MikeK36 Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 This feature would be great to have - not too dissimilar from CorelDraw's mesh fill tool from 2008 sfriedberg, moi.cool and Aftemplate 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNKLN Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Could it be that i've seen this ground breaking new functionality (or at least something coming close) in Logoist 4? sfriedberg 1 Quote Affinity Photo - Affinity Designer - Affinity Publisher | macOS Sonoma (14.2) on 16GB MBP14 2021 with 2.4 versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it. Adobe Illustrators "Freeform gradients" were introduced in Illustrator 2019, released around november 2019. Logoist 4 introduced "Multipoint Gradients" ("Use innovative new gradients by specifying color points, lines and Bézier curves") in april 2020.

Affinity designers absolutely want this! This feature is significant for vector coloring. It should be considered a basic necessary function. @Jowday CLC 1 Quote The more restricted you put on the program, the closer you program is to idiot.

RNKLN Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Yes, absolutely something the Serif people should put in a (not too far away) future version.

sfriedberg Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I certainly don't object to having the feature, but I've had that capability in CorelDRAW for close (plus/minus) to a decade, and I don't think I've ever actually used it in a finished piece! So, not something I would make a high priority for Affinity development. Oh, and the Adobe marketing? "Revolutionary"? "Unparalleled"? Sorry, Adobe, you are late to the game and need to show that you've reached parity, much less being first and foremost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Adobe, you are late to the game and need to show that you've reached parity, much less being first and foremost. I am not a vector professional user, I am a bitmap professional user. So it's really my ignorance. I will use it often to supplement my bitmap. And it does upend the way the past is gradient, That's why I call it revolutionary. It's not marketing. It's a strong stimulus. But it seems that the unexpected motivated you. (It's not my intention) You don't use it, you can't represent everyone. I use it, I can't represent everyone.

Jowday Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I would use it all the time in Affinity Designer. So much easier to use to simulate natural light and shadow on faces, in fact whatever. But Designer is the mother of all workaround design programs. wtrmlnjuc, Aftemplate and Dazmondo77 1 2 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
