The way you explain each tutorial makes it easy to understand. Your tutorials make it easy to learn Inkscape from day one. I love your work, so please keep uploading new content and ideas.
you can mitigate overlapping pressing repeatedly the "unclump" button in the tiled clones panel. After that, you can wiggle the clones randomly using the Tweak Tool (W) with the "move objects in random directions" mode activated
I shifted about 20% scaled the size about 60% and because Unclump still kept overlaps, I used the "REMOVE OVERLAPS" from the Align & Distribute panel where you can specify the space between them too! (Edit: And setting the font path as the clip group, you don't even need to remove any of the clones if you don't mind the fill shape being clipped.)
@@LogosByNick I think @lpanebr is referring to the Tweak Tool with "move objects in random direction" mode. Before that, there is also the "unclump" button in the tiled clone panel that is very useful to reduce overlapping, just press it repeatedly
I have been wanting to do similar for a while now. Id like to create master shapes like you did, put have random dots trace the edge of the shape and work their way into the centre of the shape. I want to simulate Australian Aboriginal dot paintings but without having to manually do each dot. So very similar to your presentation, but more tracing pattern around the edges . I will then use my CNC machine to cut the holes and make a lamp. 😊
I'm getting just a square shape of clones without it tracing the bottom object. I have selected the trace and followed the steps you presented....what am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Hm, doing this manually is a no-go. I bet there is a way (Python script?) to programmatically distribute them randomly within the shape, while simultaneously not touching each other...
I'm guilty as the one who went this manually 😅 Well, it went smoothly though and still needs microadjusment with eyeballing. Might giving a python go after this.
Select all clones → Object to Path then hide the original. That would cancel the link relation though, so personally I just pull them off the main page to not make it visible in the output.
Helpful as always but oof could this be simplified. How have they not "borrowed" *AI's method for doing this by now? *Adobe Illustrator, not the misnomer for Machine Learning.
How would you do this in Ai? This does look unnecessarily complex, there should be a way to do it as an LPE where you link to a shape than tile-clone it with size, position and randomness adjustable.
I love Inkscape
I love the tutorials of Nick
We Love Inkscape
And Nick as well

I made a circle filled with Celtic shields using your instructions and the result was great, thank you!

You are my teacher ❤🎉
nick sir you rock.
Thanks, Nick. Awesome!
Thank you for this tutorial
To avoid/minimize manual adjustments, you can randomize Shift by about 20% and use the Unclump button to fix the overlaps.
I shifted about 20% scaled the size about 60% and because Unclump still kept overlaps, I used the "REMOVE OVERLAPS" from the Align & Distribute panel where you can specify the space between them too!

Thank you Nick. God bless you with abundance
6:12 if I'm not mistaken there's a brush that adds random translation that would be perfect to that.
I believe that would be the spray tool? I used that in a previous tutorial.

@@LogosByNick no, I looked it up. In inkscape-manuals readthedocs it's called Tweak tool.
grande Nick!!!!!!!!!!
thanks
Thanks Nic!
Very useful! Thank you.
thanks BRO

Same for me too
hello is it possible to determine the density? I would like random fill a rectangle with objects, but much less dense.
Hm, doing this manually is a no-go. I bet there is a way (Python script?) to programmatically distribute them randomly within the shape, while simultaneously not touching each other...
Maybe this can be achieved with a poisson disk
The sculpt tool can move multiple objects in random direction in a single movement of a mouse.
I'm guilty as the one who went this manually 😅

Very cool.
That was amazing! All though, I wish we have MS Word table tool in Inkscape.
I'm getting also a square shaped clone not inside the big shape. Did I miss any step?
Can we do many shaped clones inside too?
Is there a way to hide the original object without hiding the clones also?
Select all clones → Object to Path then hide the original. That would cancel the link relation though, so personally I just pull them off the main page to not make it visible in the output.
The new Inkscape has some issues, will we be seeing a video about it soon?
Especially when exporting in batch.
What problems have you been encountering?
Great tutorial, the object to use what is the format? SVG, PNG or Jpeg or we can use anything? Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello,
it worked very well. However, more settings need to be made, which is not shown in the video. Thank you very much anyway! 😀
I would be happy if you could make a vitorian lettering with ornaments
Problem " white gaps😌"
Please make a tutorial on 3D logo in Gimp plz plz plz plz plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Why does it make a group of 1 object you then have to ungroup? That is so illogical...
Boom Baby

(in theory, I don't think it's possible with the current version)
Thanks for you work. Why is inkskape not as popular in the vector world as Blender is in 3D? Is it so backward in compared to Adobe Illustrator?
