v_kyr Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Sadly Designer itself hasn't yet any support for various free form vector distortions, so it's one of the missing capabilities. You can try to convert text to curves and adjust nodes with the Node tool, but that is often tedious too and will keep text in an afterwards uneditable state. An actual simpler but also none perfect workaround is, as far as you have APhoto too, to reuse it's Perspective filter then inside of Designer (that nondestructive one can keep Designer vectors intact)... ... which might be usable for simpler perspective modifying things. If you don't have APhoto you can reuse here instead some live filter assets from the forums resources section, which embbed some Photo filters in Assets so they can be used via Designer. - Try here the "perspective distort" one, as shown quickly above. Other than that and for finer grade vector mesh warp and free transform distortions, you have to take third party software like Inkscape, Xara/Magic Designer, Amadine, VectorStyler ... etc. and then exchange things made with those as SVG or PDF vector data with Affinity Designer.
