A torus-knot projection creates one closed curve and computes depth at every crossing. Cleared underpasses and layered gold highlights preserve its real over-under order; the example has nine crossings. PopNow can create missing source imagery after a quote; owned assets and local rendering also work.

Questions
What is actually editable?
A torus-knot projection creates one closed curve and computes depth at every crossing. Cleared underpasses and layered gold highlights preserve its real over-under order; the example has nine crossings.
What files will I receive?
Knot PNG and editable vector strand paths. Closed curve coordinates and over-under crossing ledger. Crossing count, depth-order checks and reproducible geometry.
Can I use this directly for physical production?
No. The closed curve and over-under crossings form a screen artwork, not a tested weaving plan. Rope length, thickness, tension and physical construction need separate design and testing.
Does this require paid generation?
Local rendering uses no generation API. Reuse suitable owned images; PopNow can make missing source artwork after an exact quote and approval.
