"All the motifs/patterns in my new Abstra_Xian (Textile Design) collection have been done with Artlandia [SymmetryWorks and SymmetryShop], which, when mastered, are very easy to use and great. One design gives zillions of motifs and makes your imagination go wild. You want to keep all the created patterns and do all things with them."

"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."

— Martin de Blois, industrial designer

"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."

— Elaine Polvinen, Buffalo State College

"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."

— Vikki Dawson, TIEM

"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."
