by the the response to what I thought was just a 'quick' image.

Eric that transparent one is incredible - I haven't had time to try Gary's suggestion yet and doubt that I will even dare attempt it after seeing yours.

Love the brush also - but then I love Xara's ability with brushes.

It's Sunday morning, you're supposed to be having a lay in! What are you doing up so early?

Thank's for the comments, but you are the inspiration so it should be me thanking you. Anyway, this time I am going to bed.

To see what the basic shape should be like is to create a simple twisted brush - apply it to a circle and ....

Christine since you posted your first image I have been hooked. It's taken me two whole days but here is my attempt at the basic shape. Many, many thanks for sharing your technique.

So glad to see you didn't give up, thats a very good torus and the colour blends are excellent. As you have found doing these can be addictive til you get it right.

I have another I have been working on, on and off for some time just can't get it quite right though - it is a border pattern which I can get right all the way round to the last corner then it looks wrong. I'll post it if I ever get it right.

I see you are a software engineer - I have had dealings with several software companies in Northampton - ( I am an I.T. Manager) - are you allowed to say which one you work for?

Christine,

I've gone back to more closely follow your original example. And I'm more impressed with your work than ever.

Adding the highlights and lowlights was difficult for me since I lack the graphics artist background that others on the forum have. Needless to say I looked closely at your and Egg's examples.

Thanks for a wonderful challenge!

I really like the continuous loop effect achieved with these knot patterns.

Christine: Awesome work!

Egg: Great work!!! Get some rest...

I am impressed by all of these.

Thanks for the encouragement. I agree, it certainly is addictive. Actually, I'm still having trouble using lines or line segments because I don't seem able to apply a linear transparency to lines (I have to convert them to shapes first). Alternatively, cutting out segments of brush lines leaves a visible join.

Keep working on the border problem you have set yourself - I look forward to seeing the results.

Who do I work for - I'm freelance but work mostly in the Healthcare sector.

That is reaaally cool!

Very nice looking creation!

I also enjoyed the animation that you created for our RAM that thinks he is a Wolff... [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
