AD2 Warp apparently has No Effect on Fills

[LionelD]

If I warp a shape that has a fill, it appears the fill does not get warped with the warped shape.  This seems to happen with any fill, but it is particularly apparent when the fill is a gradient.

Did I misuse/mis-configure the Warp?

Is that as it should be?

Is there any other way to warp a gradient fill to conform to an arbitrarily warped shape?

I am using latest releases of AD2 on iPad and MBP with latest versions of their respective OS’s.  Attached file was created on iPad.

@Dan C  I posted this to the wrong place, sorry.  Can you fix it for me, please?

Hi @LionelD and welcome to the forum.

As I remember, pixelbased gradient fills are not supported with the warp group. For this you need to switch to the Pixel Persona and use the Live Filter Layer Mesh Warp.

@Komatös Thanks for your response.  I do find it somewhat surprising as I did not use Pixel Persona in making that file.

I think I found a way to accomplish my purpose, and I have to experiment with is more to refine it, but thanks anyway.
