The Basisc of the Shape Builder Tool in Affinity Designer v2 and a sophisticated software for a T-shirt Design

Affinity Designer Video Tutorials

I’ve recorded a number of movies on the Shape Builder instrument in Affinity Designer v2 already [working with grids, fun puzzle grids, Celtic knots, and Advanced mandala design]. Yet, there appears to be a little bit of confusion and frustration on the subject of the Shape Builder. How to make use of it, when to make use of it, and primarily what to make use of it for. I recorded a brand new Affinity Designer Video Tutorial on the topic explaining [most] of the performance of the instrument utilizing easy examples.

The second video is a extra superior use of the instrument in a T-shirt design with entangled pencils. I take advantage of easy strains, increase them, give them a stroke, increase once more, after which use the form builder to create the interwoven look.

The Basics of Shape Builder

In this video, I’ll undergo the fundamentals of the form builder perform in Affinity Designer v2. The form builder is likely one of the nice additions in v2 of Affinity Designer. Once you get your head round it, this can be very useful and fairly simple. In this video I shall be working with six completely different design examples to point out you the fundamentals of the instruments, the motion and choice modes, and easy methods to use them.

In this superior video, I design a T-shirt print utilizing the pen instrument, the node instrument, and the form builder in Affinity Designer v2. I had the thought of entangled pencils as a T-shirt design and recorded the method. The form builder in v2 of Affinity Designer makes it doable to simply create these interwoven results. There is a number of shifting nodes, adjusting curves, and trimming concerned [which I did speed up for the video – the design took about 45 minutes to create.] I take advantage of symbols for a stay preview on a T-shirt mockup and add ornament and grunge results to the design.
