This is just a basic idea to get you started. You'll have to figure out the rest yourself, like using other distortion filters etc.
Be creative. Experiment!
As for the "linked remote control" group, that's a workaround for multi-nested layers becoming "hidden" in the layer stack. Like this you can "remote edit" the now hidden clipping path in the top "mask (Fill)" layer that itself is clipping the Pinch/Punch.
I remember listening to an interview of Ashley Hewson wherein he talked about the early days of development for the Affinity line. If I remembered correctly, development actually started on iOS, and as hardware was considerably weak then as compared to today’s standards, the current efficiency of Affinity (at least in Apple hardware) has a lot to do with those early experiences. Ash was talking about how they had to get graphics working well with very limited memory.
The point is that iPad was not really an additional platform, but Affinity was developed with it in mind right from the beginning, even though the iPad apps did come out later than the Mac versions. Windows was an additional platform (though I can only assume that Serif probably did intend to make Windows versions from the beginning), and it no doubt took a considerable amount of effort to bring the apps to that different platform. However, the profit potential for that market made the effort worth it when weighed against the resources available to Serif.
I would not be surprised if Android does eventually get some apps from Serif. In my estimation, it is just a question of timing. As a company, it is reasonable that they will go where the money is. As the company grows, and as sales of their existing offerings starts to reach saturation, they will naturally ask where they can go next and whether they have or can get the resources to launch off into new territory. Right now, they still do not have Publisher on iPad, and as that is one of their existing markets and an easier goal to obtain than launching any of the Affinity line on additional platform, I would expect that they would prioritize rounding out the trilogy on iPad as their next step.
These are all just observations from the outside. You can be sure that Serif has had discussions about which platforms to support and their roadmap for when or if they hope to support such and such a platform. I have merely tried to suggest what seems to be a plausible explanation for what we have seen so far.
Hey,
an eraser tool for vector brushes would be great. Just like a pixel brush this would then have a certain width. Each vector brush line will then be cut directly where the eraser hits it and a new point will be created to cut the vector line correctly.
Thanks for considering...
Best Regards

I’d love to see a vector eraser tool. Such a tool was listed on the Affinity Designer Feature Roadmap before it was hidden from public view, indicating that the developers intended to add it during the 1.x development cycle, but we’ve no way of knowing whether their plans have changed.
