Affinity Designer Tutorial - Using Embroidery Brushes on Text

Рет қаралды 2,519

In this video tutorial, I will use the Affinity Designer embroidery brushes created earlier on text and letters.
I apply the Textured Image Brushes in Affinity Designer's Vector Persona to text and create line font letters. I show you some of the pitfalls and the workarounds when working with brush strokes in Affinity Designer.
For this video I used these FREE embroidery brushes:

and the Alphabet file I created is here:

The brush creation tutorials can be found on my website:

One of my favorites channel... thanks for your afford to make videos, do you make with affinity V1?

@2dgameartguru 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! I do make most videos in v1 still as the tools are fairly similar unless it's features unique to v2 like the shape builder or the warp groups.

How do I go about getting this effect inside the letters. I have your brushes for the outside of it. But nothing for the inside.

In the video, I used a pattern/ bitmap fill [in the drop-down box of the Fill tool] to add the checkered patterns. You can add a solid fill or a gradient... or add a solid fill and then add more lines on top with the brush to make the whole shape look embroidered.

Thank you for this, I also commented earlier in another video that I couldn't figure out how to find the files. I am still lost on this. However your files imported in V1 just fine. In V2 I cant find the files. it says it imported but cant figure out why its not compatible or maybe I cant find where affinity loaded the file automatically. No issues in version 1 though.

It should show up in the Brushes panel as '2dgameartguru - Embroidery stitches'. I tested it and it works. Just remember that these are Vector brushes - make sure you are in the Vector Persona.

im so lost.... I downloaded it. how did you see the category in affinity designer. Is it different for affinity designer 2? Do I have to create a new brushstroke category before using it. Please help.

You drag the .afbrushes file into Affinity Designer v2 and it should show up in the Brushes panel as '2dgameartguru - Embroidery stitches'.

The file is not downloading into v2.2 Its crashing Any suggestions?

@2dgameartguru 9 ай бұрын

That's odd... I just tried them in v2.2 on Windows 11. What OS are you running?

@2dgameartguru 9 ай бұрын

That's odd... I just played around with it some more... and it crashes when I try to edit the brush settings. That's very odd. I will have to look into this but really have no clue where to start as these as just plain PNG images. I usually work in v1 to keep things compatible with users that have not upgraded. I never thought there would be an issue with something this simple.

It updated!!! I dont know what happened but everything is working great once they sent out that new update. Thank you so much!

Its working better in version 2 but its probably some compatibility issues. if I outline the text as a brush its perfect.
