yeshua20 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I was wondering if it was possible to warp text in Designer. I attached an image with what I am trying to accomplish. Stefan Johnsson 1 Quote
Staff MEB Posted December 29, 2015 Staff Posted December 29, 2015 Hi yeshua20, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) It's not yet possible to distort/warp text in Affinity Designer. A Mesh warp/distort tool is already on Affinity Designer's roadmap to be implemented later. JBR, Hank McCoy, JunFender and 2 others 4 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software

Patriq Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 I hope this comes soon, as I need it often. The sooner I don't have to revert to Photoshop to do things like this the better :) boydw 1 Quote Affinity Designer 2.0.3 | Affinity Photo 2.0.3 | Affinity Publisher 2.0.3 | MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2015) Mac OS 12.6.2 Monterey
evtonic3 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 I hope this comes soon, as I need it often. The sooner I don't have to revert to Photoshop to do things like this the better :) Since your op mentioned doing this in Designer, yet at your last comment you say that you wish to not have to revert to Photoshop, you should know that Photo is Photoshop's equivalent. So Designer is not really your app that you want to use with the Warp Tool. Quote
ThinkArgent.com Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 Any plans to get this feature into Designer? Just to be clear I am talking about Text Warping, not converting the vectors to a pixel(raster) layer of the text. Pixel and Poly 1 Quote
Staff MEB Posted December 12, 2016 Staff Posted December 12, 2016 Hi ThinkArgent.com, Welcome to Affinity Forums. This is already on Designer's roadmap (which covers all new features until version 2.0) so it will come with one of the next updates. I'm referring to mesh warp distortions not to something similar to Warp Effects in Illustrator just to be clear. There's no eta for any specific feature (it depends on the development goes) so i can't add much more details at this point. march_happy and Maxxxworld 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
TonyO Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 This would be an awesome feature, I had use for it this afternoon and the google search on how to do it brought me to this post, haha. Would definitely be a great feature for 2.0 Quote Art director by day, illustrator by night: Check Out My Shutterstock Gallery
Alfred Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Would definitely be a great feature for 2.0 Unless it gets pushed off the roadmap, we'll see it before version 2.0. :) Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
Neil Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 +1 for a Mesh Warp Tool in Designer! :) Quote Neil Judges neil.judg.es - seriftemplates.com - serifaddons.com - Dribbble
Yasir Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 You can still recreate the whole graphic using AD, mind you in Adobe illustrator your fonts will be vector to use with Mesh Tool. I normally place that PDF file on lower layer, locked and redraw what I have, if you know the name of the font and you have it in your system, then you can size the letters - convert curves- to match your PDF. Remember in AD you can skew top to bottom and left to right only. This is a work around only. I look forward to see how Mesh tool work in AD. Quote
therossgroupft Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 That is a SERIOUS need, and you haven't been able to implement it for more than two years? Ugh. Instead of recreating their 30+ year old tools, how about doing something with text more DYNAMICALLY. That was where Macromedia was heading when they panicked and Adobe devoured them. Real time, easy to mess with. Not a horde of buttons and wireframes. Quote
mac_heibu Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Oh really? This is a "SERIOUS need" – even capitalised – for you? Wow! You won’t believe, but I have some other "serious needs", just like everybody else here has his own and favourite "serious needs". If the Affinity team would have had the intention, to build in all these "serious needs" into its apps within a period of "two years", I really believe, the only "serious need" for the team would be an extended stay in a mental hospital in order to heal reality distortion.

I have both. Thanks. Quote

Thanks. If raster images suit your need, its quite easy to use the the mesh warp/perspective tool. If you require vector, the Photo export can be run thru a 3rd party vector tracer, and brought into Designer.

TonyO Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I agree, general envelope warping tools are only of the only useful features still lacking in Affinity, and they are implemented really badly in illustrator. I still find myself still firing up Corel on my junktop every now and then to envelope text sometimes, haha.

farukkk Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Sadly just swapt back to adobe illustrator because of this feature Text Warp. We have now almost 2019 :( Stefan Johnsson, AHAM and Kiarian 3 Quote
Kiarian Posted October 13, 2018 Posted October 13, 2018 What farukkk said. I'm in the middle of something now, vectorising an image. All I need to do is slightly warp some text. Now I have to try and find my old Adobe Illustrator log in details and install the dreaded Adobe software. Hate the Adobe Suite, and I still cannot get my head around Affinity not releasing a basic text warp tool for Designer. I've been reading the original post, and it goes back to 2015. This isn't any hate on Affinity, love the software, but I cannot see how anyone doing any graphic design can not go back to Illustrator for this one tool. It's such a staple tool for any sort of logo design. Boggles the mind why it isn't a priority!? Stefan Johnsson 1 Quote

Basically Affinity is a good program but it's disappointing that any vector program in 2018 is incapable of warping text since it's such an important tool for any designer. Stefan Johnsson 1 Quote
