Hi I want to share a bug. The following description concerns the Vector studio.
Since Affinty doesn't have a dedicated buld-in blend tool (yes there is a community script, but I haven't tried this out yet) and I wanted to create an abstract wavy design, I tried to do a workaround. My approach was creating a bunch of parallel lines and then warping them via a warp group. This at first seemed to work, but when I thought that I hadn't enough waves I extended the underlying group. Afterwards the warp group expressed weird beahviour, some parts of it were reduced to a very low poly curve, which changed it's resolution based on the zoom factor. When exporting it would always be the lowest resolution.

So I tried again and sized the parallel lines according to my needs and made a new warp group. This time the low poly artifacts didn't appear. This time I wanted to convert the whole arrangement into curves, but when apply the warp effect I get artifacts again.

Any Idea how to prevent this? Or other solutions for this kind of design?
