This week, you can get another knot script. Why another knot? Why not? You always have straight ribbons and would love to tie it to a tag, a frame or other decorative element. Now, if you have Paintshop Pro, and a straight ribbon, you might just be able to tie it into a realistic knot with shading. If you don’t have a ribbon to use, the script will create one for you. Unlike other knot/ribbon script, this one will actually have and accurate use of the length of the ribbon, so you can use a directional design, text, or gradient and have the knot look right. You can use opaque or translucent ribbon because the way the pieces are cut and shaped, they follow the actual path of a “normal” ribbon.
Not only you get a fun knot, but all the layers are left unmerged so you can insert elements between the layers or even inside the knot.
If you want the script to create the ribbon for you, you will end up with a 4200 pixels ribbon that you can use separately or to run another script on. For an interesting effect, choose a gradient or even a solid color with a texture (that will give you kind of a see-through ribbon!).
This script is available in my store: Creation Cassel .
And how about a chance to “tie the knot” for free? Everyone loves free stuff and i am sure you would love to get this script for free. Then, hop over to the DigishopTalk forum in this Knot script thread and give some ideas on how this script can be used. I will draw for a winner on Monday night. And remember, if you buy this script to take advantage of the sales price, you can still enter and if you win, you simply get a coupon for a future new release!
I am sure you want to see this knot up close so i made these two knots available for you. So in this samplers, i am including two straight ribbons and two knots made with them. The knots are in PSD format with unmerged layers so just about anyone can use them.
