ronnyb Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I really enjoy tweaking a stroke's pressure gradient after drawing it, but the Pressure sub-palette is quite limited in size and accuracy. How about avoiding the interface clutter altogether, and simply have a Show Pressure Overlay command in the View menu, which basically maps the gradient onto the currently selected path, something like this: rui_mac, anon1, Jakerlund and 1 other 4 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrograde Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Looks good. If I did a lot of that kind of work I think I would prefer this over the sub-palette route.

ronnyb Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I suppose one could have both types of handles viewable at once, so this is another attempt at a clear UI Russ Johnson 1 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted February 2, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 2, 2015 Nice concept @ronnyb. Personally i would add the Pressure handles to both sides, even at the cost of some cleanness, because it feels more intuitive. Additionally they could be used independently from each other (but in the same vertical direction - no angle variation here like in regular node handles), pressing the alt key (or other modifier) to make the length of the handles non-symmetrical. ronnyb and Russ Johnson 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnyb Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 @MEB, yeah I thought about adding handles to both sides, but decided against it for the sake of simplifying the UI; however, if the programmers can code asymmetrical pressure settings, well, damn, I think that will be a new milestone for a vector program... !! Also agree with you about keeping the handles perpendicular to the path at the pressure node's location.... I also changed the shape of the green pressure node's handles from a simple green line to an elongated triangle for two reasons: 1. to help differentiate it from the regular blue handles (in case you are editing both types of nodes with the overlay turned on) and 2. to visually convey "pressure" in a way that straight handles can't... It would also be AWESOME to have mechanism to capture (from pressure sensitive tablet) and apply pressure settings to a pre-existing path, but that's a version 2.0 feature Gotta save some goodies for the upgrades, right? ;) Russ Johnson 1 Quote 2021 16” Macbook Pro w/ M1 Max 10c cpu /24c gpu, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Sonoma 14.4.1 2018 11" iPad Pro w/ A12X cpu/gpu, 256 GB, iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimGoshorn Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Now you're talking. That looks like a really nice solution to my need for width adjustments. One less need for Illustrator... ronnyb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
