[Award Winner] Tapered Rivers in GIMP

[Nauryl]

I'm actually looking for the same technique in Inkscape. I do it totally different, here's how:

Create the path for the river, then set up the Paintbrush tool to use a fuzzy circle brush, turn on "Fade out", and stroke the path with the Paintbrush tool. All I need to do is to play with the Fade out value, and then remove the fuzziness by playing with the Value curve in Color > Curves.

Anyways, the script is great

Clever idea with a fuzzy brush/fadeout and curves.

In Inkscape I sued to use: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...g-River-How-To

but it is simpler now with path effects.
