That’s ok. You are entitled to an opinion. Not all of my screencasts make sense. I’m a pretty big Gimp user myself. I understand which tool makes better sense for projects like this. However, we don’t make Gimp or Photoshop screencasts…we make Inkscape screencasts. I have a habit of showing off Inkscape’s potential.

I’m not sure I agree with you on only using image editing software for images. There are some effects like drop shadows, reflections, photo paper borders and other things that are just plain easier to do with Inkscape.

Surely there are many image editing tasks that are much more effectively done with the GIMP or Photoshop, but don’t discount using tools for jobs other than what they were strictly ‘designed’ to do. Use whatever floats your boat.

Thanks for watching too.

A Blender head? umm.. no.. Like most other things, I dabble enough to get what I need done or just enough to make me dangerous. Definitely not enough to become what you might call ’skillful’ though.

That’s my main problem. I’m a jack of all trades, but as yet, a master of none. Trouble is I enjoy fiddling with too many things to make major progress on any of them.

It is fun though. And I’m all about the fun.

Right after putting it together (when I was still familiar with the interface) I could have modeled the intro you see in our videos in about 15min from scratch. There’s not much to it. The words are all static as are the lights. Then I just fly the camera along a predefined path and that’s it. Actually very simple. But learning the interface etc. can be daunting. Your first successful render though will make it all worthwhile!

But enough of the compliments for heathenx.. I’m already shining his shoes and picking up his dry-cleaning.. any more success and I’ll be run ragged.
