Tutorial Blend Tool Examples

The new blend tool is so fun to use. I was waiting for this feature since I switched to Affinity years ago.
Replacing the blend path still feels a little like a workaround, or is there there an easier way to blend along a custom curve?

You don't even need to use the blend tool to create the blend path. You can simply drag&drop any path/shape/curve into the thumbnail of the blend group in the layers panel. Just like you would when using vectors/curves as clipping masks.

Oh, that makes sense. I didn't thought of dragging it on the thumbnail. Just tried on the blend group itself. But totally makes sense. Much appreciated, Thanks!
