Symmetryshop Serial

All retail software uses a serial number or key of some form. The installation often requires the user to enter a valid serial number to proceed. A serial can also be referred to as a 'CD Key'. When you search for Hypermill 2009.3 Serial for example, you may find the word 'serial' amongst the results.

Introduction

Creating patterns in Adobe Photoshop is not as inspiring a task as I would have liked it to be --you need to use the Edit | Define Pattern option and that merely gives you a copy of the definedarea. Photoshop by itself has few options to create repeating symmetrical patterns -- and thoseoptions can be time-consuming as well. Artlandia SymmetryShop aims to fulfill that void -- and onceyou understand how it works, it's everything you could have wanted in an automatic pattern creator.

About Symmetry Shop

SymmetryShop is a Adobe Photoshop plug-in from Artlandia that works from within Photoshop'sAutomate submenu. Artlandia, an Illinois, USA based company creates graphic design software to createpatterns -- they also sell patterns.

Other than SymmetryShop, Artlandia also creates SymmetryWorks, a similar add-in that works fromwithin Adobe Illustrator. You can learn more about Artlandiaat their site.

Download and Installation

You can download the plug-in file for SymmetryShop from the Artlandia website. It's actually a zipfile that you need to unarchive and place in Photoshop's plug-in folder -- make sure that you quitPhotoshop before copying the plug-in -- the plug-in will be available inside Photoshop's File |Automate submenu the next time you run Photoshop.

The steps detailed work identically for both the Windows or Mac versions of SymmetryShop -- forthis tutorial, we are using the Windows version.
By default, the plug-in runs in a demo mode that limits which configuration options you can change andapply -- the full, registered version has no such limitations. Registration provides you with anArtlandia online account and an unlock key -- the unlock key is tied to your Photoshop serial numberso if you upgrade or change your version of Photoshop, you'll have to get in touch with Artlandia'ssupport department.

How To Use

Here's how you can create symmetrical patterns using this Photoshop plug-in.

  1. Open a new document in Photoshop and create a shape on it -- apply a solid color or gradient,for this tutorial we are using a gradient overlay as you can see in Figure 1.Alternatively, just open any image -- the SymmetryShop plug-in folder also includes some sampleimages.
    Figure 1: A sample image to start with
  2. Now, choose File | Automate | Artlandia SymmetryShop as shown in Figure 2.
    Figure 2: The Artlandia SymmetryShop menu option
    SymmetryShop works only with raster images -- since a vector shape have been created in the layer,SymmetryShop shows a warning message that asks you to rasterize the shape layer -- accept this optionby clicking the OK button.
    Note: Patterns in SymmetryShop are created on the basis of a found selection orworkpath. If SymmetryShop is not able to find selection or the workpath it will select it on its ownand proceed to create a pattern out of it.

  3. You will now see the SymmetryShop interface as shown in Figure 3.
    Figure 3: The SymmetryShop interface
    The interface is divided in six parts -- these are quite easy to use, as explained below:
    1. Symmetry Control has all the different default pattern algorithms -- forexample mirror, kaleidoscope, etc., which can be applied by choosing any of them.
    2. Layouts are presets that let you create some of the most commonly used types ofpatterns with a single click -- examples include brick, diamond, gradation, etc.
    3. Clip at Control Path allows you to change the required gap parameter betweenthe repeating patterns by using the Overlap slider, and can make softer edges by using the Featherslider.
    4. Tiling: Use this option to create number of repetition on the X and Y axes --this is only really useful if you are applying the pattern to the existing image -- for all practicalreasons, it's so much more easier to create a reusable pattern in Photoshop. Show isfor previewing the path or the selection found to create pattern.
    5. Preferences opens a new dialog box that you can see in Figure 4and Undo is to revert to the previous state.
      Figure 4: Preferences
    6. Control Path allows you to choose an area of the image from where the the pathor the selection for the pattern is procured -- I feel this is not as intuitive as it should have been-- entering pixel coordinates can be a process of trial and error and there should have been arrowkeys that allowed you to nudge the selection. SymmetryShop also allows to scale, skew, and rotate theselection.
    Note: Let the Preview check box be activated to see the changes being applied to theshape and ensuing pattern.

