Those are fun to use. I hope some day we also see some real 3D text functionality too :)

2018-10-26 15:29:16 +0000 UTCOne I modified from Affinity Revolution tip was taking the "make a picture into a drawing" effect and continue to 'hollow out' the traced image. Then use full color version as a mask reference, copy the background with CTL-J, then do blur effects on that over-laid background piece. After all that playing around with gradients over 3 layers (Trace hollow, trace, full color, all copies of same model alpha) I had a 'spy' pose model fading to half crystal invisibility/cloak. I'll post details when I get a chance.

2018-10-25 09:58:53 +0000 UTCThanks so much Olivio for the cool shadow effect uses! You help me think outside the box of what a feature or effect is labeled. Quick 3D like font effects while still using 1 layer. Awesome!
