Mixbox colour mixing is very realistic
Imonobor replied to moi.cool's topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer V1 on Desktop
Is there any way to use this in Affinity Photo currently or do we have to wait for Affinity to add it? -

Line width control

Aaaand 2 years and one major release that required a re-purchase later, we still don't have this core feature. /sad If your calculator app doesn't have multiplication and division, but you spend all your development time on the UI, you're doing something wrong, Serif. -
A quick message to Serif, if you think you can just "wait out the storm", while keeping radio silence, that may be so, but there may be no userbase left after the storm is over. When there are page-long threads about the same issues everyone is having and everyone is unhappy with your latest choices, I think it's high time you did something about it, or at the very least acknowledge the problem, don't you think?

Serif, what the frick? Literally show me ONE user post saying "hey I wish the programs installed as apps so I have absolutely no control over anything on my pc and wish my programs don't even work". This is exactly what we mean when we say you don't listen to your community - you don't implement features they want, you implement ones you "think" we want. This "you think you do but you don't" mentality will not serve you well - it will repulse your userbase and they will go to the competing suites instead, as we have seen a lot of people in this thread have already done. Every basic feature you don't have, but your competition does is a reason for a user to switch over. And instead of implementing those basic features, you waste time and resources implementing what is essentially stripping the control your users have over their OWN software and OS, following in Microsoft's horrible example. This is a huge no-no. I don't think I'll be buying V2 any time soon either. I think the real reason they did this is DRM, but here is a reality check - people will find a way to pirate your software either way. Making regular users suffer for it is a terrible practice, because it will push more of them to pirate it without the horrible DRM you put in. I have diasabled Windoze Store on all my windows installations, so I'm not even able to try out your demo so I can decide if I want to buy it, how is that a good marketing practice?! And think of the linux users that have been asking for Linux support all these years, and instead you just shove the software deeper in Micro$oft's clutches, so they have even less of a chance to emulate it. I honestly hope you can see how much this change hurts your software and give us a regular exe installer. Otherwise I fear Affinity V2 will flop spectacularly, which is would be a shame.

Same. Add the basic features the community has been asking for since 2019, then I'll consider re-buying your software, Serif. Honestly, I'm kinda happy that they're making some progress with releasing V2, but it does not meet expectations for a new release. It's definitely better than the radio silence we had for months (years?) though. But still, what I think Serif needs is to be more transparent with their community. Respond to posts more, let us know what features are in the works, and explain why some aren't and when they will be. I think there should be some kind of "Patreon-like" monthly subscription where users that want to can fund the development of Affinity software, and get some perks for it - like the ability to vote on features. This would solve 2 problems - insufficient funding, because of their single-purchase model, and the community feeling left out of the development process. I think it would be pretty good for everyone all around. -

This is exactly the problem. They don't share ANYTHING with their community. "Neglect" is the exact word I'd use for their attitude towards their own community - they seldom even acknowledge our existence. At first when I bought Designer I was so hyped, because it was *ALMOST* exactly what I was looking for, with some more work and features it would have been perfect. It's so frustrating to see them get so close, but fall short of expectations, and just sit on their thumbs and keeping silent all the time. A roadmap would be awesome to have, or even little teasers about what they're working on would do. Instead all we get is radio silence. Certainly makes me lose interest. -

More than three years later, we still don't have anything like that. You know it's useless to have a Suggestions forum when none of these suggestions ever get implemented, right? I'm honestly very disappointed in Serif, their software has such great potential, but they REFUSE to listen to their community and add the features that could make it rival industry standard software suites. The suggestions forum is FULL of threads from 2019 that request basic features that are STILL not implemented, with no plans to implement them either. I just feel like Designer hasn't been updated since then, I just don't see any noticeable difference in the feature set. -
I found a couple of videos and scripts that generate real Voronoi patterns from points, but they are all for Adobe Illustrator. Guess I'll use that then. @Old Bruce @Alfred The pattern I have is not "regular" at all - the points are placed seemingly randomly (athough I did follow certain mathematical calculations), so the end result won't have any regular hexagons or pentagons, besides the central one. I'll post it here once (and if I'm able to) I make it. But doing this manually is just not something a sane person would try to do.

@NotMyFault Sorry, I need it to be this precise pattern. I did it mostly with geometry and maths - made a line of dots, spaced them evenly and started duplicating and rotating some of them, ended up with this. I've attached the file if you want it. @MEB Thanks for the answer, I'll look into doing this kind of thing in blender. Is it possible to import the vertex "vectors" from planes in blender back to curves in Affinity Designer? Also, the thing I'm trying to do is called Voronoi Diagram apparently - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram Circle.afdesign

@GarryP Well, it doesn't have to be calculated in such a caveman way. It could be an algorithm that calculates where the "seams" between these objects (or even just the centerpoints of the objects, they don't have to be seen as circles, just points) are and split a larger circle shape by these seams. I just don't know if such an algorithm exists or is possible to do in the program.

Hello! I have this grid of dots that I want to expand, so they take up all the white space between them, while not colliding into eachother (which means they won't be circles anymore, but weird hexagon-ish shapes, depending on how many neighbors they have, except the outermost circles that would still be circles on the outside, albeit bigger ones). Kinda similar to what Substance Painter does with unused parts of the texture, so there are no seams around the edges, but in vector. Basically divide the white space to the objects evenly, while keeping them separate objects, so I can color them differently and make a mosaic. Does anyone know what this "technique" is called so I can search it better or know a way to achieve it in Designer? Thanks in advance!
