I do have the latest version of Inkscape installed on my desktop so here's hoping InkscapePortable isn't using any of my local files/libraries. Let me poke around and see if I can find a solution. The extrude extension appears to be working normally without error for me (Win7-64). I downloaded the latest version of InkscapePortable (0.48.2 r9819) from.

The final product should now look like that. Repeat the technique until you finish with all the letters. Round corners are more difficult and won't get the same effect as the corners. Do this to all corners in the text to create the extrusion. When you delete those nodes, you automatically create a line. Now that both shapes are combined, switch to the tool and zoom in.Ĭlick on the nodes between the two shapes as seen in the picture. Now Shift+Click the shifted black letters and Union them. Alt+Click the same spot to get to the black letters directly under the blue ones. Click on the top layer of letters which would be the blue ones. Right now it only looks like a drop shadow. For this example, I will just move it to the bottom right by an even amount of 2 right and 2 down. This duplicate is what will set the extrusion. Duplicate the black letters again and send it to the back again. Change the duplicate's color to black (or any other color other than the color of the main letters) and send it to the back (End). Select the letters and duplicate (Ctrl+D) them.
To make the extrusion, start by selecting the tool. You can change the color of the letters to simplify the next step. The Union step is optional if you'd like to extrude the letter individually, which may be the case if some parts will overlap. Convert to shape (Ctrl+Shift+C), Ungroup (Ctrl+Shift+G), and Union (Ctrl++).
3D effects work better on blockier fonts so avoid curved fonts.Īfter typing the font, make sure there is enough space between the letters. It doesn't have to be text because the technique works with any shape. Start by typing the letters you want to apply the effect to. It doesn't matter what size just as long as you can work with it. Combine the letters to one compound path by applying Path > Combine. Apply Path > Object to Path and Object > Ungroup to get separate ungrouped Bezier curves. The text stays editable in Inkscape with this transform, but you need an editable path for drawing. This tutorial will teach you to create 3D-looking text easily.įirst, start with a blank canvas. The text should have a solid fill color but no stroke. There's an easier way to achieve the effect that I learned. Unfortunately, all of the tutorials I've seen that create this effect are tedious or redundant. 3D effects can create emphasis, especially in text.
