I've been in search for a replacement for the Illustrator "Free Distort" tool, which you can apply to text and maintain vector quality. This is different than a perspective shift or even the tools present in Affinity Photo. Will this be possible in 1.7? Is there any indication of where this is in the roadmap? I can't find anything other than Illustrator that does this well. Example from illustrator: THIS. I am currently giving Affinity Designer, along with the other Affinity apps, a test run in hopes to break my shackles to Adobe's Creative Cloud. I letter comic books, which from time to time require distortion of characters for effect. A.D. needs to have a free distortion/transform of nodes or of a grouped object. Other node manipulation abilities (not so much WHAT is being made, but the vector technique being used in Illustrator)http://www.balloontales.com/tv-shape-balloon/http://www.balloontales.com/curved-type/ These node manipulation abilities are basic necessities when working with vector objects or outlined text (curves).

Staff MEB Posted February 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi Due, Welcome to Affinity Forums What application are you using Affinity Designer or Affinity Photo? Affinity Designer doesn't have perspective nor mesh warp distortion tools yet. It's on its roadmap. Affinity Photo does have raster based Perspective and Mesh Warp Tools as well as a Live Perspective filter.

Nigel Novice Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I too am after a tool to add what I call perspective to a shape be it a Jpeg or text, I used to be able to do it in Pageplus X8 AD's supposedly lesser cousin, so any news on a tool or AF ability to integrate with AD? Here is an example, text superimposed over a Jpeg then converted to Jpeg and then distorted to fit perspective of Jpeg scene Nigel Jowday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painty Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I really, really need to be able to Free Transorm.. I mean simple things like taking a flat shape and moving the corners to put it on a perspective plain would be so good.

I need perspective as a part of my main design process inside the same tool which can apply/modify perspective on the fly to bitmaps, vectors and symbol instances. Affinity Photo perspective implementation is really beautifully made and this is exactly what I'm asking here as a feature of Designer.

Yes I know its frustrating - hopefully the integration between Publisher, Photo and Designer will be seamless in the future - the Betas seem to suggest. I don't mind paying for all three at the affordable prices. The only trick I worked out in Designer was convert a square to curves select two diagonally oppossite points holding shift then you can do some simple perspective tricks .... buiy limited I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smooo67 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Yup Affinity this tool is paramount and should be a stable within the toolset - the ability to grab the handles of any object or text and free transform it....

Can someone post a new link to the roadmap? the old one is dead. Serif removed all roadmaps - post the 2014 hype some dissatisfaction emerged and Serif terminated it. A public roadmap isn't the best of ideas, so no problem except the expectations users had for years because they did in fact publish and keep it here for years.

MCFC_4Heatons Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Quote Not to worry though, there are manual workarounds for all of you out there: What are the workarounds ? I can use perspective grid in Photo but it rasterizes. A simple perspective tool (called skew tool in Fireworks) is missing. I worked out a trick with the node tool that can be used on vectors to do the equivelant of the pespective tool in Photoshop - not sure about text and if I want to do the same on a bitmap I have to switch to Photo and use Perspectibe grid as far as I can see?
