Long Shadow Text Effect with Inkscape

In this tutorial we'll be going over how to create a 3D-iso-metric-style long shadow text effect with an aged texture going over it.
This is mostly accomplished using the Extrude extension, but we'll also be making use of layer blend modes in Inkscape for the first time.

    Question: The Text Tool When I create text and use the text tool, I can select font sizes by points. I can also change the font size by dragging a corner of the text. Is there a fundamental difference between these two methods? Should I prefer one over the other?

  • @LogosByNick

    There's no difference. The text size inputs are good if you need your text to be a specific size, but the transformation handles are good if you want to quickly freehand scale your text.
