[Light circle in Affinity Designer]

Finish this totally in AD, use some filter, stroke to make custom brush, and continue fitler, blending, blablabla...

 

 

 

 

[3D dynamic chart with Affinity Designer]

Nice stuff. I din't knew this kind of 3d stuff was possible in AD.

 

It's just a trick.

[Just wondering how many people want this feature on Affinity Designer?]

Thanks, didn't notice that.

I guess Vector Perspective Transform is on the way? Hope to see it in 1.x.x :)

[[AD] Need Vector Perspective Transform.]

Agree, illustrator, sketch, fireworks... almost every vector paint software has this tool, I also see kinda transform in the official video, but actually it may be fake :(

[I want to save my studio settings]

If possible to save settings, layout, keyboard-shortcut and sync with account would be better ;)

[Path calculation bug and suggestions]

Thanks for reply :)

 

I know AffinityDesigner is more than Fireworks. Fireworks was born for web design and it's a old tool, but we can learn from it because there're so many features were borrowed by other tool, Ps/Sketch we can see Fw's shadow, the Shapes tool in AffinityDesigner looks like 'Auto Shapes' in Fireworks, but I am not asking AffinityDesigner become another Fireworks, I just hope to handle the paths more easily, create more shapes possibility with AffinityDesigner, because no matter we draw user interface, icons, illustration, we are doing 70% paths operation.

 

Hope to see GPU accelerate on windows version soon either ;)

[Path calculation bug and suggestions]

When I try to do the path substact, I'v got this result:

 

 

In fact, my friends told me that it will also happen when doing other path calculations.

 

I'm a Fireworks user and extension developer, so here's my suggestion:

 

 

Fireworks has a 'Path' panel which is very powerful and useful, and you can get all the source code by Fireworks 'History' panel, just try any functions on the Path panel with selected paths, then choose the step on the History panel, click the 'Copy steps to clipboard' button on the bottom right, now you get the source code, just paste to any text editor you will see the code.

 

 

And there're also many extensions of Fireworks were open source on johndunning's website, all developers can borrow ideas from these Fireworks Gurus ( It's not stealing code from others, they're open source, which make Fireworks to be a real powerful screen design tool in the world until Adobe become it's stepmother ).

 

I really hope Affinity Deisgner become better, I'm not teaching you how to wirte the code, no doubt of it you guys are profession on codeing, but... you know, that's why open source exist, to spread all excellent ideas to others.

 

Just hope to help, when Affinity Designer comes out, come take my wallet :)

 

sorry for my poor english :(
