Staff Ash Posted February 14 Staff Share Posted February 14 Apps: Affinity Designer Platforms: Windows, macOS and iPad When editing a vector warp group, nodes will now snap based on your snapping preferences (if you have snapping turned on). As with nearly all operations in Affinity you can temporarily toggle snapping off while dragging a node by holding Alt. lepr, SureWeb, RNKLN and 7 others 8 2 Quote Managing Director Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

While we're busy with all the new posts were pressing "thanks" against your reports and adding to the Known issues post, which exists in every thread, but that post is/was hidden until someone (like you) makes the first bug report. Sorry this isn't very clear but it's new today so may take a while to get used to. Perhaps I should unhide all the hidden "Known Issues" posts and also add "known issues will appear here as they are reported below" Alfred and MikeTO 2 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

Would be cool if modifiers allowed making hard corner nodes or even removing handles from one side like how the Node Tool behaves. So many possibilities for high precision transformations. lepr and Aammppaa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - Just imagine working on a warp group, on a selection of warp nodes and having the ability to use transform mode to grow, shrink, skew and rotate within a warp group, all snapping ------ next level lepr, Frozen Death Knight and B0R10N 2 1 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram NVIDIA GeForce GT 630 - 2 GB Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Double boot Mac OS Big Sur 11.6.5 and Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.00 www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I second this! The option for hard/sharp corner nodes while warping would be fantastic. 👏 Frozen Death Knight and B0R10N 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartRc Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I missed this new feature update. Really useful... Good to see Warp being developed further. I was playing around with the possibility of creating a 'Planet Builder' Sketch Template using distortion and seamless patterns. In 2.04 adding a node to the Fish Eye Lens distortion caused AD to Crash (attempt to increase density of visible grid!). So been applying the same techniques in the Beta Version (No Crashes yet!)...Wondering whether there will be updates to the functionality of the mesh where you can: Add Nodes at mid-Points! (Especially Fish Eye!)..I found a work around by using 'Mesh' and applying reset to added grid nodes. Then manually distorting but a several step process. or Snap to Grid!

darwinwasright Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I guess this is the only warp related tread, so I gonna post it here. 1. Is this possible to add Flag to the list of warping groups? It is very useful and i believe needed warp. With Positive and negative bends. 2. Wouldn't it be better if Horizontal and Vertical values of Arc and Bend warps were combined? And just toggle it in context bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Ash Posted March 21 Author Staff Share Posted March 21 So just to quickly say - better node editing and more presets is certainly on our list for a future update, but will not be in 2.1 I'm afraid. evtonic3, Mithferion, DylanGG and 3 others 3 3 Quote Managing Director Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

SoCuul Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 (edited) I'm currently having problems with snapping while using the vector warp tool. I have tried to snap the node to the edge of the document bounds, but no snapping happens whatsoever. I've also tried it with other objects in the document, and still no success. Edit: Do I have to be on the latest beta to utilize this? I'm currently on the release channel. Edited April 7 by SoCuul Edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or wait for the retail release of 2.1.
