Re: Possible to stop vector lines from becoming shapes when importing SVG files?

I have tested this in Affinity/Moho, and the only way that I can get it to fail, as in your example, is if I assign a Fill color to the Vector Brush - which is not normal . Thanks for testing that. I can confirm your result regarding the fill (didn't realize I had a fill color assigned to the Vecto...

Re: Possible to stop vector lines from becoming shapes when importing SVG files?

More great advice. Thank you! Especially this ...getting predictable deformations with minimal fussing makes it worth the effort. The extra work upfront really pays off later during animation. .... And based on the Moho content in your Demo reels, it's pretty hard to argue that great looking charact...

Re: Possible to stop vector lines from becoming shapes when importing SVG files?

Thanks again for the replies. For now, I'll be avoiding AD's Vector Brush for stuff I plan on exporting and animating in Moho. Either that or be prepared to redraw/trace any AD Vector Brush strokes in Moho using the Freehand tool. Or better yet, start creating more art in Moho and really learn the i...

Re: Possible to stop vector lines from becoming shapes when importing SVG files?

Thanks for your detailed replies. I did some more testing. It looks like it's only happening to the vector lines that were created in Affinity Designer using AD's Vector Brush tool. Vector lines made with AD's Pen Tool and Pencil Tool import into Moho exactly as drawn and with the same, or very simi...

Possible to stop vector lines from becoming shapes when importing SVG files?

Hi, New user here again with another question. I've been importing SVG files that I created in Affinity Designer into Moho. It's working pretty well, but quite a few of my vector lines end up being converted into shapes. I'd like to keep them as vector lines. Is it possible to convert the shapes bac...

Re: Question about Draw => Create Smart Warp Layer

I'm not sure what's changed with my Moho settings since my post on Friday, but now my demo/trial copy is working the same way as you're describing and the Create Smart Warp Layer is working as expected. With the Enable GPU option checked in the Preferences menu I can select/deselect Transparency in ...

Re: Question about Draw => Create Smart Warp Layer

@hayasidist, yes it's the demo version. I just read the part of the manual you pointed out. That could be it too, although I was able to import my own png and bmp files into Image layers and use the smart mesh on them. I just downloaded some random images off the web to try out the smart warp layer ...

Re: Question about Draw => Create Smart Warp Layer

Thanks for the suggestions. Enable GPU is unchecked in Preferences. I've tried Enable GPU both ways and no change in the Transparency option under Display Quality. It's checked but greyed out. It's the same for the GPU Acceleration option - checked but greyed out. When Enable GPU is checked in Prefe...

Re: Question about Draw => Create Smart Warp Layer

Thanks to both of you for the replies. I did what synthsin75 suggested. What happened was a bit weird. I opened the Display Quality tab. Transparency was greyed out but already checked. I tried toggling it off/on but it wouldn't let me change it (I assume because it was greyed out). However, when I ...

Question about Draw => Create Smart Warp Layer

Hi, Very green user here trying out the pro version of the software before deciding to buy. When I use the Create Smart Warp Layer under the Draw menu with png or bmp images, it creates the mesh but the mesh is not transparent and covers the image layer completely. Is there a setting I'm missing? I'...
