting variations there.

[@CartoonCapeTown]

Question regarding an older video of yours. I am running and learning inkscape 1.2. Using your video, I am working with trace bitmap function. With a photo of only 2.0mb, Inkscape keeps giving me a "not responding" in top title bar. Thoughts on a fix or troubleshoot???

[@IronEchoDesign]

Been there. Filming a new video at lunch and the Trace Bitmap feature keeps timing out on me too. In the new 1.2 version the Optimize slider seems to really jam things up. Just my first guess. Try taking it down to zero. Only other sure fire way to fix is to make source image even smaller.

[@CartoonCapeTown]

@@IronEchoDesign Thank you. Strangely, just waiting ended up fixing it. Just not used to seeing "not responding" as a way for my processor to think.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Glad it finally worked. I’ve been making imported images really small before going into Inkscape as a work around. Might be my older computer.

[@kopenwheelrc4149]

Nice work! Can this be printed, or is this just for web use?

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! It can be printed. You can scale it to fit whatever size the printer needs or you want.

[@kopenwheelrc4149]

@@IronEchoDesign Thanks. I was thing more screen printing. Color seps?

[@IronEchoDesign]

Oh, I see. When I design for apparel I do stay away from gradients. Everyone says the print will fail, especially for DTG. I have experimented and had gradient designs printed in real life and they come out okay actually. Still, if the industry standard is not to do it, I'd be careful experimenting on a client's project.

[@kopenwheelrc4149]

@@IronEchoDesign Makes sense. Thank you very much. Maybe lowering the resolution would help from colors bleeding. I generally print solid colors with traps for when they touch. Just learning this tool. Your channel is fantastic!

[@IronEchoDesign]

Great ideas. Screen printing is an art itself!

[@lummsmusik3219]

Thanks for this great tutorial. But I am sure this is not isometric. It is 3D but isometric view looks different and is defined by clear rules like 30 degree angles.

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks! I'll try to be more accurate in the future.

[@darrencunningham4475]

A MAZ ING👍

[@IronEchoDesign]

Thanks!!

[@joannpadia]

How about either changing the color if your pointer, or highlight it so we can easily see where you are pointing. Please
