Gwlister Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) I'm currently test driving all of the Affinity products in hopes of leaving Adobe's Creative Cloud, but am coming up just a little short on some key tool necessities. The biggest hole I can see is the ability to distort or free transform vector nodes, whole objects or outlined text (curves). This is a tutorial on creating 'curved' text using 'free transform' tools in Illustrator from 2000:http://www.balloontales.com/curved-type/ Or selective scaling when nodes are selected. Here's an example of the function; keep in mind this isn't about WHAT is being created, it's the 'how'.http://www.balloontales.com/tv-shape-balloon/ Just added functionality to node/vector manipulation and I can then say goodbye to Adobe Illustrator. If these functions already exist, can someone point the way to any related tutorials? Thanks! Good stuff so far; just need a few more tools to be GREAT stuff. G.

Apophis Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I agree! These features are ESSENTIAL to completely escape from the grip Adobe has on us. Apophis elmonopascual 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterFulanito Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Those are killer features for me. For advanced users, AD is still kind of some steps behind Illustrator but here it comes, little by little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
