Inkscape Tutorial, Light Sabre
Thursday, March 6th, 2008
This is a quick video tutorial I put together for creating a light sabre using Inkscape 0.46.
I wanted to test the screen capture software I’d just downloaded. And I must admit, I’ve never uploaded a video to YouTube or Google Video or any other sites. So I wanted to give that a try and see what the process was like and what options each site had. So I uploaded this video to Google Video. I’m not too happy with the quality of it. If I make another video like this, I’ll try another video hosting service just so I can compare.
The video is probably going to be more useful for people that are already a little familiar with Inkscape. The video demonstrates how to create a glowing effect and how to use a gradient to create the appearance of depth. Hopefully, some people may find it useful.
And of course, let me know what you think.
