Thanks for the great tutorial…
Would you like to give us a tutorial on how to design a folding carton use Inkscape, please ?
The DVD Software Box video that you provide above is just handle the finish 3D perspective Box. I want learn on how to create the flat box, then after finish we can print them. After that, we can glue the print out of flat box and the result will be like image at episode 37 above.
Thanks !!!

Well, I don’t know about Richard but I have never done a folding carton before. I guess you and I are in the same boat. I suppose that I could look into it for you.

I think that sounds like a neat idea. I’ve been thinking of doing something similar for a CD- mini-jewel case CD cover. A general carton design must be neat. No, I don’t know the first thing about it. But then again, that’s never stopped me before!!

Hi,
One question. In order to use the perspective tool on an object, that object has to be a path. The DVD logo and your own logo for the DVD box, are they paths and not bitmaps? Especially your logo looks like a bitmap to me.
Anyway, very nice tutorial. Thanks, Serge

Hello Serge.
Glad that you are enjoying our videos.
To answer your questions…yes, everything MUST be a path first before using perspective and no, I am not using any bitmap images. Everything is vector.
The next version of Inkscape, 0.46, will make a project like this much easier with the 3D box feature. Cannot wait until it’s officially released.
