Episode - 064 Bitmap Masking
Monday, June 30th, 2008![]()
Episode 064 is now up. This screencast demonstrates the use of Inkscape’s Object->Clip->Set function for some creative bitmap masking. This idea came from David Hernandez who emailed us about the idea. Thanks David!
The intro to this one is kinda mellow. The leaf image I use in the intro comes (I think) from a wallpaper set released with one of the first KDE4 betas. After post-processing of the videos I’m also not sure whether those leaves are maple leaves or not. My bad, with it being Canada Day tomorrow.. and me being Canadian. I should know these things. If there are any arborists out there that can set the record straight, feel free.
Also, in keeping with heathenx’s mini.. er.. micro fumble towards the end of his last screencast, I had a hell of a time moving the rotation point at about the 11 minute mark. Tried 5 or 6 times, and finally it took. Any screencaster worth his salt would have scrapped it, but hey, here at Screencasters we fly by the seat of our pants. - like you couldn’t tell.
