sarituulia Posted November 20, 2018 Posted November 20, 2018 Please consider adding a feature where one can easily create seamless textures / patterns, like in Krita https://krita.org/en/item/new-wraparound-tool/ Jowday, mr_lunch, Nikola Kovac and 3 others 5 1 Quote

It's perhaps a little hard to find but if you search for 'seamless', 'pattern' or 'texture' you will find quite some discussion and request for this feature. And not only requests but also some solutions on how to achieve this in AD without a dedicated tool. I do not oppose the request for such a tool but I think it is worth to know that it is possible to create seamless textures already now. See this example and this article (the latter tutorial is based on AD for iPad but it works on desktop as well). Cheers, d. Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2).

Thanks for the warm welcome, Dominik! I have already read alot about Affinity software during my test period and the best solution for now seems to be to offset the image, fix seams and take care not to touch the borders again. But after seeing the realtime Wrap mode in Krita, I wish the Affinity devs will consider adding something like this. But of course it's not a big deal to use Krita for this purpose. Quote

Hi @Vantika, good to hear that you already do have working solutions even though not with a dedicated tool in AD. I myself have to look at Krita. I just heard about it but never tried it. d.

Vantika Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) There is a way to reduce at least the offsetting procedure to one click with a Macro. Which for me is vital since I often ruin my first few tries. For anyone who might not know about this: Enable Macro Window (View -> Studio -> Macro) (Optional) Create your own Macro category Press "Start recording" in the Macro panel Open "Filters/Distort/Affine..." and set OffsetX and OffsetY both to 50% and hit "Apply" Click "Stop recording" in the Macro panel Now you have a macro for quick image offset.

That's an interesting tip, thank you. May I add that macros are only available in Affinity Photo. We are in the Affinity Designer section, so AD users need to own APh and switch to it for this to work. d. Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.

Yeah I was hoping Designer had Macros, my work load would be cut by half if it did, I hope they plan to add that at some point. Quote

JQL Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 +1 It's the single feature I miss from Krita. Quote

FunnyBunny Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 +1 for dynamic seamless generator! Illustrator also have a way of Seamless generator which is quite rich of features. CorelDraw don't have it but there are a macro you could purchase that would generate patterns. Not only rectangle but also 6 as well as 8 triangles! Quote
David Wallin Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 Would love to see this as well. This is currently the only reason I have to switch back to Krita right now. Nikola Kovac 1 Quote
enceledean Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 I have created a forum account solely for requesting this feature. Affine and patterns are too slow and cumbersome for painting seamless textures by hand. I use Photo and Designer for game asset production and it would be a lifechanger to have this feature in both applications. Quote
