Hi guys,
 
First time that i try  AP only to colorise a pic. I used it before only as an image editor. I gotta try it on iPad soon  Maybe i'll post a timelapse if i find the time.
 
 
 

Your pictures are simply wonderful to behold. I look on in envy. Keep up the fine work!

Really nice. I really like this sort of 'cartoony' style.

Nice pic Kevin

A reworking of another old illustration image in AD. Turns out I did the whole thing in CMYK and had to convert to RGB for web display at the end. I tried converting the AD file to RGB and it looked horrible (the colours suddenly looked too bright and unsubtle), so I didn't save it. It worked better when I converted the finished JPEB in AP. Would that be the proper way to convert?

Industrial photos and similar. Pentax K-70 + DAL 18-50mm, 50-200mm + Sigma 10-20 F3,5 EX DC+ Affinity Photo (win).

Nice to see another blender head in the forums, cool video and workflow. I have Dragonbones as well and it does look promising, haven't use it yet though...

Hi,
Another little character using AD, frankentoon, Blender and Spine. I think it needs some shadow on the top of the tank-track.
PS ( I added a timelapse a few posts lower
 
 

And voila a timelapse :
 

Cool!
 
I've got to get into animating some of my stuff. Thanks for the inspiration. :-)

Hi All 
Just thought I would have a rest from working on the Brush Library.. So I have been experimenting with isometric layout options in  AD over the past couple of weeks!

Hi guys,
 
Illustration from a summer screenprint serie. Half Affinity Designer, half Photo.
 
The capture was made afterward, rolling the saved history backward (neat function!).
 
Best,

Freid, 
 
In watching your video I did not catch the export out of Affinity Designer. I remember some time ago, I think the 1.5 beta that Serif had put in an export option for Spine? Is that what you use? I was curious how well that cuts down on set up time.

Jer,
For that particular animation the essential version would be enough. But we bough the pro version because we wanted to deform stufff :  this feature is what they call meshes deformation. You can do that (deform 'pictures' with bones). I find Spine a bit pricey. But its a nice software, it works.
 
Spine is different than many other animation tools because it can export dynamic animations and characters (or whatever you want to anim) to several  game engines, which means no need to pre render animations, the game engine will display, start or stop animations when needed. You can find different applications which can do the same kind of dynamic animations : dragon bones, creature...
You can also do those kind of animations and prerender it with for example anime studio  or even with a 3D app like Blender. Though the rigging would be often a bit more difficult in a 3D app.
There is also a very handy addon for blender that will bring you freely all (or most) to the animations/export features of spine. (see the video)
If you're a hobbyist, learn blender, you will be able to animate almost anything, its powerful and free. But you have to learn
Voila
Ah and i used pngs part to export from AD.
Il will really soon another timelapse video to show the whole process (affinity + Spine).

Maybe a shadow like that :

thank guys
 
Yep, Machinarium, love it, its a big influence, close to my own universe  : instant crush !
