v_kyr Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 BTW the fan like object can also be made out of a gear/cog shape, afterwards converted to curves. The unwanted parts of it can then be deleted and adjusted/resized with the node tool as you showed before with your method. jer and Graphic&Design 2 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphic&Design Posted December 5, 2019 Author Share Posted December 5, 2019 Brilliant idea, it never occur to me. In that way is easier and you have more control over the shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jer Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Curiously, my AD 1.7.3 / Win 10 maxes the cloud shape out at 48 bubbles, and won't do the 70 your tutorial specifies. Tried a few things to force it without success, couldn't find a Preference to change, noticed my cloud radius is at 97% as is yours. Gave up and tried a work-around using the cog Shape tool instead that does allow me 70 cogs, then I rounded the heck out of the squared-off cogs and took the center hole radius to 0%, eliminating it. This resulted in the same shape you had for the badge in your tutorial. Sooo, I post this for anyone else that bumps into a 48-bubble max like I did. [FYI, my document is Print, Letter, 300 res, display in inches, Art board, although I don't see how it should matter.] Quote ♥ WIN 10 AD & AP ♥ Lenovo Legion Y520 15.6" Laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you tried to edit the associated cloud shape text/number field, aka double clicking on it and overtyping 48 with 70?

Yes, it would not stick. The slider stopped at 48. So I over-typed the 48 in the field with 70. When I hit "Enter" it deleted my 70 and reverted back to 48. I also started over, did not use the slider, and just over-typed the default with 70. It would not stick either.

jer Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 "Then it seems to behave differently on Windows as on MacOS ..." Thanks for your video. I did it just as you did but my 70 would not stick. Ah, well, using the Cog tool in place of the Cloud tool was more entertaining anyway. I don't believe I would have thought to use it if not for your post that it could be used to make the rays instead of the triangle, CTL-J, Rotate, Repeat manual method. Thanks for your initial post as well as trying to make sense of the 48-max problem. Maybe I should have simply tried restarting AD or Windows; you never know what that will fix.

Strange! - Good there are other shape tools like the cog tool for the rescue.
