Render a bitmap Image using Tiled SVG Clones to create a nice effect
Awesome.
Hey this is really cool! I used it on my web site, it is so fun to play with
I LOVE YOUR TUTORIAL WEBSITE!
Well, that is one nice effect. It was the first tutorial I tried for inkscape (rather new to vector graphics) and I really like it as it is pretty easy on the one hand but has some sort of a wow-how-did-you-do-that response. Thanks.
Nice tutorial and a great effect. I’d never even used tiled clones before so this has given me a whole lot of fun stuff to play with.
That’s so cool
..
Thanks. It’s useful in logos.
Hi,
I don’t be able to make this tutorial.
I import BMP image.
I create a circle.
I select circle (or circle and BMP) and i make CLONE SERIES.
Don’t change noting aven if I hide the image. There is nothing below the BMP image.
Why?
Can you explain me where is the secret?
Sorry for my english.

Are you sure you link-cloned the circle, not normal cloned?
Great tutorial, thank you! I used it for my website on large text–put it up after some lightning effects and it looks great.
Its on the front page of mothershippc.com
Curious to see what other people did.
A small answer to Massimiliano,
You probably put the circle to far from your object, retry and then select all the area, you’ll see all the clone who should surround your object.
Hope this help and MANY THANKS FOR THIS WEBSITE WHICH IS REALLY GREAT AND HIGH-HIGH QUALITY, thanks for sharing
Extraodinario tutorial. Gracias.
Great tutorial. Thanks a lot.
This tutorial not at Sidux website anymore. Where can I find it?
Another broken link
Hi, actually I was looking for this function for photoshop a few days ago. Didn’t find a way to do it there. But by accident I found this tutorial.
Only I have a problem to get this working. If I select no color to fill my original tile, I don’t see nothing in the end. If I select a color, than at least opacity and size is changed according to the brightnes of my bitmap. Do you have any clue for a reason?
Tutorial Link appears to be broken, any update / backup ?
Thanks! I have updated this post with a link to a cached version of this tutorial on the Waybackmachine.
