Hi!
I've been playing with the trial version of Affinity Designer for a while and I must say I'm loving it! :wub: However, when testing all the tools I normally use in Illustrator, there's three features that I often use but can't seem to find in Designer...
1. Pattern creation - In Illustrator, I can make any vectorial shape I make or image I embed into a pattern. It's as easy as dragging the shape/image to the Swatches panel, and voila. How is this done in Affinity Designer?
2. Gradient brush - Likewise, in Illustrator I can turn a rectangle containing a gradient into a brush. This is very useful to create graphic elements like tubes, pipes, and shapes with that appearance. Is this possible with Affinity Designer?
3. Live Paint Bucket - Does Designer have a similar tool?
I'd love to know if these features are available in Designer, as I really want to switch to Serif and finally ditch Adobe's subscription! <_<
Thanks :)

Can Affinity Designer do this?
