List of exports and automation

[Nico]

Hello all,

 

recently purchased photo and designer and starting to have a look at the potential, I have got 2 questions.

 

1. Is there a place with a complete list of export types for both photos and designer, like afassets afbrushes... and what's their usage?

2. Are their format available and editable, for example, could it support any sort of automation from the outside to bundle a set of icons into a asset set? If I have a github project with a icon set folder, can some sort of npm based generator bundle things and make a build available as affinity asset?

Hi Nico,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

1. Check this page for Designer and this one for Photo.

2. No, they don't support any kind of automation from the outside. You can only generate a assets internally (see screenshots for options available).

Thanks for the feature list, there is a mention about exporting template here and there but not a clear list of assets export available, I'm talking about afbrushes, afassets, recently I have seen mentioned somewhere afstyles, is it supposed to be a list in there with all the assets type exports? Wondering how many more are out there hidden in the app perhaps? Perhaps making a video outlining all of them and how to use? I watched the afassets one on Vimeo, not sure the others.

 

I have got also a machine with multiple high end graphic cards (win10), have affinity products got OpenCL support for GPU processing?

 

Is there any interest in the company/community for assets to be generated outside from other applications and open the file structure to do so down the line? But also interest to allow assets to be loaded into other applications, like opening the file structure or give plugins for other leading design apps?

 

have you guys got any marketplace available where professionals can submit and sell their assets to be reused by others, like the Unity Assets Store? Any interest? 

 

By the way, congratulation with the products, they really look solid with a really nice product development approach, you have got really smart people leading that I think. Feel very lean but also polished.
