Didn't use any knot making software for this, I plotted it all out from scratch.

Nicely done.

Nice result Erisian; I might not comment on all your celtic artwork but do enjoy your results. :)

Great work. I like the second one and the ripple. You inspired me to make an animated avatar.

I was able to open a monochrome version of my knot in Virtual Dub and copy and paste it over about 100 frames then save it as a PNG image sequence. I then imported this into Fiji and created a mesh which I textured in Bryce7.

Thank you. I don't know how it works, but Bryce and probably other 3D software is able to make an object transparent. The wonders of modern technology!

I would love to do a tutorial for you abraess but this was new to me and I found it a bit complicated. Glad you like the brush. I would love to see any work you do with it.

I love Celtic knots and this one inspired me based on an upcoming Metal Wurx tutorial I'm working on. Here are a few variations as a teaser. All done from scratch. I didn't take the time to make the segments overlay into a knot like the original but you get the idea.

Those are beautiful Draconian! I would love one of those as a pendant.

Thanks PC, I got the Bryce idea from M3D's voxel stack function.
