Good work.
Love the second one.
More please ...
:D .
The first one was a trial pic to figure out how to overlap beveled objects over and under each other. The second was actually easier since the steps were clearer for me. It could become addicting, trying to make the patterns more and more complex. Maybe some more when and if I can find the free time. :)
Wow, while you are braiding away, could you make me one of those hot pretzels sold at malls? I love those. Too much to eat, but very delicious.
Love the effect.
(BTW, I like mine with salt.)
Wow... love those knots Gman... is this making use of zmerge?
Looking forward to the next set :)
No, I wish it was that simple. But z merge merges things too evenly. This was basically done by cutting up the loop in non-crossing segments. After applying the 3D effect, the vector objects are converted to image objects, duplicated and the uppermost duplicates were erased at the appropriate places. Erasing also takes care of the bevels on the ends of the segments. Just have to make sure the segments have enough overlaps so they blend into each other smoothly.
Call me pretzel brain, Sally. I had the knot but couldn't decide on how to present it. Great idea from you! Thanks. :D
Well "Pretzel Brain", you left the brain out. Great presentation, can almost smell how good it is, looks freshly baked.
Add some mushrooms please ...
Sorry for being AWOL for too long. Post holidays blues seemed to have lingered a bit longer than expected. Highs and lows. Just have to go with the flow. Can't work up anything until now. I lurked, but didn't even have the energy to join in the discussions. :( :)
Mushrooms are hard to braid, believe me...:eek:

It is a lovely piece of work!

Not really a drawing. More like photo manipulation on some clipart photos from the Corel disk. And they're small, too, so not much detail to work on.
I like what you did, your work is always unique and a breath of fresh air.
If only some of that fresh air would find it's way into my brain... I still feel like going through the day with a wool blanket wrapped around my brain...:eek: .
Hi Grafixman
It's been awhile since I was here last (2+ years I think)
love your tangles
thought I'd add one.

Welcome back, Tom. :D Hope you find some more free time to post here.
Great idea animating the process. Might have a go with it myself.
OK, here's my quickie::D
here is another (not too good ) tangle
tom
That looks very good to me! :D Very well done, Tom! :cool:
Not done in P.I. ... just a Xara anim ...
Cool as always. Raymond. :D
Great idea on using shapes on paths. Looks good and saves the trouble of figuring out the over and under on the crossings...;)
The ending frames where the final shapes goes into the path of the first ones could be edited out, I think. The additional shapes makes the part thicker than the rest. No big deal, but for a perfectionist like you, it's worth considering...
Yup - 'tis just a matter of deleting the last two or three frames.Quote:
