Inkscape Tutorial: 3D Abstract Cube

[@heitormetal]

Man, i've saw a lot of your tutorials and the conclusion that i took is that no matter the tool (inkscape, adobe illustrator, corel draw, etc) if the guy between the chair and the keyboard make the right choices. But, for me, Inkscape stays on the front because it is free software, supported by a community that keeps it always fresh. Nice job. Thank you.

[@LogosByNick]

+heitormetal Absolutely. Design software is just a tool. It's the person using the tool that matters.

[@user-lb9kv3xq2y]

It's crazy. I didn't knew that Inkscape is so amazing. Really cool please keep up your amazing work!!!

[@LogosByNick]

+Professornee E I've done a lot with Inkscape. It's a great program. Thanks for watching!

[@nadinewhite993]

Thoroughly enjoying my time following along to your tutorials. Mine are now as sharp and clean as yours - no bragging intended, I've just finally learned to do exactly as you say and not inadvertently miss steps or get confused because of not previously knowing what certain tool icons were for. Thanks again!

[@LogosByNick]

+Nadine White Glad it worked out. Thanks for watching!

[@nadinewhite993]

Nick Saporito Of course I spoke to soon. My next one (Hot Air Balloon) took a few backtracks to get it as clean and elegant as yours. I think that because sometimes I'm following along without knowing the outcome of the step, my brain tends to go at 100% cpu trying to work out what the result will be, so I muddle up the step. As in my brain is asking itself Why are we doing this? What's going to happen? So forth. I should watch the whole tutorial before attempting it so I know in advance what each step is intended to deliver. Actually, I WILL, as opposed to I SHOULD. :)

[@wilfredonaranjodoffoult48]

I've been learning a lot with your tutorials, Nick. Thank you. I hope to acquire your courses soon. A hug.

[@ahmeddeiaa3943]

Nick, your ideas are really awesome.....your vedios are a great add to inkscape tutorials...keep it up Nick

[@nomad1331]

Awesome Nick, thx for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@rblihovde]

Really dig the use of the perspective tool in this. Great video!

[@LogosByNick]

+Bob Blihovde Thanks!

[@SimonBarnsley]

Really inspiring video Nick. I reckon these must take quite a bit of planning - working out what shapes to start with to get the final result.

[@LogosByNick]

+Simon Barnsley Yeah figuring out what to create is the hardest part. Once I know, I just start recording and going through the steps.

[@nicktrutman2760]

One of your more inspiring videos yet! Thanks!

[@elionayzuridasilveira4140]

Thank you for this new old tutorial😄

[@michaelsalais7393]

That Perspective Extension really caught my attention. Any other interesting uses?

[@cosmosess]

Love your videos! Thanks for taking the time to make them and pass on the knowledge!

[@thecoder7188]

yeah he makes great content +CJ Merkins

[@LogosByNick]

+CJ Merkins My pleasure, thank you!

[@LogosByNick]

+Axmed Nuur Thank you!

[@リンゴ酢-b8g]

dieses Video kam zur rechten Zeit. dafür bin ich dankbar

[@phillipm2368]

Wow Nick!I adore your videos.You are seriously very good.You are a genious!

[@LogosByNick]

+drummer Greatest Thanks, glad you like it

[@FranciscoRodriguez-vz6qd]

Muchas gracias por el tutorial, me ha sido de gran ayuda. Thanks

[@SunroseStudios]

these are some really neat tricks, but i'm not convinced this is necessarily the most efficient way to do this? isometric stuff could be well served by a triangular grid for example

[@MtNmK561]

My square is always rounded at the edge when i place one, like at 3:14. How can i change that?

[@banksdada501]

Good stuff Nick. Ijust about found an open source tool for my website graphics. Thanks man!! Keep up the great work

[@LogosByNick]

+Banks Dada Glad to hear that. Inkscape is wonderful for web graphics. Thanks for watching!

[@pyne99]

My modify path to perspective didn't work

[@Crambit]

Same here

[@Atoms_Flowers]

Preety awesome I have a question which one has more feauters inkscape or affinity and is affinity open source.

