retrograde Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Yes that Blender external editor preference would make it quick to use Photo as the default. Thanks for reminding me of that feature. :-) Quote http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillBellJr Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm hoping similar Normal map tools will be added to Designer. While I can appreciate working with pixels, I like the precision and edit-ability of using vectors for the majority of my 3D artwork. I just prefer using vector tools along with any capabilities of placing bitmaps, filling vector shapes with (tiled) images etc. I used to use Fireworks, and this was done in Xara more recently, but now having Affinity Designer, I've dropped all that cruft and now only use my beloved Designer! I often work with texture sets like these as well: -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Werner Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Just a quick note about that video: You can use the "Continuous" checkbox in the Export persona to have Affinity Photo continuously save your texture out in the background for you instead of manually re-exporting it every time you make a change. Not sure how much it would affect performance with a high-res image, but for reasonably small files, I think it's a lot more convenient.

Thanks Alfred. Any solution for this...?

myclay Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hello WillBellJr the normalmap files should also work within Designer. :) I too like to work with text and vector shapes and thus they where the first to work. just make sure to give the shapes a white colour and set Stroke to 'None'. those gradients are a difficult task, no idea yet how to archive that purely inside of Affinity Photo/Designer. Would be cool if there was any way to mae an auto import/export of the Bpainter layers to Affinity Photo.
