Designer | vector brush with size and rotation jitter


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have been using Designer V1 for a long time and switched to V2 as soon as it was released.

For a current project, in which I want to populate a tree graphic with individual leaves, I would like to do this conveniently using vector brushes.
So I created a tree-leaf as a monochrome vector, exported it as a png and created a brush from it.

Now I want the leaf to rotate randomly and change its size when using the brush.
However, the necessary options are missing when creating the vector brush.

In the Pixel Persona I can make all the desired settings, via size and rotation jitter as well as x- and y-scatter, but of course I only get pixel graphics.

Am I missing something? Is it possible to create such randomly changing vector brushes?
In Adobe Illustrator, for example, this seems to be possible.

Thank you very much,
Dan

No it is not possible in the Affinity applications. There are no "True Vector" Brushes in the Affinity applications as in Adobe Illustrator.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Would love to see true vector brushes with these options in Designer too.
