@creative ok , as you are on mac dont know if you know " PatternNodes" ? where the company call it self " lostminds" this app works also with nodes and offers import of Bitmaps too here a link https://www.lostminds.com/patternodes3/ i always recommend also "Affinity Designer" for Pattern making, because Symbols in AD offers also flexible ways of doing this you can even use ADs Symmetrie Tool (PixelPersona) inside of a Symbol and draw with it

Here a video, its very old :), but shows the Watercolor Brush a bit. It is still vector graphics, therefore resolution independent. This Watercolor Brush is build in on the iPad app. I bought a few other one too. Watercolor the Vector graphics app "Concepts" [image: 1711280333913-watercolor.png]

Welcome! I hope you will find all you need with VectorStyler. I too have used tons of other (commercial and open source) vector editors and have totally fallen in love with VectorStyler for all its capabilities, active community, responsive developer and I cannot wait to see where it will take us.

@Ingolf said in Someone is "selling" VectorStyler under various YouTube channels?: You simply need to report these videos. I tried. Thanks! I immediately filed a report on all of these channels. Lets see how fast youtube (google) is when it comes to piracy.

@Harry Thanks for the info Well, that's unfortunate. But that's how it works sometimes. I don't think everything can be archived I'll have to think about how I'm going to deal with this.

@Boldline Added to my Shape from above a Bevel Effect for 3D and a little Stroke with a Profil and a Gaussian Blur Effect to fake the Light [image: 1706951393024-bevel-trick.png] Have use this Tricks in this Tutorial her https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/2452/built-a-funny-little-truck-some-steps-described/9

@ASAV42 Give it a try, let us know if there are any issues.

Happy New Year!

@Richard-Skover I will try to find that driver and test it.

@Li-Xiao Send me the email of your friend by email to me.

@Li-Xiao have also seen and used many and in terms of vector graphics features and background philosophy VS is already in the top league in my eyes the swiss army knife of vector graphics, so to speak

Thank you. I think I'm beginning to understand the gradients a little better now. Dick

@bubbles Hi and welcome to VectorStyler Here two Tutorials that may be be helpful for working with Grids. The Forum search it self offers also many filter options for searching about grid using first one is from @Devil-Dinosaur a "Isometric Drawing Tutorial" where a PDF is in the first Post. https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/2063/isometric-drawing-tutorial second one is from @pentool which offers some Action (Macros) for Isometric Graphics its call "Axonometric Transform Actions" https://www.vectorstyler.com/forum/topic/3334/axonometric-transform-actions

@Ayo said in Where does 'leading' belong?: But what if pragraph level in Exact mode were specified for example (char.12/)12 or Gap mode zero or 'cold set'? Have to figure it out (not implemented yet). My thinking is that it would set the whole paragraph to a fixed leading (ex. 12 pt), and character leading could override this value (leading could also be missing from the character attributes, if overrides are cleared).

@VectorStyler I switched to another document and tried to replicate, but it works fine now. The problem has disappeared

@Richard-Skover said in system requirements for vector styler.: I downloaded it on my mac mini and it went wonky. Than ks for reporting this. You machine should be supported. What is the MacOS version? Could also be that the default VectorStyler settings are not suitable for your machine.

Thank you very much, command, option shift worked. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Richard Skover

@kristin said in How to open existing EPS file.: I'm new and trying VectorStyler as a replacement for AI. I am not a "power user"..lol. I basically used AI in conjunction with Photoshop. I looked around and came up with this program that looks like it will fit my needs. I am on a Windows 11 PC. I tried dragging an existing EPS file into the main window; it seems as if a layer appeared but there's nothing on the screen other than a white canvas? Is there a you tube video that would explain some basics so I could get started opening a few files? Thank you! There are a few YouTube videos that can explain the basics of VectorStyler. Here are a few suggestions: Drawing in VectorStyler for beginners by Fred VectorStyler, Can it Design? by Ben Designs VectorStyler parametric deformers by Wombatstuffs

@_NM_ I think Apple's cut is now 15% for most developers.
