Affinity Designer: Pattern fill / Noises for custom styles

[Estrobeda]

Hello, I'd want to add fairly basic patterns to some of my shapes, such as repetitive circles and other shapes that I'd want to be apart of kinda a material/style which I could apply to my vector objects.

I could do these patterns manually and add them into the shapes by hand, but I find it somewhat tedious since it's so repetitive.

I also know that there's color noise available but there's no option to make custom noise filters for it? Because that could somewhat help with "some" of my "dreams".

Found a solution.

I'm definetly not a "pro" user of affinity designer so it would probably be obvious to most but the solution was:

There's a "fill" tool in affinity designer which I thought was the typical fill with solid color tool. Turns out that you can fill with gradients, bitmaps, solid colors etc.
When I was searching for a solution for this, all the suggestions I found was "Go to layer -> new fill layer". The problem is that, that solution is for Affinity Photo, not Affinity Designer, Affinity Designer doesn't seem to have that option there at all which caused a confusion.

So then you might ask, why just not edit it in photo?
Well, I do have Affinity photo but I don't want to install a whole program for one small thing like that and I bet there's those who don't have Affinity Photo.

Anyway, by using the fill tool on a shape, I could specify the effects and patterns etc that I wanted and then choose "Right Click -> Create new style".
