    Almost two years ago I was picking up several tutorials to practice, including the ones from Inkscape. When I found a cool effect, I took screenshots and saved the links to the tutorials I accessed.

    But there is an effect of which I only have nothing but a screenshot... so I don't remember the steps I took to make it! I don't know if I made it from a circle, a line... Can anyone give me any clues?

    I think if you have a look at Marco Riva's channel on Youtube

    I have used the same values as in the screenshot.

    • inklinea: Marco Riva! Reminded me of this channel, now...

    • Marcos González: the video you posted is not running in my Firefox...

     

    I tested the effect... but I didn't get the same result as my original screenshot:

    Well, I'm sorry. Maybe you can download it.

    • Marcos González: Firefox says the file is corrupt...

    Strange, I see it fine in Opera and Chromium, I don't have other browsers.

    When I click on the attachment, the page opens stating that the file is corrupt. Even me right clicking and choosing "Save Video"... it doesn't download.

    But did you manage to do the same effect as my original screenshot? If you did, explain what object you made it from. I tried doing it with a circle, converted to path... and it didn't work.

    Make two concentric circles with stroke and no fill, combine them ( path-combine or CTRL+K ) and use the same effect as the capture. The result will be very similar.

    Guerreiro64,

    With Windows 10, unable to play the stitch.mp4 with Movie & TV. I was able to play with VLC.It is very well explained (thanks Marcos Gonzales)

    And then I had fun.because by repeating the same effect on the result with other parameters, I got a hairy thing:

    @french_80 Nice! And you're right, VLC can handle any file 😄

    @Guerreiro64 I record them with a program called Kazan in Linux Mint. Maybe there is incompatibility with Windows, I don't know.

    Would recommend having mpv available in Linux and Windows - plays a lot of formats, and has some very useful keyboard shortcuts.

    Like [ ] for speed up slow down and 6 for increase gamma.

    I got now that Marcos González mentioned the circles. However, to be more similar to my original result, it was necessary to resize the inner circle and make it larger than the outer circle. Then I increased the thickness of the strokes.

    As for the video, I don't think the problem is Windows10: it simply doesn't play in Firefox and I can't even download it from it. To play videos I use the good old MPC-HC, my favorite. I have VLC too, but I rarely use it. And for video editing I use Shotcut: even my two video tutorials were edited in it.

    @Guerreiro64 Great! Yes, that also happened to me, but if instead of changing the values in end edge variance you change them in star edge variance, you get the same result 😊

    With this effect, we quickly become addicted because it's magic the results obtained when we have another path and we click on the icon "Link to the path contained in the clipboard"😊

    Truth!  😃 There's this tutorial that shows an interesting variant of the effect.
