I searched on google and on the forums but can't find an answer, but I'm still wondering why this shouldn't be possibile...

I need to create a Radial Gradient from White(center) transitioning to transparent (on a transparent background layer), but it doesn't work, I set all, than trace the radius but the gradient didn't appear

Than I would change his shape from circular to a custom shape using Mesh Warp, I'm thinking now it's just my fantasy cause I even can't generate the gradient...

I'm sorry if I'm not keen to Designer workflow, I normally use raster editing software (I know... probably I should continue to work on them.... anyway)

Thank You🙏

A gradient is always depending on a shape, it cannot exists without a shape or pixel layer.

  1. create a shape, like ellipse
  2. use gradient tool to create gradient within that shape
  3. live mesh warp groups only impacts nodes and curves, not fill colors or gradients.
  4. you may use a mesh warp live filter instead if you need to impact the fill

I use iPad screenshots and videos even in the Desktop section of the forum when I expect no relevant difference.

Thank You NotMyFault for your reply🙏 really!

I didn't understand exactly why a vector software like Designer but also like all the others (Illustr....) have all this limits, but now I know for sure I'm a Raster edit software man, it's a so radical difference between them... Photo2 leave you the possibility to brake boundaries, or I should more correctly say, it doesn't even put any boundaries
But the fact that leave me most astonished is that Raster Edit software in many case are also "better" (ok it's very subjective) for graphic EDIT design... I'm 47, I started using the first design software on Commodore64, it was so basic and funny for the era... I have seen all the changes..., and still I love pixels and their fluidity
Thank You again, I'm done with vector, Wish you the best!

Good old times

VC20 (predecessor of c64)

Atari ST (with emulator for MAC and EUMEL / L3), 1 megapixel b/w display

all that „shared software“ including CAD software with features Affinity users still dream of

I started with the Vic20, then replaced it with the C=64, & eventually replaced that with the Commodore 128, complete with the 1750 memory extender with a whopping (for the time) 512 KB of additional RAM. I ran GEOS with it.
