Some of you might be looking for a good vector graphics
program for illustrations.
I can highly recommend, to take a look at "VectorStyler" (Mac/PC).
No subscription, one time fee 95.- USD / 84.- Euro.
I know and have seen a lot of vector programs. "VectorStyler" is one
of the most feature rich vector program I have seen in a long time.
It seems to me that the Devs have developed this program along the
lines of " you wish, we deliver ".
Here are some highlights:
Has a shapebuilder tool, blends objects even lines with gradients
( the line and gradients are also blended ), Align objects on a path,
mesh gradients, deform objects with a mesh , Symbols and the List
goes on and on ....
( it comes even with a build in Vector Tracer! )
There is a demo that works for 42 days.
( Maybe a reference to Douglas Adams " Hitchhikers Guide to ... ??? :) )
Of course ;-)
I have Affinity Designer on PC and Ipad and like it very much.
But if you read the Wishlist in the Affinity Forum, even smaller
wishes are pretty old and still only Wishes.
On the one hand VectorStyler fulfills these wishes and offers
a lot more and for that I find 95.- USD / 84.- Euro a bargain from my point of view.
I can just recommend to download the Demo and have a look at VectorStyler.
Its a german Site ( because i am german ;) ) , Use the download button below.
The upper one does not work. Is named as Trial but its the full working free Version.
Thx installed works fine except seems only in German ! :)
Now i have the name and found to download it in French ! :) https://expression-design.fr.malavida.com/download (Expression Design 4 )
tested works fine! But seems it's not the same spirite of Creature Home (functions for that i remember) :)
Yes funny anyway!
i must just find how draw a Brush with image or photo without close the path! :)
like above the lemon...
Maybe trivial but...maybe a background transparency...
Using fills and strokes
> Define custom brush strokes
To create a brush stroke from an image, you need a bitmap image.
Open the image you want to use for the brush stroke in your document.
Select the Selection tool in the Tool palette (or press V).
Select the image, point to Stroke on the Object menu, and then click Define Image Stroke.
The Define Image Stroke dialog box opens.
The vector brushes also have a lot to offer.
Use one as a brush stroke (left) and make the stroke size very large (right).
An old Illustrator trick to create an interesting pattern.
So a very smart one prog simple and efficient! :) Not a gas engine! That's cool!
On my picture of the day! ;)
