[Vector Node manipulation]

I am pretty sure this was the feature I was looking for, so I think, we can close the topic? I don't know how that works.

Thank you for all the help!

It depends on your design. The more nodes, the harder it is. If you need more flexibility, use less nodes.

 

A very recent accidental comment by a staff member might have suggested otherwise.

Well, this looks kind of what I ment. I understand, that Designer does not know if the shape is an arm or a leg. But it should work with simple shapes i normally use.

Thank you!

Maybe it is more clear with an example. In the attached pic 1 I have the arm with its nodes. When I want to open the arm as seen in pic 2, I have to adjust every single node, until it looks good. But is there a feature where I just grab one node (pic 3) and drag it in the direction of the arrow, and affinity designer alters the rest of the nodes automaticaly, in position and allignment?

Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a feature in Affinity Designer, which I thought I already used but I can't find it anymore and I don't have the right words to search for it. So I'm trying my luck in here, hopefully someone can help me out.

I have a vector graphic where I want to move the arm step by step to export multiple frames to create an animated stop motion. Let's say the character is waving it's arm. When I grab one node of the arm and move it, the rest of the arm stays. Is there an option, where affinity adjusts the rest of the nodes while I move the one node, so I don't have to place all new nodes manually?

 

Does that makes sense? I hope someone out there can help me.

Greetings,

Johannes
