jonasbonas Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hey there, i could not find any tutorial or option to create a simple line "picture brush" just like in Illustrator. I want to draw 5 lines and make a brush out of it. Is that possible? Best, Jonas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Will you need the strokes to be exported without rasterisation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonasbonas Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 Without rasterisation yes. Its so super simple in Illustrator. (Just drag the 5 lines to the brush panel) But no way in Designer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just drag the 5 lines to the brush panel) But no way in Designer The ersatz "vector brushes" in AD stretch or repeat a raster texture along a path. Objects can be given a vector muliti-stroke in the Appearance panel, but if the gaps between the black lines are to be transparent then you'll need to mess around with expanding the multi-stroke to a stack of shapes and then performing Boolean operations to enable a non-rasterised export. There's a new live contour tool in the 1.9 beta, but it's very primitive and will actually complicate matters for open paths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonasbonas Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 But are these vector brushes or is it pixel based? But at the end, it is not possible like in illustrator to understand it right? Just because i want to create my own brushes... But as i understand it just needs more time if they add a feature like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 15 minutes ago, jonasbonas said: But are these vector brushes or is it pixel based? Just guessing here... They are going to be pixel based. Based on the fact that Affinity does not have or support Vector based brushes.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
