Creating a Cup of Coffe with Inkscape 0.47 Stable Version

Posted by Aryo Banyu Bening on Thursday, March 4, 2010Sunday, February 21, 2010Thursday, December 10, 2009

Open inkscape stabel version 0:47, If you do not have Inkscape download the application in there www.inkscape.org/download/ Inkscape for Windos version MAC OS and Linux.

Before we get started to create, lets take look at the end result of vector images that we will make is like below, you can download the source of inkscape file http://www.box.net/shared/ykashteasn, to make it easily in just a few steps, the steps to create an image of a cup of coffee is good as well refer to the following :



Step 1.  Open Inkscape stable 047 version, then create a new document as the default size.
Step 2.  Make a circle like the image below, its function as a coffee cup base that we will create. made in accordance with the first image and further explanation will be described later.

Now we need to change the fill and stroke (outline) colors, so select your ellipse and open up the Fill and Stroke dialog window by going to Object > Fill and Stroke (Ctrl + Shift + F). On the Stroke paint tab click the "X" button to eliminate the outline on this shape.

Step 3.  Create an elliptical 3 fruits with different colors, then stacking these 3 fit ellipse in the figure to almost form a base of a cup of coffee. 
 
Step 4. next make a gradient as shown below by using the gradient tool. made to look realistic images using 2 colors of different gray.

  

Step 5. We'll begin by drawing two shapes with the Bezier Curves tool (Shift + F6). Make one for the face of the coffee cup and one to form the outer rim of the cup. These shapes need to match up in width and the amount of curve. I recommend that you turn on the grid to help you draw these lines (Shift + #). Also note, Click to create a point, click and drag to create a curve.

I actually drew these shapes in place on top of each other, but I separated them in this screenshot to show how I drew the shapes and their curves. Notice that both shapes and their curve lengths are 20 units wide. Also, notice how the bottom of the rim matches the top of the cup face; They are both 2 units deep. For guidance, the numbers in blue show the order in which I created the points/curves.


Step 6. With the grid still on, place the rim directly on top of the cup face. Eliminate the stroke from both shapes. Fill the rim shape (that looks like an ellipse) with a solid color gray (e6e6e6ff). Fill the cup face with a radial gradient that goes from ecececff at the center to bdbdbdff. Then place the center of the gradient near the top of the cup shape, as shown below.

 
Step 7. Duplicate the rim shape and scale it in a little bit to form the width of the rim. Give this shape a thin gray stroke (d6d6d6ff) and a radial gradient from ecececff to bdbdbdff. Then drag the gradient handles to match the picture below.
 
Step 8. then make the 3 components according Screenshoot appear on the bottom, then collated to form into a cup shape.
 
Step 9 So here's the method I came up with that worked quite well. Create an ellipse with about the same proportions as the coffee cup rim. Then fill it with any color (no stroke). Now duplicate that ellipse, place it below the first one, and pull the bottom drag handle down a little bit. Then push the sides in some too. I colored my ellipses two different colors so you can see how this should look.

 
Step 10.  Select both ellipses and choose Path > Difference (Ctrl + Minus Sign) from the menu. Presto! You now have a beautiful vanishing curve. Fill your new shape with whatever color you prefer. Duplicate it as many times as you want. Then place it on top of your coffee cup wherever you choose.
 
Step 11.  Now let's create a wispy trail of steam. Create a shape with the Bezier tool like the one below. Color it a light brown or gold color, make it semi-transparent and blur it also. Play around with the Master Opacity and Blur settings until it looks just right.

Our coffee cup is finished! As with the saucer, you may find it handy to group all the shapes that comprise the cup.
 
Step 12.

10 easy ways Create a simple emoticon use macromedia flash 8

Posted by Aryo Banyu Bening on Thursday, March 4, 2010Sunday, February 21, 2010Thursday, December 10, 2009

Macromedia Flash 8 can be used to create a simple emoticons, with 10 easy steps.

1. Open the program Macromedia Flash 8.



2. Create a new document sized 32 x 32 pixels or 48 x 48 pixels, in  this tutorial I use a size 48 x 48 pixels. by clicking Modify > Document, the contents of the size Dimensions 48 x 48 pixels or 32 x 32 pixels according to the size you want. as shown in the picture below. then click OK.



3. to assist in making the character an icon, display the grid by clicking the menu View> Grid and then select Show Grid, or by using keyboard shortcuts (ctrl + '). to set the width of pixels in the grid, click View> Grid> Edit Grid> then enter the 4 x 4 pixels as shown in the picture below.





4. Rename Layer 1 to "emo1" to avoid confusion later on, how to change the name is to right click on layer 1 or double-click on layer 1 and then replace it with emo1. continue with the next step.







5. The next step is to create a circle using the Oval Tool to use this tool can be done by pressing the button (O) or by clicking the icon Oval circle tool. then drop and drag the mouse while pressing (Shift) so that the circle is made to be perfect. as shown in the picture below.




6. Fill in the circle that was created with a color that coordinates with our desires, in this tutorial I use the color (# ffcc33). to color objects using Paint Bucket Tool (K) and enter into the circle and then select all objects that have been in color and change the graphic symbol by clicking Modify> Convert to symbol or by pressing (F8), then insert the name and select emo1 graphic then OK, then the symbol that has been made will be in the library box. so that objects that are at the stage we can remove, take it easy because the object is already stored securely on the box so that the library will not be lost.





7. The next step is to get eyeballs to emoticons, using the oval tool for a small circle. then transformed into a Graphic symbol as the previous way and name the "eyes" of the column name. the result will look like the picture below.




8. The next step is to make the mouth of emoticons that are smiling broadly. how to make a square using rectangle tool by pressing (R) and then make to the bottom of the box in a semicircle with the selection tool (V) drag and drop these lines was made to a line formed in such a way that it looked like the picture below, then the same as in previous step conversion of objects we have created into a symbol way as in the previous step and remove the objects on stage as well as in the previous step, this will not delete the object we have created because it was stored in the library.




9. all components are made so that the next step is to install all the components or objects that we created earlier. drag n drop the existing objects in the library box and then collated to form an emoticon with a tooth missing (I deliberately made that way hehehehe) as shown below




10 the last step is to export a gif format * way is to click File> Export> Export image and named according to the desired file and then save. and we upload emoticons that we make to the hosting and ready for use.

completed and may be useful
