Full Version: Moi + Affinity : Moi for 2D workflows

Nice idea Marco! :-)

I used for my initial drawing for the Bubo and Bugi models also MoI, to obtain a nice curvature flow.

I simply started with ellipses and spheres, to form the bunnies... ;-)

Thanks Stefan!

I really like to find alternative ways to fit Moi into my current CG pipeline.
And vector graphics is one of the best field for it. But furthermore Moi is very useful also for creating supporting graphic for a further digital painting process.
If only could exist something similar to Moi on iOS I could "close the loop" and almost definitely get rid of my windows desktop/laptop.

The unique product that is powerful like (and even more) Moi on ipad Pro is onShape, the very well known cloud based CAD.
It's awesome and has super powerful feature but it misses two essential characteristics:
1) It has absolutely not the workflow of Moi, its speed of execution
2) It lacks any exporting feature on mobile. Only with onShape on desktop systems I can export things outside of it

Hi Marco,

I understand. It would be cool if something like a Wine Emulator for iOS would be available,
but as understood there is none available. Another thing is (according to rumors) that Apple
may release support for iOS, so that iOS apps can run under macOS, but this would not help
you either, because you have a Windows box.

Regards
Stefan

since this post was done many years ago a lot of the videos seem broken.
Anyway, from a workflow perspective and as I think MOI export and copy
to clipboard features have also moved upwards...

Interested to know:

Can affinity do a simple and quick 2 way svg import/export of 2D shapes
with moi using "clipboard pasting" between the two apps.

Note: Not interested in saving files and importing/exporting
- just interested in bi-directional "copy - paste"....

You can do this with a simple copy/paste from Affinity to MoI. To copy/paste from MoI to Affinity you can use the PDF Export script.

Have you a link to this PDF export script ?
Or it's just the native Export PDF ?

If yes a simple Drag & Drop to Afffinity is also possible when export PD from Moi is done!

---

To copy/paste from Moi into Affinity, use this which puts a PDF file into the clipboard:

script: moi.geometryDatabase.copyToClipboardPDF();

Not sure if it's native. I bound it to a Shortcut Key.

script: /* Copy PDF format to clipboard */ moi.geometryDatabase.copyToClipboardPDF();

EDIT: Hi Michael!

Thanks for the video Danperk - looks good.

I’m wondering if one could bypass the dialogue box
with a script/ shortcut that has the same pdf export settings shown in the video…

Yes you can pass in some options to use specific settings and not show the dialog, check out here look under "Scriptable options for PDF/AI export."

Thx for the info! (Michael & Danperk)

Advantage of the "Native" export(s) is that you can have a library of "PDF" files ready to drag & dropped" to Affinity! ;)

You have an Free Online "Illustrator;" https://www.vectorpea.com
tones of exports (not yet found if CTRL +C Crtl +V is working to MOi! :)
but of course normal export PDF or SVG are working! (curioussly not Ai for Moi)

Does exist an ClipBoard Import Ai format script to Moi ? Or It's implicit ?

@Pilou,

re:
> Does exist an ClipBoard Import Ai format script to Moi ? Or It's implicit ?

It's implicit - if the system clipboard has data in PDF, SVG, or AI3 formats that can be pasted into MoI using the regular Ctrl+V or Edit > Paste commands.

The reason why the other direction is separated out is because it shows a dialog box.

It works with Copy/Paste from Adobe Illustrator, but not sure about other vector programs.

Hi Michael,

-"Yes you can pass in some options to use specific settings and not show the dialog, check out here look under "Scriptable options for PDF/AI export."-

I couldn't see that information in the link you posted, I'm getting old, it could be me.

@danperk - Oops I put the wrong link there, try "Scriptable options for PDF/AI export" here:

Got it, Thanks!

the file Ai from Vectorpea not reloadable by Moi or Affinity 1 (a simple rectangle)

Hi Pilou,

re:
> the file Ai from Vectorpea not reloadable by Moi or Affinity 1 (a simple rectangle)

Looks like it's a newer style AI file that is actually a PDF file, not an AIv8 type file that MoI supports.

You can rename it to nouveau_projet.pdf and open it in Adobe Reader but it appears to be an empty page.

yep must be recent version ...in any case reloadable by Vectorpea... for other formats if necessary! :)
