Affinity Designer Tutorial - Using Layer Effects for an Inflated 3D Effect

In this video, I create effects similar to Adobe Illustrator's Inflate. Affinity Designer has no single function but you can create similar looks by combining the layer effects 3D and bevel.
I created 5 different examples - from simple shapes to more complex designs. There are a lot more ways to use these effects. Play around with them and use them on your own designs.
It's a lot of fun!
Keep in mind, that these are Affinity Designer-specific effects and won't export to other vector formats without pixelation. Even though you apply them to vector shapes, they are essential bitmap/ pixel effects.
