The blue one is the best.
 

Looks better and was actually fun to make...Illy means fighting with outlines and shading.
 
Do you know what stuff finding a new writer! I'm going to finish this book myself and get it into either print or make it into an interactive 'something' for iPad during 2016.

I chose Affinity Designer to learn how to render a real world object using a bottle of syrup. The lines were pretty easy to work with and with Designer's help, the project was easy to finish.
 
A .png comparing the photo with the render is attached to this message. The project file exceeded the size limit by a bit, so you can grab it at this link for now. I hope it helps someone else learn how great Designer can be for new users.

Thank you, MacGueurle!
 
I found this as well.

Just saw this a couple of days ago, a tutorial for newbies like me on how to 
Create a Friendly, Futuristic Robot in Affinity Designer 
:) 

Pixelmator is not even close to AP - I've got it but I always want to quit it after a few seconds!

I can't wait til you guys over at Affinity are able to implement the most bad-ass arrow  tool, so this thread can die already. I mean this thing better not only point, but it better be so dynamic when people use it they can't help but to cry because it so damn beautiful!
 
I want Tony to deliver a Keynote address in Steve Jobs attire. I would like  Tony to tell use this arrow tool is the "best one yet" I want him to tell us how amazing it is and how the competitors can't touch Affinity's proprietory arrow creation technology. When Tony unveils the demo I want to see white doves let out into the ski and confetti dropping from the heavens!
 
When everyone salivating and crying, hit them with the 5 dollar price hike for the arrow tool plugin it only seems right (says the guy waiting 4-5 weeks for his apple pencil) They will bitch and moan, but they will buy and like it. lol

I'll try getting the word out and we'll see how it goes. :)

As an X-Plane user and a Mac developer I have to take my hat off to “Austin Meyer”, the author of X-Plane for one major aspect. I do not know exactly what development environment he uses but the program is absolutely massive. My upgrade last night included over 41,000 files. To top that off X-Plane runs exactly the same on OS X, Windows and Linux.
 
I have no idea how he does it but I think he must have developed his own, entirely proprietary GUI that does not depend on any specific platform. All I know is it is one phenomenal piece of software and it works as advertised across three different platforms. The man is a genius in every sense. Sort of like the Affinity Team.

Too sad that it´s discontinued :/
But I´ve just looked for an old MB for running it with Linux and spotted a real steal. 4GB RAM, SSD and a 2,2GHz Prozessor and a new Keyboard and battery intact for 180€, so Mac does not have to be expensive. It was a MB 3.x though. And I was a minute to slow.
 
Just saying that you can get decent MB for reasonable prices so only OS X is not too bad at all....

If anyone can...Canonical can! B)
 
Let the cats see the penguin and get Affinity and Canonical together. I've used and enjoyed Ubuntu Meerkat prior to Pear OS 5 for several months, when WIn XP/7 was giving me headaches too :angry:  :wacko:). This is a good base as the Russians now have Ubuntu mobiles.

The 'Jaapie' is very much in charge!

Two years ago I bought my 2009 MBP for £400, refurbished, worth every penny.  :D  :D  :D
New WIntel machine? No thanks. 

Just my 2 cents.
 
Favourite Linux distro: Pear OS: free.
 
Favourite OS: Mac OS X: free ugrades.
Favourite hard drive recovery software: DiskDigger...legendary! If Stan Lee did HD recovery software! Free!!!!
 
Favourite Win software: Serif Plus ware. Paid for.
 
Favourite Mac art Software: Affinity of course! Paid for.
Favourite Mac Software: 4K video downloader. Paid for/free (Edit)
Favourite Mac music Software: Arturia ARP 2600 Emulator! Paid for/Free 20 min demo.
 
Favourite Mac console emulator: OpenEmu! Free.
 
So let's put the ethics question to bed, once and for all.
 
These people, have built these apps through blood, sweat and tears. They deserve thanks and respect and if they have the cheek to ask for payment: for the privilege of making your like easier/happier. Remember this...Do you want them to claim welfare/benefits/dole or do you want them to get a job, and stopping spongeing off the state. They also have gas/electric/food/mortgage/taxes to pay for.
 
We all deserve good apps/software.
 
We must show gratitude too, whether it's via WOM, online recommendations, like on FB/Twitter/Pinterest, 5* reviews or just a token donation. Either way, we should all be grateful for this and dump the politics.
 
...phew. :blink:

...and relax. -_-

Hi Andy, 
Has anyone from Serif spoken to Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu? 
They include commercial software in their Software Centre, unlike most GNU/Linux distros which adhere to FOSS. 
Paul. 

I've just spotted David Tavares' famous bitten pear, in your show reel (mirrored) from the lamented Linux Pear OS, were you a user of it? I was!
Looks like George has too...

Does it perhaps a simple store another file with a different name? Both files could then be opened as tabs.

I think you misunderstood me. I meant that i still remember this work from the first time you posted it a few months ago.
If there's anything that never gets me bored are cars!

I know this thread is old, but I got linked to it from my recent post regarding Affinity for Linux. I've been active in the open source community for years, but the lack of professional graphic software "forced" me to stick to Macs. I've had many discussions on how ethical or unethical closed source is, but let me give you insight from the end user's perspective: Frankly, no one gives a damn whether or not the software is GPL, as long as it gets the job done and is worth its price and distributing model. If there was a software solution that is open source and at least as good as its competitors, I'd be more than happy to use it, but not because it's free, but because it's good. Quality should be always before politics and ideology. That's what made some other open source projects very successful (Open Office, Firefox etc). 
 
Perhaps there could be ways to raise some funds to get this thing going. I can try to check different communities and see if people would be interested in this. Many use Linux already so maybe the user base might be bigger than we think. 

Hi,
 
Affinity is about, amongst other things, the "experience" of designing things.. 60fps, fluid navigation and editing of documents is at the heart of what we do.
 
WINE is a wonderful project, but I don't think it would work for Affinity - performance is close to native, but support for things like our use of OpenGL / input interaction would take some work. It also assumes a Windows build to map onto WINE libs - which we don't have. You have more chance of convincing us to make a native Linux version than a WINE one..
 
I won't rule out making a Linux version of Affinity, but I need someone to show me a combination of distro, desktop topology and deployment (paid) platform where we would recoup our development costs. If someone can show me that, I'll be willing to talk some more about it all..
 
Hope this helps,
 
AndyS

I got a like too, from this zombie. Link broken too.
 
Silver bullets: check.
Breach clear: check.
Magazine locked and loaded: check.
Safety set to forward: check. :ph34r:
 
Not another DEEDS? :angry:

Also at the top of the forum screen you will see tonyt, click on that and click on My content.
 
Or peter or whatever your name is. ;)

Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring. :)

Just found this on IMDB.com and the more I see this amazing collection: the more I see (imagine) Affinity at work...
