Smooo67 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I would so love to see a freeform gradient tool in Designer - you are almost there where you can select the way points in the linear tool but to then be able to have them as a controllable spline would be awesome. Is this something you will include into future updates? Cuando, 4personnen, pottering and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something you will include into future updates? I think it will come at some time (see the roadmap here. The call it 'Mesh fill tool'). You already can create something in that direction using multiple fills. It is not the same but worth a try: Cheers, d.

Smooo67 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 its a clunky workaround and sort of close but needs to be able to spline control the ribbon and its nodes for smooth mix blends - especially for organic shapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for some kind of textures it does work. I'm sure the Affinity team has some interesting things up their sleeves. d. Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2).

Is this something you will include into future updates? Agreed. I first started learning how to use digital art programs in school with Adobe Illustrator. I still miss using the puppet warp and mesh gradient tool to this day. Seeing Affinity coming up with their own alternatives would be great. Adding these tools would also encourage more people to migrate to Affinity, as it would no longer pay [for them] to have a ridiculous subscription to something that you also get for an one-time fee of $50.

scottvining Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 +1 !!!!! I was just about to move from Illustrator to Affinity, but can't because my artwork uses freeform gradients / mesh gradients all the time. Such a bummer! I was really looking forward to moving to Affinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
