Turn A Single Object Into A Repeat Pattern In Affinity Designer

[@Jadestar83]

Literally the ONLY video on KZbin about repeat patterns that I understood and could imitate perfectly! Thank you!

[@bethjoyce4666]

I was going to say the same thing. Been trying for HOURS to do this and watching several other videos. This was the only one that worked :)

[@shannonbartlett829]

@@bethjoyce4666 Nick's the best!!

[@alleahak]

I watched so many videos and this is the one that actually worked so easy

[@bibipu23]

YOU SAVED MY LIFE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Finally a clear and helpful tutorial, it works magic!

[@suzannes6738]

Great tutorial. I watched first, then watched again, pausing as I went through the steps. The tutorial was very clear and I was able to replicate it perfectly. I've subscribed!

[@DevEnabled]

Incredible tutorial and result. Much appreciated.

[@moonshynesflorida3239]

Thank you ! I will be signing up for your class

[@lynnh.419]

AMAZING!! You made this SO easy to follow, thank you :))

[@christiannilsen2835]

What about quality loss as it's jpg? Would exporting to SVG make more sense?

[@2blessed2care]

Thank you for your simple and clear tutorial! This was easy to understand! I kind of like this better than how Adobe Illustrator repeating patterns work!

[@NewManDIY]

Thank You very much👍 Nice video🤩

[@alexandria_g]

Thank you! It made perfect sense

[@tinyt8492]

Thank you so much! This is gold!

[@KateDubey]

Thank you sooo much!! It helps me a lottttttt :)

[@hateml7380]

Thanks for all the priceless information you give out

[@snowyowl3141]

Thank you for your tutorial. When the file was converted to bitmap, is that different than vectorizing the pattern? Do you have a repeat pattern video that uses vectors so that the quality of the images/motifs are not blurred by enlarging them?

[@christinehaylock8428]

From what I can gather, Affinity still doesn't offer vector patterns. Fingers crossed it comes soon!

[@itzyata]

Great tutorial! Just what I needed.

[@xdm-xponentialdigitalmarke3963]

Awesome tutorial. Thanks

[@ourjourneyonpicoisland-car552]

Wow that was amazing!

[@trent797]

Very informative....thanks!

[@ivan97ism]

hi, can I also do this in the ipad version of the app?

[@fatimah1487]

I recognized you. I watched your inkscape tutorial

[@jerrettdigital]

This is so helpful but it looks like the fill tool is not in AD2 or it has changed and I can't work it out unfortunately.

[@veronicah6766]

I can't find the transform tool. I can find under Layer/transform- but my only options are rotate or flip. The AF 2. Did they do something different with the transform tool? I used to find it easily. Did I do something to make it go away?

[@ogfunkmaster]

Does anyone know if there is a way to make a pattern like this without rasterizing your design?

[@captainslocum]

Great tutorial. I have just subscribed. Question: How do you get the object that overlaps the edge of the document to be visible? I only see the part on the document, the rest is invisible. I cannot see a setting to change this. Many thanks.

[@RAWTAGSFXT]

I I remember correctly minus (-) toggles what’s visible outside of the document.

[@trent797]

For me the key is \

[@lulusalazar3952]

Hi! Have you some video about how to use a set of pattern from freepik? I do not know how to use one by one

[@angiejohnson7228]

When I click the Fill tool, I'm not seeing the option at the top for Fill Type where you chose bitmap. I see Tolerance, a Contiguous checkbox, a dropdown for normal, darken, etc. and then Source which gives the option of Current Layer, Layers Beneath, etc. I don't see the Fill Type menu anywhere. What am I missing?

[@trent797]

Sounds like you are in the Pixel Persona and using the Flood Fill Tool. You need to be in the Designer Persona and use the Fill Tool. Up at the top left under the File menus, choose the Designer Persona and then you can choose the Fill Tool that he uses. It looks like a rainbow wheel.

[@carolinedaniell285]

How do you translate this into a surface pattern design for POD purposes? I tried & got wide white lines between tiles 😮

[@computercreationz]

Just subd, thank you for what you do

[@cheungirisful]

Thank you very much!

[@harijomk]

Thank you so much.

[@eileenfin83]

Hi everyone! Ive seen lots of tutorials on how to create repeats using symbols or singular images at different sizes. Ive been struggling to create a repeat using Affinity with one of my scanned images, I cant find a way to get rid of the seams, I'm beginning to wonder if this is even possible? Im hoping someone out there has managed to do this and can tell me how? Any help or advice appreciated :)

[@mirelleinisrael]

Thank you!

[@zombiebobo]

Thank you

[@kentrebeccadavis4631]

I have hard time to look too white document board where your mouse move. I have low vision. I can see better dark mode and I able to see your mouse move and click.

[@chrismonty69]

This is awesome but I did notice when I zoom in on the bitmap file that the edges looked a little pixelated. Will this be an issue when printing out on screen printing positives?

[@bibipu23]

I think you can just do a bigger size than 400x400! The important thing it's that it's a square :D

[@alexvelis1]

how do you get the image to be on the front of the square? when I duplicate it and place the image on the edge of square the image does not show on the black of the screen

[@DesignMadeSimple]

You may have an artboard enabled instead of the regular canvas. It should still work though. The part of the design that extends beyond the square gets excluded anyway.

[@djamelxyz]

Thx a lot!

[@underthepink7]

how do i do this in an adobe program? AI or Ps?

[@davewhitaker1179]

DMS, I replicated what you did here and it worked really well. However, I've hit an issue that I can't figure out. When I try and export the pattern-filled image as a PDF it only exports the small image that is used to create the fill. Do you know why that is or if it is something that is being done incorrectly. As an additional point, when I export the pattern-filled image as a PNG or JPG, the image renders correctly, just not as a PDF. Hoping you know the answer. Your Affinity tutorials are gold - keep up the great work!

[@frederikkedahl4508]

I have the same problem, would love a solution to this

[@janelleburdick8753]

Are you wondering about saving the tile as a vector file rather than pixel based? I’m also wondering this.

[@rogeriozender]

deu certo!!!😀

[@lacardozarojas]

Nice!

[@memento-morri404]

This is great and all, but how do you MAKE repeating patterns? Krita has an INCREDIBLE ability to live-tile a repeating pattern so I can draw seamlessly at the edges to create a perfectly tiling texture. Does Affinity have this capability? My main complaint with Krita is the performance issues, so if I could get this to work with Affinity that would be AWESOME! :)

[@theeditorrestrial]

I'm reallllllllly liking Affinity suite. Buddy of mine pointed me to it and now with Davinci i'm a gnats ass away from saying adios to Adobe.

[@jomsies]

you can show the centerpoint and just snap it into the corner.

[@danieledney5775]

Awesome but wish it was the same guy teaching how to do it in illustrator 😢

[@philmoran5898]

awesome tutorial - thanks
