Teejay2011 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 hi when the Affinity first launched i remember seeing a clip .... someone from the affinity team were discussing what was to come this person said the code was written for the colour mesh tool ....and they just needed time to install it my question is How much time... if this tool is to be in the next version of Affinity then ok .. i understand the need to have reasons to buy .. but when ... its been a long time waiting. Or have you dumped that tool altogether. thanks .Teejay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 6, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hi Teejay2011, The Mesh Fill Tool is still on Designer's roadmap but wasn't implemented yet. The roadmap covers all panned updates for the 1.x cycle of the app so it will still have to come at some point (no eta for any specific feature).

Maybe the roadmap got carried off in a sudden gust on the walk over to McWotsits - It got lost - maybe lying tattered in a hedgerow at the side of the A52 for the past few years? 😉 MattP 1 Quote Mac Pro Cheese-grater (Early 2009) 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon 48 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC Ram, Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5, Ugee 19" Graphics Tablet Monitor Triple boot via OCLP 1.4.3 - Mac OS Monterey 12.7.3, Sonoma 14.1.1 and Mojave 10.14.6 Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo 1.10.5 - 2.4.0 Betas 2.5.0(2430) www.bingercreative.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite right, @Alfred, it was an Exige - they're very similar, but just not the same I didn't comment because I'm busy with other tasks and I don't really have anything thrilling to add... Yes, I wrote the Mesh fill in DrawPlus, I know what to type and where to make it in Affinity Designer - the bigger issue is the tool itself, which takes longer to write, but my main reason for not adding it yet is that I'm still favouring the addition of a different type of gradient, that achieves what people are trying to do with a Mesh, but in a much neater, more manageable way... I don't really want to add 'bloat' (a tool that's there 'just because Illustrator has it') when we could do something better, but I understand the frustration of not having it (or the other option) at present... But once I add something, it's there forever - and I'm not sure if I want to commit to having the traditional Mesh Fill tool forever? Perhaps I have to, but any time spent writing that is time NOT spent writing the thing that I think would be better, so it's hard to justify, if you see what I mean?

It would be great to have a Mesh Fill Tool, a vector Perspective Tool, a Roughen Tool, a Dimension Tool, a Blend Tool and various other goodies, but if they can’t be straightforwardly replaced with better implementations at a later date it’s obviously rather limiting.

Teejay2011 Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 i think i get it .. you want the tool that you believe is better and that you have on the back burner why not just pull it of the back burner and give us it...please i have never had photoshop so i wouldnt know what they have. but i believe affinity designer is lacking something in the colour department Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryLou Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I have to agree with Teejay. We were promised this which is one reason many of us bought the program. I'm thinking maybe there was a big mud slide that caused a huge road block. While Designer is nice, DrawPlus is a better program. It has great features and it's disappointing to NOT see them included in Affinity. Maybe they need to get a crew to remove the mud from the road and give us what was promised so long ago. impossiblecolor 1 Quote Windows 10 Home Affinity Designer 1.6.4.104 Affinity Photo 1.6.4.104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaryLou Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Two years is a long time to wait.

MaryLou Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I would also like to see some more features in Publisher. As it is now, I cannot give up PagePlus. I do a monthly publication of about 20 pages and actually tried doing it in Publisher but it just did not have the tools that I need. it has the best cutout feature that I've ever seen in any program.
