Hola. Gracias por tus tutoriales, han sido de ayuda en mi aprendizaje en Affinity.
Este mismo patrón, se puede hacer como un símbolo para que quede siendo un vector? pues de la manera que lo has hecho queda como pixel.

Hello Liliana, thank you for your comment, and glad that you found my tutorials helpful. If I understood your question correctly, the pattern is first created in a vector format, but when we export it to be used for a bitmap fill, it gets converted to a raster format.

Sí, eso es lo que haces en tu video y lo entendí, sin embargo me pregunto si hay manera de hacer el patrón repetido sin rasterizar, que quede siendo vectorial 😊

@@lilyportius73 As far as know, I don't think it's possible to create a repeated pattern in vector using bitmap fill, as bitmap images are made of pixels. I tried using an image in vector format such as eps and svg for the bitmap fill, and the result is the same. If I find a way, I can let you know.
