This release adds animation with motion tests and stereograms, multiple colored lights, and strands that can be bigger, glowing, segmented, buckled, and divided into spheres. You can generate masks that aid compositing knots onto your own backgrounds. There are new, more colorful backgrounds, animated previews, a way to automatically create entire animations, and smoother-moving tilt controllers. Drawing speed has increased again, and you can specify what paint programs will open your knot graphics and movies.
Version 2.1
January 1995
This release increased drawing speed about 20%, added a new backdrop, fixed some display bugs and a memory problem, as well as a problem with the ‘blank’ backdrop’s color, which would sometimes be incorrect. The TIFF file problem in version 2.0 is fixed too.
Version 2.0
January 1995
The first release with controls to let the user change the modeling and rendering of knots. Knots are no longer hardcoded, but are editable and can be saved as documents. This release is shareware.
Sometimes 2.0 would create unreadable TIFF files.
Version 1.0
September 1994
The first public release. This version draws a single, unchangeable knot.
Future Versions
…Will probably support 3D file exportation, anti-aliasing, batch drawing, and will come with more examples.
