Since you know that Blender can also import SVG files you know you won't have to re-draw the logo again. You move over to Blender (which can be downloaded from here). So you step up again and bring in the heavy guns. Just changing an angle slightly will cause a lot of hassle unless you've set everything up just right. Whilst you know that Inkscape can produce some fantastic looking 3D effects you realise that any further changes the client might want will take a long time to alter in your Inkscape drawing. The client likes it but they were wanting "something really 3D, you know?". Draw a trapezoid shape with the left-hand side shorter than the right-hand side and use Extensions → Modify Path → Perspective to give the logo a perspective look - figure 6.You also want to make it look a bit more "3D". These all look good but you decide to go with the "Button" version. Next you try using a "Shadows / Cutout Glow", which also looks nice - figure 5.This looks okay but you try the "Bevel / Raised Border" filter instead and get something that also looks nice but in a different way - figure 4.Apply the "Bevel / Button" filter to the logo, edit the filter and change the Specular Lighting Light Source to a Spot Light to get a nice "3D" effect - figure 3.Check that everything looks okay but keep the whole logo grouped.Export the logo as an SVG from Scribus.But you also know that Scribus can save pages as SVG files which Inkscape can handle so you don't need to start drawing the logo all over again. You move over to Inkscape, which can be downloaded from here. Knowing, as you do, that the Scribus graphics tools are good, but they can't cope with very complicated effects very easily, you decide to take this to the next level. The client says: "It's nice but we were expecting something a bit more '3D'". You now have a "lit" version of the logo - figure 2. Do the same for the other shape, and then the same for the ring.Move the gradient's vector to a diagonal top-left to bottom-right, within the border of the outer ring.Change the fill of the top shape to be a free radial gradient between the lightest blue and the shape's original colour.Create a new colour of even lighter blue (almost white).The client likes the idea but: "Can it be made a bit more 'dynamic' to show light shining onto it?"
