Export to .PSD
-
@VectorStyler I am patient. I will just keep VectorStyler in sight in the meantime. Perhaps even buy it for non-animation work because I really like the listed features.
-
@Kemelvor BTW: about animation: there are no animation features yet in VectorStyler (and none planned), but you may want to try out the Blended Shape and Blended Symbol features (new in 1.2). These are not blends, but single shapes (or symbols) created from two other shapes (or symbols).
Also, may be useful for animation, the Number Variables feature introduced in 1.2. Any numeric attribute (of a shape, style or effect) can be defined as a number variable, or as an expression of number variables.
-
@Kemelvor PSD has some basic vector support (shapes).
Is there a need to export vectors as vectors to PSD? -
I didn't really expect animation feature in VectorStyler in the first place, AE (and later on Blender) do that work for me. I don't mind using multiple software for my work, which is why I'm wishing for .psd export since most accept it !
I keep Blended Shape/Symbols in mind. I am using something similar in my current software, so I'm glad it's here too !
I'm curious about Number Variables, I will tinker with it, it seem promising.VectorStyler seem really complete and so far I haven't met any hindrance for what I'm wanting to do. It's even a straight upgrade over the current software I'm using on some points. Special thumb up for the shape/distortion tools, I didn't expect something so good and versatile. And the excellent documentation that allow me to get quickly used to it.

@VectorStyler Yes, if the option is offered to keep some basic vector support, it's even better. I'm quoting myself but : [Basic vector information kept for simple shapes (for example, unicolor with uniform outline, or without one) is a bonus, but not a necessity.]
This is what I had in mind.

@Kemelvor Export to PSD file format was added in build 1.2.020. It should work with exporting as much vectors as PSD supports.

(edit: i think i misread parts of your posting, as you are
using after effects. But maybe my post here is somehow
useful, so I'll leave it like that, but edited somewhat.)Do you know the vector graphics Program "Cavalry"
Sometime called the Mograph app of vector graphics.
Cavalry are able to do Animation in the direction of
after effects. Its not pure vector graphics some effects
will be bitmap effects.Cavalry have a free Version, only Account is needet
the free Version allows also Animation

This could also be a great solution for exporting vector shapes out to a raster program to be converted into selections and then used to contain or exclude painting within. Quick googling shows that both Affinity Photo2 and Procreate can open PSD files that include vectors. I will have to experiment more with this

I have just seen, after a few months late. I was checking on VectorStyler to see if it was added.
As promised, I will buy the software soon and use it as my main vector software ! Thank you for listening to my feedback and adding that feature quickly !

https://cavalry.scenegroup.co/I knew of Cavalry but it's not the tool I need for what I do. However I have discovered Moho, who is also a vector-based animation software (also support .PSD and .SVG imports), and I have replaced After Effects with it since then.

Moho looks cool, seems also that it have an
impressive Feature Set
