Just for who's interested: Looks like this Tool ID feature to switch brushes by switching pens is already possible with Wacom since 2017!! And at least available in software since 5 years ago (!) as seen in this video by Aaron Rutten of 5 years ago where he literally does switch two wacom pens to switch brushes and talks about this in the video below (from tc 3'07"):

Thanks for the response. I have the same impression. Why should I search and find out what I already know, that it's already supported in other applications like Corel and Photoshop?! If you don't understand or believe it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. You search for it! [edit] FYI This is what Coral Painter says about the feature, which appearantly is called 'Tool ID' (I thought it was named 'Device ID', but it's basically the same thing): https://product.corel.com/help/Painter/540215550/Main/EN/Win-Documentation/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm#href=Corel-Painter-Wacom-Intuos-Support.html&single=true Anyway, thanks for the quick responses guys. It seems clear that Affinity doesn't support it.

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a second Wacom pen, because some software allows us to switch brushes by switching physical pens. So I'm trying to figure out what software actually supports this before buying. Does Affinity support this binding brushes to physical pens by device id?

Love the color scheme

No Dutch stamp series without 'boerenkool' with 'worst' though. ...or... Stamp-pot

It's probably already said in this thread somewhere (sorry if it is, I currenlty don't have time to read the amount of text here), but just in case it isn't: As I understand it you are trying to do 3d in affinity and have questions about it. But why not just use 3D software instead which is made for this, like Blender, instead? That's way easier and faster to do stuff like this. Even if you want your end result to be in Affinity it's still easier to use 3d software to get the right perspectives etc.

I've animated a drawing I made on paper 27 (!!) years ago in 1997. Did all the cutting, slicing and editing in Affinity Photo. Long live the Affinity Photo Clone Stamp, non-destructive vector masking and the great exporter which directly exports to Spine, which is just wonderful! 😀 I've used Esoteric Spine Pro to Animate it. Hope you like it! Original Drawing on Paper (scanned):

I wonder the same. I've never had any affinity app being slow (not v1, nor v2). Granted, I work on a pretty powerful pc now, but also when working on an older laptop it was always super fast as well. I never worked on machines without a dedicated GPU though, so that might be different. I believe having lots of fonts installed (at least on Windows) was problematic at the time when using v1 for some, so although I think this was fixed, it's still best to not have thousands of fonts installed on the computer in general and just turn them on or off in font software when needing them. So what I would check is: - Are you using a dedicated GPU (graphics card), like Nvidea? And is it turned on? - Make sure you don't have a huge amount of fonts installed. - Do you have enough memory? - Although with vectors resolution of the file shouldn't matter much, the amount of points (vertices) in the file does matter for performance. Normally this should never be a problem, but if for some reason you have everything hand drawn and have milions of points per curve that eventually all adds up system resources and so slows down the program. I'm not an expert on optimizing Affinity as I never encountered any lag-issue, but hope this still somewhat helps.

Thanks for the nice compliment Stuart. That's appreciated!

Last night I made a test drive on Rough Terrain with my new City Bus. Had to do it 🙂

I've completed designing, 3d modeling, surfacing/texturing and rigging a 3D City Bus for my upcoming Animation Short Film. Completely ready to animate, including rigs for the doors and to drive and steer the bus. Affinity Designer was used for all logo and texture designs. Here's a demo video

Hi y'all, Today I've published a new video with visuals for music I made recently. Graphics were designed in Affinity Designer and animated in Moho Pro. Don't forget to listen through headphones or with good bass bins Hope you like it!

Guess than it was a glitch in the matrix. Probably something went wrong with the internal x flux-processor multiplier pipeline tranquilizer. Makes the second video extra valuable to watch though

This is such a great use case and execution of using the spiral tool! Very inspiring! 😀
