RobWu Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hi guys/gals,I've been playing with the beta, and so far it looks really nice. :) As I'm also doing a lot of 3D, I often use vector based work as a basis for 3D.Most of this comes into the 3D apps as eps or AI8 exported files.But the eps files out of AD have nothing in them when imported in a 3D app. Strange thing is I do get the file properly imported into Illustrator though, but cannot edit it anymore.So it looks like the eps file does something different than usual.It would be nice to see this working, as re-tracing stuff by hand in a 3D app can be pretty tedious. Oh. and retouching in Illustrator is also needed. rob Windows 11 - 23H2 ⊕ ASUS PRIME X670E-Pro ⊕ AMD Ryzen 9-7900X ⊕ Arctic Liquid Cooler II ⊕ 64GB RAM ⊕ OS SSD Samsung 980Pro 2Tb ⊕ Cache SSD Samsung 870 EVO 1Tb ⊕ Video HD WD Blue 4Tb ⊕ Geforce RTX 3060 12Gb ⊕ BenQ SW270C ⊕ Dell U2412M ⊕ Affinity Photo 2.3.x ⊕ Affinity Designer 2.3.x ⊕ Affinity Publisher 2.3.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Andy Somerfield Posted July 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hi, This is likely to be because Affinity is deciding that it needs to rasterise your drawing to best represent it in EPS. This can usually be avoided by avoiding things like filter effects in your drawing. Could you attach a sample Designer document which exports badly, so we can take a look? Thanks, Andy.

RobWu Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Ah... I see. Yes, one of the shapes had a gradient in there.I'll try again just with basic curves shapes.If that's not working, I'll attach a file. thanks! rob Windows 11 - 23H2 ⊕ ASUS PRIME X670E-Pro ⊕ AMD Ryzen 9-7900X ⊕ Arctic Liquid Cooler II ⊕ 64GB RAM ⊕ OS SSD Samsung 980Pro 2Tb ⊕ Cache SSD Samsung 870 EVO 1Tb ⊕ Video HD WD Blue 4Tb ⊕ Geforce RTX 3060 12Gb ⊕ BenQ SW270C ⊕ Dell U2412M ⊕ Affinity Photo 2.3.x ⊕ Affinity Designer 2.3.x ⊕ Affinity Publisher 2.3.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobWu Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hi,Something's off with the eps file.If I open the AD eps in Illustrator en resave it as a AI8 file, it will work as expected in my 3D apps.The AD eps extrudes all curves in 3D, instead of creating holes in e.g. fonts etc.cheers! rob AD eps: http://www.rowumedia.nl/temp/Untitled.epsAI8 eps: http://www.rowumedia.nl/temp/UntitledAI.eps Windows 11 - 23H2 ⊕ ASUS PRIME X670E-Pro ⊕ AMD Ryzen 9-7900X ⊕ Arctic Liquid Cooler II ⊕ 64GB RAM ⊕ OS SSD Samsung 980Pro 2Tb ⊕ Cache SSD Samsung 870 EVO 1Tb ⊕ Video HD WD Blue 4Tb ⊕ Geforce RTX 3060 12Gb ⊕ BenQ SW270C ⊕ Dell U2412M ⊕ Affinity Photo 2.3.x ⊕ Affinity Designer 2.3.x ⊕ Affinity Publisher 2.3.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
