AIC Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 How do I make this in Designer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 11, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi AIC, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently there's no efficient way/tools/features to generate that type of composition in Designer.

AIC Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks for the welcome! :) OK, extremely weird that a major design feature like this isn't available on SW as well thought out as this?! Must be an oversight or simply an unfavorable feature with your software developers? In any case, I need this pronto as I will need to do some Synthwave album artwork. How fast can you guys implement tools for this into the app? Really didn't want to switch to the Adobe camp after a few days of using this... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_heibu Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 OK, if you need this "pronto", the Affinity team will not sleep, until it is built in! Perhaps they will fire the team members, who weren’t aware of this gigantic gap! Strange people around … Signguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Real artist would draw this using only pen tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason for me asking is, if this is not within a month or so away, I will have to get Illustrator CC or something else. Thanks for your response...

mac_heibu Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 … I want to draw a flying tiger with a fried chicken between his teeth chasing Pokémons in Manhattan. I need this pronto! Can one of the developers tell, if this feature is realised in the next 2, 3 weeks? I mean, this is really basic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIC Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 … I want to draw a flying tiger with a fried chicken between his teeth chasing Pokémons in Manhattan. I need this pronto! Can one of the developers tell, if this feature is realised in the next 2, 3 weeks? I mean, this is really basic! I went back and looked for this feature on the forum and it has been asked for, for the past 2+ years(!!!). So yeah, I won't be expecting them to add it anytime soon. Meanwhile, Illustrator has had this feature since the 80's. Basic, yes. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed by the utter stupid ways you found to showcase your own ignorance to this community. But it's your own choice if you feel the need to be an idiot gatekeeper. I'm outta here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oval Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 How fast can you guys implement tools for this into the app? […] I'm outta here. So you didn’t want an answer of a developer … ? An implementation into the app can be done soon if the concept / tool code already exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Real artist would draw this using only pen tool. Not in real life. :D OK, so I'm not the first to point this out.

Inkscape can do what you want via interpolation. Cheers P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 12, 2016 Hi AIC, Overall almost all known features have been requested by someone at this point. As you can guess, there's no development resources available to fulfil all of them in such a short range of time. Illustrator has been in development for decades, Affinity Designer will complete two years on the market soon. We already have a Blend Tool in Designer's roadmap, which is the closest tool planned to create these type of objects, however there's no ETA for it. The roadmap covers all features to be implemented during the 1.x versions, so naturally some items will appear sooner than others. Bear with us while we get there.

Fixx Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 You might get something usable with power duplicate feature, but it's results are somewhat hard to predict in this kind of use. Interpolation would be more useful (try inkscape). Illustrator's 3D transform would be even better. On the other hand, the lines in example look like result of some kind of procedural generation, for which tools are... well, I don't know them. Of course smart artists can fake anything.

Staff MEB Posted August 12, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 12, 2016 Power Duplicate isn't able to cope with node transforms making this impossible to replicate with Designer. There's currently no tools available to help with this, other than a lot of manual work :( Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AIC Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Thank you for the info, MEB, and for the constructive suggestions PixelPest and Fixx! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
