Trying do kaleidoscope effect several problems with it.


Recommended Posts

I use WIndows. Trying do kaleidoscope rotating pieces 90degre goed rounded to 90.00001 degrees etc also some other rounding issues. maybe reason why pie pieces what i used not do it match together perfectly there is tiny gap beetween them i done one what fills 190mm circle. this tiny gap print as well.

Are you rotating the pieces freehand? You can constrain the angle to exactly 90° by holding down the Shift key on your keyboard while rotating the selected piece on the canvas, or you can go to the Transform panel and type the desired value in the Rotation box.

I rotated them with transform panel. and some cases like this 90 step is suitable but not this current one is suitable is 30 degree. and i typed value and it changed to this other. and 90 is start positon angle. then others are different amounts of 30 degrees from orignal postion like one is 30 from it ,next is 60 and third is 90 etc. also pie size is 30.00003 even i entered 30. is this almost like opposite rounding.

Try this. You can put any layers as child into the top most curve layer.

Nice exactly not what i try do. i have different what i try do and problem is rotation and pie piece size precision gets odd decimals. i dont know how well shows here but i printed problems shows even my laser printer. what i mean shows i bet even more with printed with digital press and etc.

the only issue I can spot is the seam line between the pie form segments. This is currently unavoidable due to anti-aliasing used by Affinity. I intentionally put a channels mixer adjustment in my example file which corrects this issue.

In case you have a different issue, please provide screenshots showing the numbers you have talked before.
