Diana Prince Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hi @Niblette, I stumbled upon something else. When I tried to convert simple lines (paths), ND III creates a world file without any objects. This is how it looks in Inkscape: This is in ND III: And this is the world file: {"valuetype":"float","objects":[{"n":"group","objects":]},{"n":"group","objects":]},{"n":"group","objects":]}]} Another thing: when I convert freehand curves or spirales, etc., there is a new line in the generated world file that "closes" the object. Am I doing anything wrong? It seems the path must always be "closed". Is there a way to avoid this? So that the spiral looks like in Inkscape and in ND III? Thank you in advance!

Niblette Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 Right now each vector outline needs to create at least three objects since that's the simplest object possible a triangle, I could change that it would need its own code to handle those vectors separate from the main code. I am not sure it really matters though or if there is a reason to create such simple shapes. Originally I had a second process for open and closed vectors but at some point I removed that since some optimization steps need the vector to be closed. Its something might be able to add back but you can simply delete the line that closes the shape and get the same output as if it was a open vector shape. There should be a new version coming out some maybe tonight but likely tomorrow that will make some settings accessible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Niblette, thanks for the response and clarification I just wanted to know if I was doing something wrong. It's no problem deleting the lines in world editor. Looking forward to the next version xoxo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niblette Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 The new version is out. It does two thing first it lets you combine points based on length so small line segments can be optimized better. I noticed some images were creating an excessive amount and in some cases this change can cut the file size in half without out reducing quality much. Second the program better supports open vectors and shouldn't create extra lines that will have to be removed. The program before had a hard coded minimum length value of 0.01 and now its set at 0.3, but cant be changed. Diana Prince and JenC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khallum Troy Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Cet outil à l'air vraiment super. C'est très intéressant. J'aimerais essayé, mais ça semble difficile. Serait-il possible d'avoir le tuto en Français s'il vous plait ? _________________________________ This tool looks really great. It is very interesting. I would like to try it, but it seems difficult. Would it be possible to have the tuto in French please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDUB Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 What Khallum said besides the French part. Maybe a youtube video? I need to create some simple signs so any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cajunsamantha Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Awesome work, Niblette! I'm having an issue when trying to create a world file, though. I can get the svg imported into Naughty Designer fine, and everything looks good there. I create the world file and everything seems ok. But when I try to load the world file in 3DX, nothing happens. The world I had loaded before stays there, and nothing new loads. I'm adding the svg and world files here so you can see if I did something wrong, if you get a chance. Thanks! Odd note, it wouldn't let me attach the svg here for some reason, so I put that in a rar file. 896672.world 896672.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana Prince Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) I removed this very small path in the svg file, this might mess up things. Then I made the whole image larger in Inkscape. In Naughty Designer I used the values in my screenshot, they were working ok. 896672_3.world 896672_2.zip Edited May 24, 2022 by Diana Prince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there something I should look for in the paths to prevent this? I'll try using the settings you have and see if things start working for me.

Niblette Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) Just check in the list of path that there aren't any tiny vector outlines and that each path is unified by under Path in Inkscape clicking Union. What's happens sometimes if your forcing the program to try to draw an impossible shape for it to represent with the thickness outline you have it will divide by zero and crash. If you get no output it means the program has crashed. I'll add exception handling soon so a popup appears with hopefully some helpful information about what happened rather then just nothing happening. Also I would really recommend using Inkscape 1.2 at least for me the older Inkscape seems to lag sometimes when I al using it now.

Diana Prince Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hi Niblette. Great to hear that you still improve the editor. It's the best tool ever and saved me literally hundreds of hours of building time Any chance that there will be a version that creates filled out shapes in the future? I know it must be incredible complex to calculate and create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through the paths on this one, and they all look ok. I went ahead and did Union on them anyway. Still running into the problem where it saves a world file that never loads in 3dx. Maybe part of the problem is that the entire image doesn't show in the preview window in Naughty Designer. I've resized the image down in Inkscape, but that seems to have no effect.

Niblette Posted May 26, 2022 Author Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) The issue isn't really with the SVG file although I did brake apart the palms so they draw correctly. The SVG you provided however did run for me but you have to be careful with the settings the toes are small and if you try to make the outline to thick they will crash the program. Also most of the time the output might be huge and you might need to look around to find it and since the file has a lot of outlines it might take a number of minutes to save it. If you try loading the file before it saves completely nothing will load. test2.zip Edited May 26, 2022 by Niblette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I though about it a bit and have also used the program a bit as well to see that it would be nice to get that working, but I have not put much work into it yet. Likely the next version will focus on adding inside and outside drawing options for outlines. Right now the program grows the vector outline an equal distance on both sides of it but, I want to rethink that and let people selected whether they want the outline completely inside the shape of the vector outline or completely outside as options.

And I still run into the problem where two shapes get connected by a line that I have to delete I'm 3dx. Is that because I'm not breaking the image correctly in Inkscape?

Niblette Posted May 27, 2022 Author Share Posted May 27, 2022 If there are any shapes that have cutout areas' those need to be broken apart, if they are not the program will try to connect them since it considers them one outline hence the extra lines.

What I'm doing is selecting the entire image, then hitting Break. Is there another "step" I should be doing when I do that? I've attached a couple more examples. When I break these, the paths don't look like it covers all the parts of the images. Makes me think I'm missing a step or messing up the break somehow. And thank u so much for all the help. I'm brand new to this and REALLY wanna learn SVGs.rar Edited May 28, 2022 by cajunsamantha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niblette Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Well what your doing should work I think, but what I do is shown in the image below. Really you also need to optimize the vector for the best results remove small paths and just clean them up a bit the programs only as good as its input and smoother simpler lines help a bit.

Ok, I'll try deleting anything that is a little too small to reduce the number of paths to see if that helps. Thanks, Niblette! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
