New feature for #inkscape based on the ideas by Maren and ju jumo, I've coded a "chameleon fill" function which fills any shape with the average color of what is behind it. In this example image you can see what happens when you make a triangle mesh using the Voronoi Diagram extension...
and learn how to fill your shape with lines by watching this video tutorial: There are three options you can/should tweak: Hatch spacing:first to reduce your shape stroke thickness to very low, so you can see the paths clearly. Then enable live preview and try out different spacing for yo...
Original drawn in hand-coded PostScript from a path worked out using InkScape. Translating from InkScape’s SVG paths to PostScript is slightly annoying: PS uses Cartesian conventions, while SVG inverts the Y-axis. At least the SVG path commands map well to PostScript:m→moveto,câ...
Just having a 3D shape of one view isn’t sufficient, though. TheOpenSCAD scriptrotates the objects to the correct orientation and intersects them to form the final object. This is different from the usual cases of using Inkscape totrace a scanor generatesimple text. ...

Step 5: Change Your Gradient Shape Step 6: Change Your Text Video: How to Add a Gradient Fill to Text in Inkscape Step 1: Add Your Text For starters, grab the Text tool from the Inkscape toolbox by clicking on its icon (red arrow in the image above) or hitting the “T” shortcut...
If you have traced an image that is made of lines instead of being a solid shape (think line drawing vs silhouette), the result is a second set of lines in your file. These must be removed. Why? Extra lines for laser cutting means more burning and higher making costs, and who wants...

Use the path node tool to make something that looks like the example above. You can also go for a different shape if you like. You can now delete the green guide lines. The side is now complete. It is a good idea to group all the lines (use the select tool from the left menu, ...
NOTE: (Sometimes you will come to a point in which the original blueprint no longer fits. example: You build up to a point where the cross section changes shape. in this situation it is SIMPLE!!!: draw out NEW cross section with pen tool and MANUALLY draw connecting lines from the new...
