Digital art program journey?
➡ MS Paint
➡ Photoshop 5.5
➡ Photoshop Element 2 (I think it was 2?)
➡ Photoshop CS2
➡ Photoshop CS6
➡ Photoshop CC2018 (Light/Portable)
➡ Blender 2.8
➡ Blender 3.4
➡ Blender 3.6
I still use CC2018 to make some 3D alpha brushes. I have no reason to update Blender (yet)

Past me used a font and didn't take note of what that was AND she rasterized the layers so it's not like I can even click into the damn layer with the text tool to see.

PLEASE. I illustrate solely in CSP and can work with vectors, it's not an issue, but rasterized art cannot be turned into vector art later! I have to START in vectors!
I've only had this issue once and thankfully we caught it before the work was finished, so I didn't have to redo too much.

Reminder to everyone hiring an artist: If you need vector files delivered, that needs to be established up-front, before work starts. I cannot give you vector files because I do not work with vectors.

— No IDML export means that you're more tightly locked into Affinity than you would be into the Adobe suite.
Right now it looks like the only way to get a LOT of text out of Affinity is exporting to ePub, which will give you a bunch of HTML/XML. Exporting out to PSD gives you rasterized text.

why not go into the original image and use the original font/font colour? even if you rasterized the text layer it isn't hard to make shit match. I've done it before when updating info on an old ref sheet (hell, I do it every year so the age is right on my ref).

never talked about the tpot showing but i will now
the theatrics weren't that good actually?
the entire showing was in standard definition, which isn't a big deal. but i spent 75 dollars for me and a few people to go to a tpot showing and getting rasterized 4 in my face wasn't what i was expecting

Finally, if it were me doing this work, I would want to stick with voxelized worlds for procedural content, or rasterized for statically authored. Very small chance I pick SDF for static author too depending on game. Don’t be like me and only write engine code and never sims! Forever prototyping…

like I really dislike games that are 'pixel art style' rather than a 'drawn image that is rasterized to a specific standard due to hardware limitations'

Color prints get rasterized to a pattern that’s different from a pixel grid, too, which means higher dpis give you diminished returns (ink droplets can only go down to a certain size, and there’s color bleeding on lower quality paper).
Or in other words: 5k is likely fine for up to 25” long prints.

Trying to export hypermall without rasterized text makes affinity crash. No error message, no freezing. It just closes
So um. Woops.

(i also just wanna waggle geometry to my whim) overcomplicated? maybe. i dont know. i dont want a rasterized thing i want to like. change its parameters dynamically to my whims and go ohhh looks good let me keep trying. kinda like vectors i guess but. auuu

i think it could be so interesting to either have a bizarre column by column, rasterized in first person text view, or to have descriptions of things your character can see which you can't.

There are big time artists out there who don't even bother to hide they are painting over rasterized 3d models bc I was always confused how they could churn out fanart 2 hrs after a new gacha character was released.
Then I got decent enough to See.
This was before g-a-i btw.

Hi #mammal friends, are there any rasterized density maps for white tailed deer out there? Preferably with some historical data (ca. 1970 - present) as well? Many thanks!

So most of my graphics understanding comes from an end user artist perspective besides using processing one time for a homework assignment, I always thought that raster and vector graphics were totally separate things but am I correct that the pipeline means it's all vectors until it's rasterized??

You can say what you want, but the fact that I can play Cyberpunk with path tracing turned on at over 100 fps per second, is revolutionairy to me. I wasn't used to that. I was used to play it rasterized (and not so comfortably) with my old 3050 8GB. It opened up a new dimesion of gaming for me.
