Equivalent to Illustrator's Gradient Mesh?
Hi - I've finally gotten more comfortable with Inkscape's gradient tool (although I miss the interface of Illustrator's gradient editor), but I'm wondering if there's any equivalent in Inkscape to Illustrator's gradient mesh tool?
For more explanation of the mesh tool, see here: http://www.magicalbutterfly.com/tutorials/meshtutorial/meshtutpage3.htm

Yep! I'd love to see this in Inkscape as well! :-) I used it a few years ago, when using CorelDRAW, and it's pretty nice!

It is already added to my TODO list, but it is long and the next months I am working on my GSoC project... I'll try to get this in 0.47 ok? ;-)

Has an issue been filled ? I'm new to Inkscape development and wonder if we can vote for feature requests, bugs to fix...

We're actively working with the W3C to negotiate a specification for mesh gradients in SVG.

Unfortunately right now the best way we can implement it at present is a blurred mesh of polygons, which is going to be fairly slow to render, and it won't be a real fill.
To do right, it's something we need some support from the SVG folks on; the minimum requirement is simply triangle mesh gradients in SVG; they would be easy to implement and accelerate in hardware, and the other mesh gradient types can be simulated in terms of them without too much expense.
