Yes truly awesome but this is the first stage of Affinity's vector warp ability. I'm guessing and hoping it will continue to evolve like many of the features from the first version of Designer 8 years ago - even so I'm an happy chappie as vector warping was my No1 need and MattP has done a brilliant job👍 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.4.3 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.3, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.4.0 Betas 2.5.0(2430) www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirk23 Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Mesh warp in nice indeed but I would prefer they would do direction control (both manually and by texture input) in live displace. Displace is so much proper way to deform 2d Image. Even better idea probably is to use UV coordinate AOV image to place bitmap on a necessary shape. Another live filter probably. Like everybody do it in 2d compositing . You want to put a logo on 3d rendered car in a movie post render , nobody would ever want to do it with mesh deform especially when you need it in 2k frames.

If you want to put a logo on a 3D object, then why not just put it on a 3D object? 2C1983A7-137D-4A2B-8765-57FC8D1FF95B.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to draw a shape and have the warp applied such that it 'just fits' with a couple of clicks... very quick and usually a good result.

I agree, I think it would be great to have that quick option available. The downside of Adobe's implementation is that the warp mesh is not very editable — you can modify the outside points/curves but not the interior area. So having the flexibility of Affinity's Warp Group, with the added ability to conform to a shape as a starting point, would be remarkable!

That's Procreate's 3D model painting features. https://procreate.art/ipad/3d Procreate is the single biggest and best reason to own an iPad. After using it for a while you'll find yourself double tapping paper to Undo. It's that engaging. iuli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant not 3d object but rather 2d image, computer generated . Basically rendered picture. Why I need to modify 3d scene and render again when it's simple and easy to just distort a logo to match something perfectly using depth or UV AOV if they have been included in your render. No guess as with manual mesh wrap. Try to use that mesh wrap to make a logo following something complicated , a waving flag for example. Still the mesh wrap is a nice addition too indeed.

You’re right, Procreate is awesome, and many artists are purchasing expensive iPads only to draw with it. But lately I’ve seen people so amazed by Affinity 2.0 for iPad that they purchased iPad especially for it too. Someone new to Affinity ordered his M2 iPad after visiting these forums the other day, and social media is full by similar comments. I think that Affinity 2.0 is starting to change people’s way of thinking at what an iPad could do for professionals. V2 seems like a game changer.

Come on... you can admit it... since using Procreate, there's been at least one time when you've sketched something on a real piece of paper, and double tapped to undo, out of habit from too much Procreate usage... iuli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the suite of 3D software available for the iPad Pro, I find it equally easy to just create a 3D model in some cases. AD Mesh Warp is the next best thing. Both solutions complement each other well and fill each others gaps. All of this is the reason I barely touch the desktop version of my Affinity suite.

Substance, 3D Coat and Quixel etc in a different league. Procreate's 3D is a bit primitive, for sure. But it's quick and easy. kirk23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
