I'm not sure if this answers the question, but you can use the "Erase" blendmode at the bottom to use any vector shape as cutout to everything beneath it.
If you want to only affect one layer or a group, drag it into a group.

One thing that I am missing the most is a tool to roughen edges for vector curves, shapes, or anything. What I mean are tools like "roughen" or "scribble" in Illustrator, sadly nowhere to be found. My work often looks way too "clean", and workarounds either take up way too much time and effort, or just don't have the same effect.

Just adding my voice to this thread requesting this feature for the hundredth time.

Very much needed

yea i also want this feature

Yes! This tool has made my job so much easier with Illustrator. I'd love to see it on Designer.

Oh hey, I figured out a solution! Select the Group you want the texture layer on make it a "Symbol" in the Symbol window in Designer. Copy the Symbol Group and drag it as a clipping mask into the texture layer, like shown in the video above. Now any changes will be applied to both!

Thank you so much! This should fix my problem.
The only problem I have with this, though, is that any changes I make to the boat group will not automatically be applied to the clipping mask (if I place stuff outside the mask or change the form). This solution should work for this project, but I'm very open to finding a solution to not having to re-apply the mask, whether though an idea or through a future update.
But again, many thanks.

Learn how to actually use the Displacement Effect in Affinity Photo. Here are some awesome tricks to make it work and get great looking results.This quick fix for the broken Displacement Effect in Affinity Photo. With this solution you can get rid of the ugly outer edges. 
If you know my channel, you know that i always add some extra insights. So we are going to use the Blend Ranges and an ambient Light Layer to make it look even better and really create the illusion of a Text painted onto the wall.

I will be happy if you could add the "Shape Builder" tool to Affinity Designer like in Adobe illustrator it will be very helpful. This feature will go with Affinity Designer to the next level.
I hope that you will take my request into consideration. Thank you  

Ahoi Team!
Over the last years dozens of people have purchased your products, AD and AP by name, due to my recommendation: "The same or even better than PS or AI. The little what´s missing will come fast, trust me."
But i´m stuck with you. Quite embarrassing right, well, now?
Announcements and promises over YEARS and YEARS, i don´t know where to start. So many missing and often asked features (snoop around your own and other forums [fora, to be correct]): What is the value of an alternative to PS and AI, when i am regularly forced to go back for common simple tasks?
Guys, take € $ 50.- or 100.- or 150.- again from me and 10.000s others and get this thing working. OK? And do it fast.
Thx, KW
p.s.: I´m sure, that all owners will be OK with an extra payment from time to time. Declare and just be honest: "We need more money to beat the evil forces. Things develop, so must we, what is costly". Everyone will understand. 
I had the same task with my product: Too cheap. I doubled the price and i´m selling more than before. Placement.
25.- by discount? 3kg of somewhat good bread cost more. Don´t fool yourself: A real PS and AI alternative has to be more costly. No problem. Try my advice and get funds by owners (please no novel, just the truth in simple words - two lines) and raise the price.
But you have to deliver: Make huuugggee anouncements and implement the stuff real quickly. OK?

Still no invert vector mask in 2021??

Thank you Timo, this saved me today. 

Would be nice if the development team could give us a hint on when we can expect to have this function, or explain why this issue can't be solved, if that is the case.
