[http://www.flypig.co.uk/?style=1&page=knot&style=1&dnload=knot&list=knot%20news&list_num=5 '''Knot'''] is a '''3D Celtic Knot''' generation and rendering application for exploring different types of randomly generated knots. Most '''[[Celtic Britain|Celtic]]''' knots are only ''sort of 3D'', in that they only use the third dimension for weaving the string, but otherwise exist on a plane. Knot will allow you to render these 2D Celtic knots in 3D. However, it also allows you to generalise these knots to create 3D Celtic knots rendered in 3D.<br />

Other features include the following.<br />
<br />
* Generate random 2D and 3D Celtic knots, rendered in 3D.<br />
* Dynamically change knot attributes like thread thickness, size, weave height, etc.<br />
* Colour the knot threads to distinguish different loops.<br />
* Experiment with both traditional and less standard knots.<br />
* Save knots for future reloading.<br />
* Export the knot models as a Stanford .ply files for loading into 3D modelling software.<br />
* Print out exported models as [http://www.shapeways.com/shops/flypig '''physical objects'''].<br />
* Generate both symmetrical and non-symmetrical knots. <br />

If you'd like to play around with some 2D knots before downloading the application, you can try out my [http://www.flypig.co.uk/?page=celtic '''Celtic Knot Web App''']. You can also read about the reasons why this application was created [http://www.flypig.co.uk/?page=3dprint '''in the first place''']. <br />
