I downloaded Affinity Designer, contemplating buying those brushes just so I can see how the dynamic brush engine works.
Designer is the vector variant of the Affinity suite. Its mostly a painting and illustrating program. Photo is more the equivalent to Gimp.
Doesnt relly matter because both programs use the same brush engine for pixelbrushes. In Designer you have to switch to the Pixelpersona.
AFAIK, you can use the trial version for 14 days without any limitations, and if i remember correctly its also at a 50% discount while the covid crisis lasts.
EDIT: the trial has been also extended to 90 days
The wispy brush i showcased is from the xenon-brush-pack-bundle.
