Macros in our future?
2ddpainter replied to Don Johnson's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
@Don Johnson Maybe a Tool like AutoHotKey (Win only) could be helpful AutoHotKey can be used to automate program tasks in many programs. (useful if a Program have no Scripting build in) This allows keyboard shortcuts and mouse events to be sent to Affinity Designer, for example, which are then executed there.- 4 replies

2ddpainter replied to Dimenta's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
like to add, there are also a few online SVG wave generators and Processing could maybe also be helpful ? https://processing.org/examples/sinewave.html https://openprocessing.org/sketch/2096187 -
Data Merge text in a single text frame
2ddpainter replied to anto's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
@anto I am not shure if it's helpful, but when I read this post I thought you might want to check out "Nodebox 3" (PC/Mac) free. Nodebox is a program that allows you to create vector graphics using nodes. It also allows data entry as .csv the result can be saved as .SVG or .PDF. Here are some examples from their help page https://www.nodebox.net/node/documentation/using/data-visualization There is also an online version called “Nodebox Live”. -

Adobe present something interesting about that a while ago. Where the most interesting thing is that you can save the result as SVG. here the video -
Timelapse / Screen Recorder
2ddpainter replied to art.by.coli's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
"Screentogif" is a nice little Tool (PC only) which i use often to record screens Here a few alternatives for Mac https://alternativeto.net/software/screentogif/?platform=mac -
@saint77 Apart from the Work, one reason why there are more plugins for Windows is probably the number of Users and therefore the larger Buyer Base. I found these numbers here: ca 73% use Windows and ca 16% use MacOS. I'll leave it uncommented that only MacOS are ... THE platform for serious graphics designers and creative people ... But it leaves the question why the Affinity Suite is also available for Windows.

AI in Affinity
2ddpainter replied to Raven_DZ's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
agree with that In any case, people always try to get a feeling for something, be it painting, driving a car, dancing and of course digital painting. For anyone who wants to get an overview of what AI is. How AI is trained and where AI is used and will be used. There is a good video series on “The Royal Institute” Christmas lectures for kids. It's definitely not childish 🙂 Here are the Links: Ai Lecture 1 Ai Lecture 2 Ai Lecture 3 -
AI in Affinity
2ddpainter replied to Raven_DZ's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
@loukash " I need to feel the oily matter on my fingers because that's how I work." That's also the point I see. In my Eyes, no digital device comes close to the sensitivity of natural media. Even a simple pencil or ink brush allows so many different forms of expression in the hand of a well-trained artist. That's why Ai doesn't impress me. Even though it will probably find its way into many areas. But don't underestimate the possibilities of humans. Can recommend to anyone get to know and appreciate the human abilities properly. -
AI in Affinity
2ddpainter replied to Raven_DZ's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
@iconoclast the Problem is the Word Canvas of course you can create plain a canvas but Papers are special canvases where Watercolor, Oil react differently If you happy with the Papers that come with Rebelle than there is no need to buy Papers You can not create Papers yourself But a plain Canvas -

to come back to ai Anyone in need of a good free Upscaler here is one: Try "UpScayl" (PC/MAC/Linux and Online) It works with AI, upscals 4 time and 8 times, ( 8 times, will "really" take some time ) and have different modes. Is pretty good in my opion Here the LInk: UpScayl -
AI in Affinity
2ddpainter replied to Raven_DZ's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
@iconoclast As this is a thread about ai, just in short. I think Canvases are call Papers in Rebelle No. I am never in need to buy any, the ones that came with Rebelle was totally fine for me. Brushes. You can create your own there is a pretty good Brush Creator Feature in Rebelle. Even with double brushes. But i am no pro with that. -

2ddpainter replied to Raven_DZ's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Yes, you can purchase additional papers, but Rebelle comes with some papers. Is not necessary. (Have 8 here in Rebelle 7 Pro) I don't know where you've seen expensive brushes for Rebelle. I didn't find anything in the shop. (The only brushes in the shop are for “FlamePainter”) Stencils are free and are simple grayscale PNGs. It's easy to create your own ( you can also copy your Artrage stencils over to Rebelle ) Since Rebelle 7 it is now possible to import an SVG path. (works with SVGs from Affinity Designer too) If you activate this path in Rebelle, place it on the canvas your brush will follow then this path. (this works with all brushes, including erasers, Smudge, Liquify, Water and Drybrush) Due to poor UI design only one path/stencil can currently be active and visible on the canvas, I've already brought this up on the Rebelle Forum. The developers want to change this. An important Note: This Rebelle 7 update is not off to a good start, but the devs are in the process of fixing the bugs. I think it's worth giving them some time. Here a SVG Path from Affinity Designer Can anyone recommend to watch some Youtube videos about the new Features in Rebelle 7. -

@DragonWhimsy i get the point with Photobashing, good point understand that and of course nothing speaks against improvements -
Brush Engine
2ddpainter replied to Ruslan TV's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Just out of curiosity, why would you expect features of a Paint program from an, as the name already suggests "Affinity Photo" photo editing / image editing program ? Why dont use a paint program that already exist ? -
Unfortunately, I cannot answer such specific questions. So it's better to ask them in the Vectorstyler forum, where someone with better knowledge can answer you. But I can say that the splatter and pattern brush only works with vector objects and not with bitmaps. I know that both are possible in Xara. VectorStyler has a few Bitmap effects, but generally it is purely vector graphics based. And I would also say that it is not as fast as Xara. I have a copy of Magix Graphics Designer 16 and 19 (same as Xara) installed here. Which work without any major problems under Win 10. I bought the 16 version very cheaply on Steam. By the way, Black Fryday Sale is coming soon again.

@kirk23 in the meantime, it could be that you would be happy with "VectorStyler". Which offers vector Pattern Brush, Scatter Brush, Brush construct of grouped vector Objects. Brush creation even with Blend of two ore more Objects if you group the Blend Result. Take a look at the Tutorial from their Forum which i recommend in this Post. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/193688-real-vector-brush-for-paint-in-vector/#comment-1137552 btw. i know "Expression" and "Xara" too

@Benfischer in the meantime there is also a way via a little Tool Program on PC there is a Tool called "LazyNezumi" this allows different Rulers in every Program you could capture https://lazynezumi.com/rulers on Mac there is a Tool called "Hejstylus" https://hejstylus.com/features-in-detail the Ruler Section description is below the middle

Blend tool in Designer
2ddpainter replied to Athanasius Pernath's topic in Feedback for the Affinity V2 Suite of Products
Would also recommend to take a look at Cavalry (PC, Mac), its called the MoGraph for Vector graphics There is a free Version, you need only an account Instead of Export or Save you have to Render your result e. g. as .SVG but is basically the same Here their Website https://cavalry.scenegroup.co/- 122 replies

@JhonatanS My guess is that this won't be available in Affinity Designer any time soon. Alternatively, you could take a look at VectorStyler, which has many of the tools you want. Vector Brushes, Pattern Brush, Vector Eraser, Knife, Trim and Joint and a few more. As a unique Feature, it is even possible to convert a Blend of one or more Vector Objects into a Pattern Vector Brush. As this Tutorial here shows: https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/2089/playing-with-blend-in-pattern-brush

@Nigelum Hi In case you dont know there is vector graphics animation program called “Cavalry” (Mac/PC). There is also a free version, you just need to create an account. Instead of saving the results, they need to be rendered. You can also export an SVG file (also via rendered). Here the Link: https://cavalry.scenegroup.co/
