evtonic3 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Not sure if people out there are using AD like me but I am designing a t-shirt that requires lots of small objects that make a distressed look of the shirt. AD struggles so much and I have to wait seems like forever for it to even make a simple change of color to all these objects. Seriously disappointed as this is supposed to be the fastest vector program in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshTeriyaki Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's so weird, I've had AD working with numbers of objects that'd make illustrator look silly. How many objects are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshTeriyaki Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That is a little different to "Hundreds". The only thing I've noticed about the viewport is things render faster depending on how far away you are, like a region of interest. You could also try grouping some of these? That seems to have some effect on viewport performance. Affinity dev should have a good idea of performance caps but I'm fairly certain I've seen affinity handle more objects than that.

Staff MEB Posted June 2, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi evtonic3, Any program will have a hard time managing such a big number of objects/nodes. Leaving the performance subject for a moment, why don't you simply use a high-res bitmap instead? It's much simpler and faster to manage since you're using it as a texture (you don't need to edit the shapes/nodes here)...

evtonic3 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well I just remembered why I need this to be vector. T-shirt screen prints are all made from vector graphics so that they can burn the screens needed for each color that will lay on the t-shirt. So I believe I will need to rely on a tracing app to do this part. I just bought Image Vectorizer but not sure if I'm happy with what it does yet.

000 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 @evtonic3: Have you tried putting a colour filter on top of the layout rather than selecting all objects and changing their colour? This way you only change one object (the filter). Would love to play around with the file … do you mind sharing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evtonic3 Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Great idea Jens. just tried it and thats's what I needed to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 2, 2015 Staff Share Posted June 2, 2015 Jens, If you apply a filter or a FX the file will get rasterised too... 000 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
