    I had fun playing with it my way. Between an alt rainbow fill, contour, bevel, and transparency, I finally came up with this. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]

    Hey Joan You've got it! That looks great. And it's good to hear you had fun.

    I haven't seen a stereogram for ages! I loved it. Took me a few moments, but when it came into focus it was great!

    Great laugh! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

    Ross,

    basically there is no difference between 3D, 2D, vector etc for your design - it depends only on how a designer perceives his environment. All an excellent designer needs is a good eye and a fast, short communication line to the hand(s) that either draw his visions on a piece of paper with appropriate tools or illustrates them using a software.

    And then he needs a goal, a rock solid concept and the know how, the concentration and stamina to push through.

    I am convinced I could develop the knot with X as well - if I had the time. It would be lots of work because of the many shadows, highlights etc.

    But after all - it's of no importance if you use application A or B or C - the result is what really counts.

    Well, to be honest, X is the best 2D, vector and illustration tool that is currently available, because it is so intuitive, fast and precise. For this reason, I never used CorelDraw or Freehand again.

    And believe it or not, I develop most of my shapes for CAD, product design etc in XARA, then export the files in *.ai formats to import them into my CAD/3D system for further modification and modeling.

    XARA is just the best combination of a drawing pad with a pencil and the digital world, so why not give it a try with the knot in 2D? Give me some 48 hour days to get my job done, and I will do it in X as well :-) - or maybe I dust off my airbrush and give it a try with the traditional tools <big grin>
