Creating 3D images in Inkscape is easily achieved using gradients, clip groups and a little blurring. With gradients, we are restricted to linear and radial gradients, which are perfect for a lot of shapes but sometimes we need to be able to create custom shape shading and highlight.

In this video, I demonstrate step by step how to use gradients, clip groups and blurring to achieve 3D shading effects for any shape.

In this tutorial, I’m using the latest version of Inkscape – Inkscape 1.2.2
