Re: [Inkscape-user] "phantom" objects in .svg files
There are a couple of .svg "renderers" for blender (and I think they were probably the scripts you are talking about). I have only played with one of them very briefly. Seemed to work okay, but I can't remember what it was called, and I seem to remember it being kinda buggy, it was probably a year ago that I tried this. Other than that, I can't help you much. But yes, what little I did do was interesting. Blender also had, or used to have, a feature that would export a UV map as an .svg file.
One thing that I have found interesting to do is to make some text (or whatever) in Inkscape, import it into Blender, and then apply a lattice modifier to it. You can deform text into some interesting shapes (and it works better than the Inkscape node sculpting thing), then render a .png file in Blender and then import that back into Inkscape and run trace bitmap on it.
Blender does have it's own built in text capability, but I find it a lot easer to work with text in Inkscape, then import it into Blender for "3D-ifying".
Another neat trick is to make a sort of "sheet" with text cut out of it, then import that into Blender, so you have a large surface with a text shaped hole in the middle. You can then animate a light shining through that hole using the halo feature available with Blender's lighting options. This creates a really cool backlit text effect.
I have also just started to experiment with using Blender's "hooks" feature to animate imported Inkscape .svg files. There are a lot of interesting possibilities there.

Do you have experience with EXPORTING from Blender into Inkscape? There seem to be a couple of scripts out there that seem to do this, apart from that they don't...? Blender & Inkscape could be a realy interesting combination. One could create a 3d-wireframe in Blender, find a nice perspective and then fill it in in Inkscape, hence retrieving a vector-drawing from it.

I am just curious: When you delete an object

actually get rid of the associated XML, or just not
display it any more?
I do a lot of stuff in Inkscape and then import the
.svg into Blender for
extrusion, etc. I find that sometimes I get
"extra" objects in Blender when I
do this, i.e., the object that was deleted.
...and I am just wondering where these objects come
from...
