MattAP Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hello! We have recentley upgraded our Designers to Affinity. Our main issue we are now having is creating brushes. We have created brushes by using the below method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNZbmvjtdmU But we are having issues with distortion and the brushes becoming lower resolution. Please see attached photo. Thanks! Matt. IT SupportAgent Provocateur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattAP Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 I was also wondering if this was sitll the best way to create brushes, or now that affinity is a bit further along in its development is there another way of creating them?

evtonic3 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 When I make a brush I make sure the doc that the brush sample will be made from is a very high dpi like 600. That way I can be sure that I will never have that issue with the quality of the brush. If you are making and using the brushes in the same doc, then the quality of the brush created is dependent on the resolution of the doc you started off with. This has been my findings with this. There may another way but this works for me. MattAP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paolo.limoncelli Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Evtonic3 said it all... AD doesn't have vector pattern brushes, so you need hi-resolution bitmaps to solve this problem. The distortion unfortunately is not avoidable at all... MattAP 1 Quote The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattAP Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Ah I see - my mistake I thought they were created as a vector - the lower DPI would make a lot of sense in that case. I shall try creating the brushes in as high a DPI as possible and get back to you. Thankyou both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paolo.limoncelli Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Do you think affinity designer will get pattern brushes eventually? I'm pretty confident these will appear sooner or later. Not mentioned in the roadmap yet, but I'm they have plans on these :) Quote The white dog, making tools for artists, illustrators and doodlers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
