Sackadelic Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hey fellow Affinity users! I'm in love with both Affinity Photo and Designer. I'm using it for work all the time, but I'm working on a project where I need some insight. I'm making wiring diagrams for guitar components. I'm having a great time doing it but struggling with one particular style of line. (See Attached Image) I'm trying to make this attached image, but in a draggable and editable line. I know I can make this line, trace it, create a pixel layer, and crop-fill the layer with a texture brush, but there's no way I'm going to do that - way too much work. See attached PDF for an example. Is there anyway you can make this line with the following texture attached? Thanks all!

Sackadelic Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 I should add it doesn't need to be as highly detailed as this image, and I'm mainly trying to get the braided metal. Just the gist. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I knocked up this, the braid could do with being thinner I think, so it looks more dense. Braid.afbrushes I squished the braid down a bit, the rounded cable look was done by applying a 3D fx on the curve. There is a slight glitch if you look close enough but I'm totally ignoring that lol! To get that wired look I used these settings on all of the shapes, I could do better with more time but I have to go to work else I'd do something a bit different.

Sackadelic Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 Wow, FirstDefence! This is great, I didn't expect anyone to do the work for me! Already using it, and it's working fantastic. Is there a tutorial I can see where I can learn how to do this? Many, many thanks.
