I wonder where and why they decided to move (delete?) this thread. Lots of nice features I've been looking/longing for since the first Designer Beta, besides Calligraphic line styles of course. Multiple Effects per shape (we're lucky we got those multiple fills and strokes I guess) Convert Pixel selection to Vector shape (would be a nice thing to have at least basic image tracing) Replicate/Blend (pleeease!) Let's hope for a surprise in a (hopefully soon) future update. 🤞 Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more than a wish list but less than a guarantee that anything on it would make it into the app 'soonish' if ever. For example, some things on it were being worked on when they were added but ended up being shelved because they caused too many hard to diagnose & fix bugs in the existing code.

Kaylee Mickelson Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I can't believe this isn't already a thing! I'm so disappointed that it hasn't already been added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manoj Sudhakaran Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Please add the calligraphic brush support, i could not believe that Affinity does not have this option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomma91 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 PLEASEEEEEE ADD THIS FEATURE. I love everything else about AD but sadly think I will have to make the move back to working in photoshop if this isn't added in the next update. It's crucial to my work. please and thank you tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monki alxndr Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 i'm so confused to see that it's been almost 5 years and so many ppl over here strive together to talk about this essential up date ... what's however on the MAIN AFFINITY FORUM OF THE COMPANY like ... What the heck ? ! No freaking solution till now ??? fo real ??? this is crazy ... it's a bit disappointing ... even if affinity team already made a MAD work to put this successful and wonderful software out ... but clearly there really need to hurry and set this up ...

Foomandoonian Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 +1 from me too. Another feature I frankly just assumed would be there when I needed it. This is exactly the kind of omission that makes people say "well, I guess I just have to use Adobe Illustrator…" Gunny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunny Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 +1 Designer's way of displaying strokes is far from perfect and it should have been completely rewritten but I believe adding elliptical brush tip instead of circle should work even with the current (rather simplified) method.

Gunny Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 The elliptical brush can be somewhat faked by adjusting the pressure profile but unfortunately it is quite annoying process if you do it by hand. However, I just got the idea the same thing could be handled automatically by the app. The pressure profile would be a function of the angle in each part of the curve/stroke. I think it would not be even too difficult to code it... 😏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwobbler Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 It's been 5.5 years and it still hasn't been added. I really want this vector brush. Please add it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munkedal Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Count me in as well 🙂 The free Windows Program InkScape has it…so should Affinity Designer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynick Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Hi adding in my vote as well, I have been following this post for years now, a calligraphic brush is a must for vector designer. Only for this feature I have to rely on other vector tools. I request to developers please grant us this wish, it would be huge update for us who mostly needed customize calligrafic texts for their designs most of the times.

YoBa Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 you have to have this. this is really bad, I switched to Affinity after many years of illustrator and I cant believe this feature doesnt exist. this is an essential feature for how I create logo type. is this going to happen or are we doomed to Adobe?

valenciaismail Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 This feature would make me switch completely from illustrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
