Hi Stefan!

@You : "...nice workflow and nice tut's!..."

Thanks a lot! You're welcome :)

@You : "... Here i like to show one addition Mac users..."

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience!

This is the 2nd reason for which I created this thread : sharing personal 2D workflows involving Moi and Affinitiy (Designer and Photo)

The 1st reason is...fun! I like this kind of stuff!

You talked about Art Text 3....yes, I already knew it and some months ago I played with it on a iPad of a friend of mine.
Very nice software that unfortunately doesn't exist for Windows machines.

But...even if here I wish to talk mainly about Moi and Affinity Designer, I want to thank you because you made me remember also
the "daddy" of Affinity Designer, that is Serif DrawPlus!!!

And I still own one license of its latest X8 version that I use sporadically on my laptop.

There you can use a tool called "Instant 3d", a sort of very limited version of "Art Text".

Furthermore, although Affinity Designer is very powerful and with an excellent UI, DrawPlus X8 has some very interesting features that in Affinity are still missing.
For example Tracing bitmap images and other little but very useful stuff.

At the end of this message I want to ask you a simple thing that I didn't understand reading your message.
Just out of curiosity...

I see in your picture that you have pasted into Designer the results of Art text elaboration (I suppose).
Ok.
But...did you make some elaboration also in Designer ?

Thanks in advance.

I hope soon to publish some new "quick and dirt" tutorial for Moi and Designer.

Ciao!
