The thing that I like about your tutorials is that it's a mix between beginner, intermediate and advanced stuff. For instance, I didn't know this trick for repeating patterns. So thank you :D
I found you videos and love learning the techniques you bring to everyone. Thank you for your teachings. 🙏 I have been searching TH-cam on how to make seamless patterns for conical tumblers. The tapper is the thing doing my head in. I have a laser cutter and engraver and would love to make my own patterns. I thank you for any help you can give and I thank you in advanced. Great work!!
I love it! Now I know I can use the inskape 1.2. I will download it in a couple days. I am just busy at home. If I dive in... I KNOW I will loose a good day. Hahahaha The one thing I do differently that I will probably keep.... Is I build it on my box then duplicate at the end and clip set. When I get busy I will test to see if that works in the 1.2. I love to do florals... but I do way more than florals. I have photoshop... but for repeating patterns I prefer to use inkscape.
Thanks so much! I know what you mean. I love filming, but even more I like testing out different designs and playing with different pattern ideas. Time seems to stop but then you look up and it's the middle of the night!
Excellent thank you, I've just made my first one from some previous digital collage so had all the elements, really easy to understand steps thank you again.
Great, thanks for the video. You can also convert the final result to a pattern and scale, move or rotate it from node editing. I remember that Logos by Nick at some point recommended to duplicate several times until those lines disappears.
Thanks so much!! Yes, great points. Next pattern video I'll show Object to Pattern at the end. Great idea, and somebody just asked about that in the comments of an another video. Thanks!
"... and I put it in the real world,..." so we are all Inkscape dreamers =D As always, thank you so much, Rick, my learning curve increases steadily with the help of your tutorials. And huge congrats to over 10 000 subs! Maybe you'll like to do the one or the other video how to use the filters? I love the watercolor filter, but there are so much more...
Thanks so much!! I'm definitely an Inkscape dreamer. Wake up in the middle of the night to jot down an idea-dreamer! So much to explore with the Filters. I've got a few detailed watercolor videos up where I drill down in the settings. Need to make more playing with other filters.
This video was just what I needed, Thank you for the video. Oh, that line between two tiles drives me nuts lol. Can't wait for more seamless pattern tutorials like zentangle, themed patterns, etc with the technical side of creating them. Hope you are doing a marble texture tutorial like the one on the video thumbnail of the Inkscape 1.2 feature video.
Thanks so much!! Marble texture still in experiment mode. Trying watercolor effect but having opacity issues. Zentangle sounds cool. Thanks for the suggestions!!
Beautiful! If the user doesn't want to change steps settings, they could use the transform menu (Ctrl Shift M) and do 1000 px translations vertically and horizontally.
In another video on this type project, they mention turning off anti alias to stop the lines between tiles. Have not tried it yet, what are your thoughts? Perfect instruction by the way.
Thanks! I think that's a good idea to try. The lines are tricky because they don't show up when exported out of Inkscape, but for some reason the program wants to make sure the tiles are separated visually. When you zoom in and in, the line just scales with the zoom. Funny behavior.
I really enjoy your Tutorials. They are very clear and easy to understand. Do You have tutorials on how to save my repeating patterns to my computer from inkscape? Should I only Have one pattern / File? How do I make collections of patterns using inkscape?
Thank-you for that advice about the mock-ups. was looking for advice on how to format a portfolio using Inkscape that I can print out or email to companies. Thank-you for your time and your advice. It is greatly appreciated.
Ty soo much, Rick. Hey, I think I figured out the White Line issue. If I remove the Stroke on the Green Clipping Block, and then make sure it is 1000 x 1000, then clip with it... those White Lines disappear. If you can, let me know if that works for you as well. My Fabric came out so beautiful. Ty you again.
Just successfully created a repeating pattern! Thanks for such great guidance. I use Cricut Design Space and don't seem able to download my design to use with this. Is there a setting I am not using? Thanks
Nice! Inkscape uses Export to do what most would consider Save or Download. Go to File- Export and in the menu that pops up choose either Page or Selection, set the DPI and towards the bottom of the menu you can designate where the Export will be sent/saved and also choose from a few file types like PNG or JPEG. Let me know if it works!
Did I nearly hear you swear when yhat glitch happened? Richard! (with a shocked voice!) 😂 Overall I am impressed how the lag in dragging objects etc doesn't drive you mad. I am experiencing bad brush lag in Affinity Designer and its frustrating to say the least. 😬 Hope the new camera works well for you.
Hahaha! That flash and potential crash had me shocked for a second. The lag seems to be much more prominent in Inkscape 1.2 - and I know what you mean, it gets a little frustrating. Hopefully it works it way out in the next release.
Thanks for the easy to understand video - but I'm curious as to why you wouldn't use the Seamless Pattern Template? What then, is this template useful for? If you could give a tutorial on that as well, that'd be fab.
Love your content! Relevant information in an entertaining way. Do you know how to create a seamless repeating pattern with a half drop? I'm just now trying to figure it out for myself. I've been using Inkscape for a couple of years, but a half drop repeat is quite daunting.
