MarcL Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hey Guys, Just wanted to ask if there's a Perspective/Skew distortions in AD. I have a couple of shapes I'm trying to warp a little and having some trouble doing it without the Perspective/Skew/Warp feature. Or do I have to do this part in Affinity Photo. Thanks, Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hokusai Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Marc, Just place the cursor in the middle of a selected object and you will see two arrows appear. Those arrows allow you to skew the object. Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrograde Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The hotspot for this to show up could be a bit bigger imho, it's sometimes tricky to come up. Works great though.

JFisher Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This feature is listed on the roadmap to be added in a future update :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this point should be on the roadmap. Too many beginners are searching and asking here for this and some other features, that seems to be missing.

Oval Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This feature is listed on the roadmap to be added in a future update :) Yes, the Mesh warp/distort tool is much too long on the roadmap as Affinity Photo already has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted January 14, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 14, 2016 This post shows ways to do this in AD and combined with AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 14, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 14, 2016 Hi Marc, As JFisher said this is already on Designer 's roadmap. Currently it doesn't have the tools to perform perspective distortions. If you own Affinity Photo you can do the following: Create the text object in Affinity Photo and apply a Live Perspective Filter. With the object selected (both layers) press ⌘ (cmd) + C to copy it to clipboard. Go to Affinity Designer and paste the object in the document. Edit/adjust the Filter as necessary, double-clicking in the Live Perspective filter’s thumbnail.

MarcL Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it. Works great in AP, got the job done. :) Sorry to keep this thread going a little longer, but I ran into another thing I'm trying to do. I know Text on Path works great in AD, but is there a feature to warp the text into something similar to this Tapout logo? Or maybe even a work-around if the feature doesn't exist yet.

Staff MEB Posted January 15, 2016 Staff Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hi Marc, You try that with the Mesh Warp Tool in Affinity Photo. Double click inside the mesh area to add nodes to manipulate the distortion (it's coupled with the Perspective Tool in the toolbar).
