[AD] Xtream Path tool

[felix.chern]

Xtream Path is one of my favorite plugin in illustrator. With Xtream Path I can easily create curves that fit my scanned scratch.

I know this tool from Von Glitschka's book. You guys should actually send him a copy of Affinity Designer and hear his comment.

I think he's tried it out, he commented on the UI colour scheme being too dark a few weeks back...

You can already edit a curve segment by dragging it, what other features do you use?

I agree with felix.chern.

 

Xtream Path way of easing spline manipulation is absolutely amazing.

I was surprised and disapointed when trying the beta this week of the lack of advanced spline maipulation in Affinity.

Xtream Path is the Third millenium way of drawing splines, while I feel like Affinity is currently duplicating the so old Illustrator way.

 

I suggest that at least you have a look at the manual (dowloadable here : https://www.cvalley.com/downloads ).

 

I beleive that after reading it or after playing with the plug-in itself for a few hours you will probably be eager to include this kind of functionnality in Affinity.
