Stained Glass Software

I have got several transom-shaped windows in my house. Stained glass
windows to fit inside of them will be my first foray into stained
glass.

I am not much of an artist, but from all the pattern books I've found
available, that shouldn't prove to be much problem. Choosing the
proper glass to use in the designs might be hit or miss for me, but I
hope that I develop an eye for that over time.

My question is if there is software that can effectively manipulate
patterns. I can see myself putting many hours into manipulating an
existing pattern to fit one of my window openings when good software
would allow me to do it in minutes.

Thank you, Michael

Michael,

I read a review regarding this software http://www.dfly.com/index.html
and that it can modify existing patterns (scanned, etc..) and is
fairly easy to use. I haven't tried it myself, but hear many others
are enjoying the benefits of the software. It might be worth reading
a few reviews to see how others liked it.

Actually, what you are smelling is your sister.... We were trolling
for her and it didn't take much to get her to bite !
Hell, even "TinyJewels javahut" could have smoked her outta that
hole....

In closing, PLEASE feel free to F.O.A.D and perhaps you and
"SploogeBoy" could hold each others Dicks (if you can find em') while
you jump off that building with the 'great view'. Happy Landings F'K
Stick.....

Sincerely,

PS: "Moonraker" (AKA: "BoyWonder") you are now on "Google Ignore".

It may appear that way from the way he acts like Dennis, but Jman is
probably not Dennis. Still in Canada, apparently, but it appears he's
in Alberta rather than in BC.

Thanks for the recommendations! I talked to a very nice lady at
Southern Glass down here in Jacksonville, Florida, today, and she is
an absolute believer in the Glass Eye software from Dragonfly that you
have mentioned. I was envious of their beautiful printer/plotter,
too. What a great design combination.

Hey there Michael,

I hope you found what you were looking for ! If you plan to take a
course, I'd pay the extra money and try and get a 'one on one' with an
instructor instead of taking a class. You'll come out much further
ahead in the short and longer term.

just my .02