New subscriber. Thanks for the tutorial. Question. When I put my final pattern on top of a background, it changes the color of my elements. (From blue to green on top of a yellow background.). Opacity for the pattern is at 100% How can I prevent the color change?
Thank-you for Your videos they are very helpful. I am now interested in learning how to put a Repeat Pattern Collection into a Portfolio. If You have any advice on how to do that it would be very helpful. Thank-you
Thanks so much! Like a portfolio as an example of your work? I'd save the repeating pattern and apply it to a mockup image or two. Some of the Print on Demand sites have good selections of mockups depending on what you're looking for.
@@IronEchoDesign That is helpful, and I need pages. Put together to show mock-ups with pattern Collection Tiles together. With write-ups about myself and my work to make proposals to companies. Any template advise or format structure advice would be great for Inkscape
Thank you very much I have a problem after cutting, there is still a larger selection that disturbs the paving The selection of the set of flowers wider than the page
I think I know what you mean, there is a lot of blank space between the object and the edge of the selection box. Sometimes that's a random pixel way out there - this can happen if you trace bitmap, a piece of dust gets caught near the main image. The solution I use here is to edit nodes and simply delete those far-flung nodes. If it happens when using filters, my workaround is clip>set using a new object in the desired size. Hope I've understood you correctly.
I am enjoying your tutorials and really learning a lot from them. But I've gotten lost on this tutorial when you got to the cutout box. I can't figure out how to create one. Can you give me any tips on creating one? thanks.
Could I ask a question? Hope so, if you cam help, my top menu bar does not have any of the icons on the second row that you are using, how do I get them to appear? This is for Inkscape 1 2. Thank you 8n advance
New to Inkscape and seeing that artifact glitch near the end is annoying. I used to experience that over 10 years ago and they (the industry) STILL haven't fixed it? Wow.
Great question! It's a known glitch, and it's glaring- at least to me. Logos By Nick has the best explanation and workaround video on his channel. I've found when taking the original (unrepeated) pattern out of Inkscape for use in Photoshop or for products on Redbubble, the seam is gone. Or so it seems. In my opinion Inkscape is showing the seam on purpose to represent the separate items. If you zoom in, it goes away for a second and then is rendered back in. Its always the same thickness even when zoomed way in, which tells me it's not part of the vector objects. To test this theory, make a quick box of 4 and export to PNG. Thin lines are gone in the PNG image. Or....someone else reading this may experience the seam because stroke was left on for the original square. Hope this helps!
Ther are much easier way to do this. file/new from template / seemles pattern . this will set up file that will do cloning for you automagically for you
Thanks, I'm looking at the Seemless Pattern template, and I'm glad you pointed it out. I'll have to play around with this, and it looks like a nice feature Inkscape has provided. Is this easier though? My preference in my workflow is to move quickly and let creativity flow. This template method looks like another excellent way to do it, and I appreciate the sharing of knowledge. Why did you feel the need to undercut my video with your comment? I would have liked collaborating with you in the future.
@@IronEchoDesign template is superior coz you dont need to care where its going to overlap it will be take care of automatically. also you don't need to mess with your preferences (changing step size seems like dangours game for novice users if they forgot they change this setting , but on the other hand it shows them that this option is there so its not neceraly bad just dangerous). Sorry I dently did not men to under cut your video. Just wanted to le you know there is IMHO much faster and superior way to do it. heh my writing style sometimes looks much more mean then I want to sound :D I am defntly up for collab :)
No worries. I do want to collab with you because I see the beautiful work you're doing on your channel, and I appreciate the knowledge you share in the Inkscape community. There are pros and cons for every method, and it's fun to discuss the theory. I'll give your channel a shout out on the video I'm filming tonight, and we can help each other grow. If I make mistakes, let me know. It's how we all learn.
Your videos have a calming effect when it's most needed. You know with all the horrible news in the world. Thank you!
Thank you so much. That means a lot to me!
The thing that I like about your tutorials is that it's a mix between beginner, intermediate and advanced stuff. For instance, I didn't know this trick for repeating patterns. So thank you :D
Thanks so much!! That is exactly what I'm trying to do- mix in all levels of tutorials.
You are a master of tutorials. And your manner & voice is off the scale x

Awesome. I tried with low opacity and gradients on objects. Export image is off. Edges on objects doesn't come out right like on the viewport.
I see. I have opacity issues when I try the watercolor technique. We'll figure it out. Need more experimenting.
Beautiful! If the user doesn't want to change steps settings, they could use the transform menu (Ctrl Shift M) and do 1000 px translations vertically and horizontally.

You can export your finished pattern tile as a png or svg file. I think Rick has posted a tutorial on exporting images.
it's an anti aliasing issue. the quickest solution is to just duplicate the image once or twice.
great video as always 🔥❤️
Thank you! And thank you for the anti aliasing info. I appreciate it!
