I found a good site for some pretty amazing Inkscape screencasts. So I figured, lets start doing them. This cool tutorial for an realistic texture caught my eye.
X Men is one of my all time favorites. Here's what I made.
The tutorial does a bit more than I have done here. It creates spotlights to add more effect to the shadows. I kept a white background, so I just didnt feel like adding spotlights.
Also, I did learn a few things.
- You can combine objects and imported images using the Object->Clip->Set option. Its unlike intersection or difference because the original objects can be retrieved back using the Object->Clip->Release option.
- And I also learned how to effectively add decent shadows to images.
I did have a tough time using the texture with the text because the texture image was really huge and slowed down my lappy. Eventually, I took a screenshot of the texture which gave me a much lower resolution. That really sped things up. Had to restart from scratch though. The sluggishness really started bugging me.
