Ice and Fog

I promised last time that I will be creating some sort of Fog effect in Inkscape, well here is one.



What's the ice for? I thought it is a good idea to create an object that will be the source for the fog. So I added an ice filter. Both filters are in OCAL and under one svg file, which I named Melting Ice Filter.

The fog effect although functional, the ice filter is the one that is really fascinating. "Cool" in every sense of the word. One can control the amount of ice and how "wet" the ice would look just by adjusting the Morphology and the last Gaussian Blur Primitives. See the example below.



Please leave a comment if you find this useful or you have some suggestions for improvement. Thanks. God bless...

Nice work made with Inkscape.

About ice text, you could get something even more realistic with another free software.

You could like to try it here:

So, click in "Ice" in left side menu to make some ice text.

Cheers!
