Inkscapes Pointillism Filter - Dark Sky and Sun

Another post in my ABC exploration of Various Inkscape Filters !

#Inkscape has a #pointillism #filter in the #Distort menu.

Here's my experiment with it. I generated an Oblong and filled it with a very dark blue black and then applied the Pointillism Filter and then a gradient. This make me think of starry skies and wonder if it could be useful for science illustrations. Yes you would have to crop the edges but ...

You can see the possibilities to create a low resolution background thats not a memory hog and add edits and layers and objects? You don't have to have the sun. I'm also thinking you can flip the gradient around and have a starry sky BG and a blank area you can use for a foreground or higher layer? Another usage might be exporting to Gimp and applying the Supernova Filter ?

Oil Painting Filter in Inkscape

#OilPainting #filter #inkscape

Continuing my ABC order exploration of #inkscape #filters!

MMM this might be useful for illustrations if you want to suggest somehow letters have become blurred or soften shapes to suggest a distant view ?  I also tried this over a gradient and a solid color and can't see much difference. Don't even think of trying it over anything but an ultra expanded or super heavy font. I tried 3 different fonts and the letters blurred and faded so much the demos were not ...instructive ... use with caution.

Neon Filter Demo - Inkscape

Here's a demo using #Inkscape of the #Neon #filter which is in the #Bevels section

I've given the 6 rather basic web safe colors a neutral gray background but you should experiment with other colors for text and background !

The #font is #Bauhaus