  4. After making the changes click OK to apply the pattern to active Photoshopdocument or choose Export to add the created pattern into your current Photoshoppatterns, so that it can be used in the future as well.

Figure 5 below shows a shape and the sample pattern created from a shape usingSymmetryShop in Adobe Photoshop. As you can see, the possibilities are endless.

SymmetryShop really shines when you select something in the artwork rather than letting the plug-into select a simple geometric region for you as we did in this review for reasons of simplicity. Then,you can create patterns like what you can see in Figure 6.

As a pattern junkie, you may know how to capture the structure of a repeating pattern in a diagram; that is, determine to which of the seventeen symmetry types a pattern belongs. Yes, we are talking about surface patterns, or wallpaper patterns, whose type is determined by what mathematicians call the plane (2D) symmetry groups. Turns out all pattern schematics are not made equal and, surprisingly, the most simple diagram, which is also the most useful for the non-mathematically inclined, is also the least known or, we might even be tempted to say, a well-kept secret.

Symmetryshop Serial

Traditionally, because you are dealing with symmetries, your pattern schematics would show symmetry operations, probably combined with boundaries of repeating units (“unit cells” or “fundamental domains”), and often made more intelligible by superimposing actual patterns produced by a simple asymmetric bit (a line, a comma, or a letter of an alphabet). Here are a few examples of the standard approach, which we show mostly to help you fully appreciate a simpler one that’s coming up next:

There’s no shortage of references that introduce pattern diagrams, starting from Wikipedia and including articles by Baloglou, Bart and Clair, and Bar-Natan, to name just a few.

As symmetry schematics get complicated rather quickly, one might settle on a representative icon for each symmetry type and jam all the 17 icons into a small space, as proven useful in the Artlandia symmetry panel:

But if we set out to find the simplest ever schematics, the prize has to be awarded to Andreas Speiser, who studied the general group theory and in that context looked into how symmetry operations combine to produce ornaments. The following schematics are cited from the 1937 edition of his book Die Theorie der Gruppen von Endlicher Ordnung:

This unpretentious diagram is unbeatable in its simplicity. You will notice how skillfully Speiser puts straight line segments to play up reflection axes, adds smallish ticks to highlight rotations—or longer ticks to emphasize reflections or glide reflections—and in so doing gives the schematics its altogether unmistakable look.

Feel free to download a vector form of Speiser’s diagram. If you are a SymmetryWorks user, you will also be able to experiment with the patterns and see how they are constructed.

And, as a side note, isn’t it amazing that a modestly small number of symmetry types rule the whole wondrous universe of repeat patterns, including masterpieces by Morris and Escher and countless other famous and anonymous pattern designers, from the earliest tribes to the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, to modernity.

Luckily, a modern-day Morris or Escher would not need to be concerned with the tedium of performing thousands of precise symmetry operations. That part of the job is conveniently farmed out to specialized pattern design software (also called pattern design CAD systems), such as SymmetryWorks, SymmetryShop, or SymmetryMill, which produce any type of symmetry at a single click on the symmetry panel. So you, the designer, can concentrate your efforts on a single repeating unit (motif) and immediately see how the motif instances interplay when they come together in a pattern. And then the simple pattern diagram in this post can save you some unnecessary trial and errors when choosing symmetry for the pattern structure you have in mind. And it’ll help you to grasp the underlying structure when you happen on an interesting pattern by accident, which is not at all rare when another symmetry is just a click away.

Here are some more examples of each symmetry type, in the same order, in case you wish to train your eye on Speiser’s diagrams:

And back to the title of this post, we challenge you to find or come up with an even simpler illustration of 17 pattern types. Let us know if you succeed! Until then the Speiser diagram will hold the grand title of The Simplest Pattern Diagram On The Web.
