The Basisc of the Form Builder Instrument in Affinity Designer v2 and a sophisticated utility for a T-shirt Design

Affinity Designer Video Tutorials

I’ve recorded just a few movies on the Form Builder device in Affinity Designer v2 already [working with grids, fun puzzle grids, Celtic knots, and Advanced mandala design]. But, there appears to be a little bit of confusion and frustration on the subject of the Form Builder. Tips on how to use 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 device utilizing easy examples.

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

I had the concept 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’s 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 exploit symbols for a stay preview on a T-shirt mockup and add ornament and grunge results to the design.