[@shlomobachar4123]

I don't have the Custom View button or selection? (as you explain in the beginning setup).

[@messtwice]

Because of Inkscape and Blender I switched one of my PCs to Linux couple of weeks ago. Ubuntu to be precise. Thanks for leading me to Scribus. Not too many tutorials about Scribus but I managed to convert some of my Inkscape works to CMYK thanks to the App. I was wondering if there was a set of Linux programs that you use often? My list would be Inkscape, Blender, Scribus and LMMS. Darkroom seems nice and some video editors sound good too.

[@LogosByNick]

Yes I mostly use Inkscape, GIMP, Blender (only for video editing though), and Audacity. Those applications pretty much cover all of my creative needs.

[@NebucadLaVey]

Hi, i love your tutorials. You're doing a great job and i realy enjoy it to try this on my own. I was trying to draw an abstract cube with 3 letter. Actually it didn't work out. So i was asking myself, if it possible to make a 3d-cube with differnt letter on each side or it's just my thoughts it could work? I tried to combine "L" + "M" and "A" all letters have a comparably shape. So i thought this will go. Do you think this is possible or do you have any tips for me to reach my goal?

[@LogosByNick]

+Nebucad LaVey Yeah that's definitely possible. You'd have to use the perspective tool to do that. I may do a tutorial on this soon.

[@NebucadLaVey]

Nick Saporito Thank you for your answer. i appreciate it. I'm looking forward to see your tutorial.

[@mysterygodnebulous8886]

And how can i think more creatively while using inkscape?

[@sesebere]

Nick; How do u come up with 3d art like this?

[@itsallinsideyourbrain7833]

no options for modify path in the extensions pannel.

[@tzeditions610]

Dear Nick, many thanks for all your tutorials. I'm trying to make them all!! Just a small question ab out this one: how to create a shade effect between these different shapes? (the right one over the middle one, the middle over the left one). Many thanks in advance! Thom

[@sheikhmuhammadadnan3]

very nice and fully detail

[@sithlordofVA]

I turned this into an exploded view drawling. Thanks bro!!!

[@LogosByNick]

+sithlordofVA Awesome!

[@tiffanyw3794]

Can this be done with a cylinder

[@smiltogjones]

for me it did not work... i don't know why but inkscape doesn't fill the figures that were drawn with bezier pen.. do you know why?

[@sisyphoze2811]

Could you please show how to do the reflection from the thumnail? :)

[@nicktrutman2760]

+SISYPHOZE From what I've learned from his other videos, I believe you can just duplicate the finished cube, flip the duplicate upside down, drag it down to where you want it, bring the duplicate to the bottom or underneath the original cube, and add a very light gradient over the duplication and maybe even bring the opacity down. Hope this helps! : )

[@LogosByNick]

+Nick Trutman Yes, you're right. That would work. +SISYPHOZE I just made a tutorial about it today.

[@nicktrutman2760]

Goes to show how amazing your tutorials are brutha!

[@figuresdesign6299]

on your website how did you render your designs in four different shades @NickSaporito

[@LogosByNick]

+figures design I just duplicated them and changed each element's colors manually.

[@smcq117]

I love your videos. So helpful.

[@inezsmithen1434]

Hi nick excellent work! Have you ever had any experience with using drawplus x8? It’s very similar to Inkscape

[@Zeezoro]

Amazing, helped a lot. Thanks

[@mysterygodnebulous8886]

What are some ideas do you have that i should do, that i can make with inscape?

[@LogosByNick]

+MysteryGod|Nebulous Anything that comes to mind. Look around at stuff that you think looks cool and let it inspire you to create something similar of your own.

[@matsmangrud7514]

Can you give me a link to the download to the version you are using?

[@LogosByNick]

+Bjørn Mangrud I'm using Inkscape version 0.48.

[@dtll84]

Inkscape crashes when applying the perspective extension Version 0.92.1, Windows 10, 64 bits

[@MariyaS476]

Спасибо большое за чудесный урок! :) Все получается! :)

[@Dimegg]

Still fiddling a bit with the reflection.
