Affinity Designer 2 Issue

Hello all, would like to know when CTA 5 will have update for edit vector in affinity as we can see on Faq page.

To my understanding you can use Affinity Designer 2 if you install it with Exe installers. Otherwise it’s gets installed in a Windows Sandbox which cannot be integrated into CA.

Hi Sunglass

Actually we have an Affinity Pipeline update coming in version 5.33 of Cartoon Animator. This is currently scheduled for release before the end of the month.

Once version 5.33 is released you should find using Affinity Designer with Cartoon Animator will be much improved as it will allow editing of SVG full bodied characters.

I’m new to CT5 and have been having trouble getting custom characters to work properly from my Affinity Designer 2. I keep getting errors ie; image is less than 1 pixel, etc. Will this fix this issue? The bones show up in composer mode but are not able to be animated… ?? Thanks

Hi…

Please do take a look at the new tutorials I linked to in my post above. These should help.

And also please refer to the Affinity specific setup instructions HERE. These settings should help eliminate the issues you are having.

This has all been great. I had CTA version 5.33 installed and re-installed Designer and Photo with the MSI/EXE versions (deleted the MSIX 1st) so the SVG files transports back and forth well. It would be nice if we could just “save” like from Photo on PSD files, but this is good. The tutorial from Kia went through a few steps a bit quick for me, so I made a short one that hits some details a little closer. Sometimes I make my own so I remember.
