Pšenda Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 Before this is added: earl_grey 1 Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.5.7.2948 (Retail) Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 24H2, Build 26100.2605.

Domvel Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 This would be nice. Affinity Designer should have this feature to create a flat long shadow shape or effect to drop this shadow.
Kuttyjoe Posted February 19, 2020 Posted February 19, 2020 Coreldraw added this specific feature in one of the last 2 releases, but Illustrator does not yet have it. You need to use object blending to get this effect in Illustrator. It's a workaround. But yes, it would be cool if this feature ever came to Affinity Designer. The more features, the merrier.

But wouldn't ya know, there is an inexpensive plugin for long shadows... Isn't a plugin system great when an application doesn't provide X features? (Serif...hint, hint.) Bryce and Jowday 1 1
Kuttyjoe Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 I looked this plugin up and tried to see if I could buy it, but the link was broken. But yeah, there are a lot of great scripts and plugins for Illustrator.

It's not always what an application can do natively but how can it be extended via add-ons or scripting that may be a determining costing factor. Wosven and Jowday 2
