Is free transform on the roadmap?


Recommended Posts

Thanks, Jonopen.

Sadly, I don't the find free transform tool.

 

Jonopen most likely referred to the 'Mesh warp/distort tool'.

Thanks, Dominik. I was just not sure Mesh warp/distort would have the free stransform function.

 

You can play with the mesh warp/distort tool in Affinity Photo. I assume it works in a somewhat similar way as the tool will work in Affinity Designer. This is just a guess from my side, I haven't read anything about it...

Hmmm...I noticed that the "roadmap" is from way back in 2014. The main reason I'm checking out making the leap from Illustrator to Affinity Designer is because the free transform/distort tool in Illustrator is hideous beyond belief. Take a look at this discussion to find out how NOT to make a distort tool: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/874423

 

But if there is no distort tool, just a parallel skew tool, then Affinity won't be much use to me. Please correct me if such a function already exists - I haven't yet installed the Windows beta version which I downloaded last week - it asked for all kinds of very old updates ("Platform Update for Windows 7 not found") to be installed and I've been crazy-busy and didn't have the time to check out whether those old updates would/wouldn't potentially screw anything up.

 

Are we likely to see an updated roadmap of what's coming soon/when/what's already implemented? It's not very reassuring seeing a 2014 roadmap showing features that haven't yet appeared, nearly two and a half years later.
