Sixty Hours of Terror Editor’s Note—This is the last in a four-part series [1, 2, 3, 4] on the November 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai.

A commando slides toward the roof of Nariman House (Vinukumar Ranganathan). Indian television crews were carrying everything live, and Imran’s handlers in Pakistan were watching, reporting what they could see. Handler: Fifteen men have climbed down on your rooftop right now. Imran: They are standing in front of the windows as well. Handler: What are you saying? Imran: They are firing in the front. For several heated minutes, the gunman and the handler debated a strategy to protect their position. Handler 2: You do this. Imran: Okay, we will go, remembering the name of Allah.
How it's made: create a RPG map element with Inkscape Preamble It's been a while since I wrote a tutorial (in fact quite a while, as "wrote" != "published") and that was for good reason: I was not able to come with a tutorial fitting the rest of my my tutorial site and did not want to break the tradition . So it was a hard decision to write this piece, which comes as a conclusion to my quest to create a RPG tileset of over 50 clipart images, a decision I made mostly because I already was asked about how I made the images and expect even more questions in the future. This is not exactly a tutorial, is more a "'how it's made" (or "making of"), the steps below are an illustration of my Inkscape workflow used to create the clipart set, I won't pretend this is the best process, or even a good or simple process, is exactly that: an illustration of my own workflow. On the course of this process a simple building, a jailhouse will be drawn, starting with the black and white contours, adding a number of small details and finishing with coloring.

This release also provides the 3D graphics community and the developer community with a preview of the functions that this human modelling application will provide.

Articles: Drawing volumetric objects in Inkscape - Libre Graphics World With this Inkscape tutorial you will learn to draw a 3D looking snowman, but ultimately you will get a grasp of creating shadows and reflections the right way. Inkscape is a relatively young yet fast evolving generic vector graphics editor in the lines of Adobe Illustrator and Corel DRAW. The application can be run on Linux, Windows and Mac and it's freely distributable along with source code. I'm going to show you how to use this great application to create 3D looking images and I'll use my snowman postcard as an example. For a start let's create very basic shapes and play with them. Here I started drawing snow balls and eyes from ellipses, then I used arcs of ellipses to create bottom and top edge of the bucket. Inkscape 0.47 features path outline highlight upon hovering it with Node tool. Let's keep drawing. However, in most cases you really want dragging color stop and changing their colors right on canvas. Unfortunately, there is a number of other limitations. That's about it.
