Lazurgolden spiral

Lazur

Constructed from gradient meshes with only greyscale mesh nodes. Colours are added by a 256 step gradient map filter generated by s_uv's extension -modify color-adjust-colormap-. "Theoretically" a smooth fade should be rendered between the steps.

Lazurglass challenge

Lazur

Animatemotion inside of a glass hexagon ring. For a challenge at the forum. https://inkscape.org/forums/competitions/new-challenge-21-september-2021-04-october-2021/ Tried adding a fancy filter to the moving dot but it resulted in a 0,1 fps animation... so filtering is reduced to screen blending mode on the glass.

An animated svg filter was used for this effect. It's a bit resource-heavy when rendered as an svg, so captured it into a gif with sharex for those who can't render the svg. Edit: tested if the gif could be used as a thumbnail but then it's not animated so removed the svg entirely. It's available at openclipart. openclipar.org/detail/331168/stop-smoking-animated

What is the point? There is no point. Nothing. This right here, took days to achieve. Animating the gradient with a notepad? A minutes trick. The rest? Failing. Drawing 360 copies of the same object, with its fill shifted: almost impossible challenge. On multiple versions, between 0.92 and 1.5 dev (2025 Jan. 29.). Pattern fill handles misaligning without any cause. Rotational centre moving when nodes are deleted. Rotational degree spinbox showing 2 digits only, without any possibility to resize it. Icons illegible. Align and distribute jumping to aligning to page option. Text tool font selection shows only a slice of the text. Creating unused definitions by thousands. Failing to adjust multicolor icon colors. Failing at editing gradients. Failing pasting objects with their pattern fills directions intact. Failing to open at a reasonable speed. Lagging. Horrid rendering. Pixelation when zooming in. Objects disappearing. Black spots. Outlines only mode, obscured by "ants" as selection boxes. Less than 1 MB. No filters. Less than 365 objects. Only 1 gradient definition. And yet it's a failure on every front. Was planning to add more to this image. Need some rest. Feeling betrayed, again. From rage, to resignation. Won't bargain, there must be a better way. There is no point, no point at all pursuing any of these with inkscape. Need something, that can do the job. Edit: and as it turns out this rant can't be displayed in its fullness by default. Wasn't expecting anything else. Maybe another 502 bad gateway message?
