"This is what I had wanted for so long. I can update a source
file in Photoshop and have my SymmetryWorks pattern automatically
updated. That's what I call efficiency! I can then use the updated
Illustrator file in my 3D rendering software to show the change on the
rendering... A chameleon walking in a fabric showroom, changing
patterns as he goes by comes to mind."

"I like just about everything about this plug-in. Mostly, I like
the flexibility. Math is fine for some, but I like skipping
that part and just experimenting with possibilities. With
SymmetryWorks, I get lots of delightful surprises. Far better,
more fun, and more interesting than any computer game!"

"The really exceptional and unique feature of SymmetryWorks is the
ability to create resolution free vector motifs, that can then be
expanded and placed into yet another design symmetry. These vector
repeats can be imported into a raster program at any size and
resolution. At present only very expensive high-end hardware systems
will allow the development of large-scale designs like those used in the
home furnishings and wallpaper industries. [But] vector designs can be
quickly developed in Adobe Illustrator using SymmetryWorks. This is
wonderful news for all textile designers."

"Aside from creating unlimited patterns with SymmetryWorks I find this software a
valuable aid for design ideas. Just getting in there and playing a little caused
me to think of the many, many things I can do with SymmetryWorks that I would
have balked at before just because of the sheer work of it. SymmetryWorks will
save you tons of hours of work by creating fantastic patterns and designs in just
seconds or minutes. It is well worth the asking price and more."

"I think it's a wonderful plug-in... [It] is just FUN pushing the buttons and seeing where it goes... Many variables, like adjusting control points and adding pieces to the symmetry after it's made, make it even more fun."

"I used SymmetryWorks to develop many background patterns for a series
of 48 animations. The animations are part of a book/CD package "Journey to the Center of the Internet".
The plug-in has some extremely powerful features that I plan to continue
exploring."
