Shmoo Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 This is maybe crazy but this very old Illustrator video shows something kinda complex in a easy to use workflow but when I try to do the same thing in Affinity Designer it's for some reason totally not possible. I can't create a brush from objects? * skip a little through the intro talk..

Shmoo Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I've tried to create the same sort of effect by adding styles and a round gradient but the problem is you can't do the 70% out of 100% and leave the 30% greyed-out. This examples shows 100%. I'm trying to create those Apple Watch activity chart circles.

A_B_C Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Hi Shmoo, why not use the Pie Tool, a conical gradient, some layer tricks and Matt’s Corner Tool … would that be an option? See my quick sketch below … Cheers, Alex :) Activity.afdesign MacGueurle, PaulDean, yakk and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
