[Real Perspetive Mockup with AD]

Yep total bullshit ^^

 

@MEB tells the truth and I thinks this is the unreleased  function in AD, because I don't think affinity team will design two different ways to do the perspective action right? but maybe they will... who knows :D

 

ps. Cancel source file sharing is a bullshit totally ;)

[Real Perspetive Mockup with AD]

Interesting, it seems that no one cares about perspetive in AD, 24 hour got 0 view  :( 

maybe AP users more than AD users here?

no idea, I think this is the coolest thing I've found.

so I decide to cancel source file sharing after next 24 hour - to make it great again :D

[Convert .afdesign to .psd format]

yeah directly exporting as PSD is possible as @verysame described,   I guess its more about preserving text layers?

 

Yes, directly exporting as PSD will lost all text information.

[Convert .afdesign to .psd format]

Last week I've been asked how to convert .afdesign file to .psd, here's the solution I found:

 

1. Export your design as .PDF from AffinityDesigner;

2. Use Adobe Illustrator open the exported pdf file and export as .PSD, done~

 

I've tried export eps/svg/pdf from AD, strongly suggest export as pdf.

This is pretty cool though! :) Thanks for sharing. 

 

I’m glad you like it  :lol: 

[Real Perspetive Mockup with AD]

 Hi, it's me, wavef again.

 

I've made a Real-Perspetive (not shear things) mockup in AD and you can see the demo in the gif below ( ad source file provided ).

 

it's a unreleased and unstable function in AD, maybe crash your app, damage your un-saved files, blow up your computer~ I don't know.

 

And you may notice "Mockup-3" in the demo has some render issus and it also bring that problem to the exported bitmap, that's why it's unreleased.

 

Keep in mind DO NOT copy and paste anything from this file to your working project !!!

[Mebal ball effect play with AD]

Being inspired when playing 3D Layer Effect, so I've made this mebal ball just for fun, source file attached so everyone can see how to do this -- useless skill :)

[AD - Force artboard position and size as integer]

I'm always seeing artboard slice size going wrong just like 1600 -> 1601 or 1599, I think force artboard position and size as integer will help a lot, and non-integer doesn't make sense for artboards.

[AD - Auto set to new position when create/duplicate artboard.]

For now when copy&paste artboard, it's at the same position as the orginal, hopefully add this little feature.

[Embedded document - visit parent document pallette]

Hope embedded document can visit parent document pallette

[Convert selected object to Embedded Document]

Convert selected object to Embedded Document, so can easily to make a states-change object.

[Remove switch to Tint mode when apply global color]

Pls remove switch to tint mode when apply global color to shape, it makes me disgusted switch back to color wheel EVERYTIME, now I'm trying to not use global color because it'll distract me.

[Share "User Variables" for all slices]

Really need this to add ".9" suffix for slices in different path, but when use "replace export setup", path setting will also be replaced :(

[AD - sharpen filter]

Sometime I will import bitmap into AD for design, but when the bitmap look blurry, it's no way to make it sharpen in AD, I also buy AP but I think AD player will need this little filter, and I am not happy with switch to AP for this little sharpen work everytime, and~switch always make app crash.

[Hold down Ctrl key to hide bounds temporary]

It's difficult to draw a cirle at the same position of a rectangle when the rectangle was selected, because the blue bounds will block the drawing operation, setting a key for hide the bounds temporary would be helpful.

[Can't edit children in isolated group]

I am trying to draw an icon in isolation mode, but it seems to exit isolation mode when selecting node, even select shape in isolated group will take me out of isolation mode, wondering what's the value of this mode.

[Guides/ Guidelines]

double-click to set the guide line position value would be nice, and a global lock/unlock guides hotkey.

[export psd with font information]

when I export psd and mark with pxcook, I found there're no any font information in psd file, hope can add this feature to ad :)

[Perfect pixel-align bounds]

Pixel alignment is not perfect in Affinity Designer, in fact non pixel align situation is VERY EASY to happen.

 

When shapes align to TEXT object or, a integer position&size shape with a little ROTATION, it's position no longer integer.

 

I think AD should learn from Fireworks pixel alignment design, no matter cursor position, text/shape geometry, once user start to draw, all  objects' bounds should be treated as integer in pixel alignment mode.

 

Now we can turn off "snap to object bounding boxes" to make this happen, but it also make AD become useless, I think what we need is  "snap to pixel-align bounding boxes",

[3D dynamic chart with Affinity Designer]

Hey man i have a question how you add this adjusetment and final result ? :)

 

Hi guys I've update video tutorial link: 

hope you enjoy ;)

Thanks @MEB:)

[Hide the selection box handler temporary when press Ctrl key]

Now drag when hold down Alt will duplicate and move the shape, I think it's not necessary to bring the same function for Ctrl key, sometimes the selection box will block some shape which I want to select, or when object very small, I event can't drag it because the selection box handler was too big(even set to smallest size), so there's better has a key can temporary hide the selection box handler.

[Funny brush animation]

There's quite a lot of fun when playing with Affinity Designer, suddenly I got an idea on brush, here is my new try below, have fun :)

Fascinating stuff. Can you elaborate on how you achieved this?

 

Sure, maybe take a video tutorial for this later :)
