Can't find Blast brush

[2good]

Hi

I am new to Affinity and have all of the 3 packages.  I've come over from PagePlus, which I do still use a lot.

However this is totally new and newbie alien to me at the moment.

When I purchased the packages I also bought the Blast addon and installed it.  Problem is that I can't find the brushes in the list of brush types and have no idea where to go from here.

Any help?

 

Thanks

Welcome to the forums @2good

Into which Affinity application did you install the brushes?
I don’t have those brushes but some brushes are Vector Brushes and some are Raster Brushes.
Raster Brushes are only available in Affinity Photo or the Photo Pixel Persona of Designer.

Note: If these are the brushes https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/store/product/blast-powder-brushes/ then you should have a PDF containing instructions.

As @GarryPmentioned these blast brushes are raster based so if you are using designer you will need to switch to the Pixel persona to use them.

Ahh yes, I see it in Photo.  

No idea what a Raster brush or a Pixel persona is.

When did software get so complicated?

This is going to take some time to get the hang of.

Watching some of the tutorials, and/or reading some more of the Help, may provide some useful info.
