 We've just updated most of the designs (embroidery and print) in the sample Gallery.  Take a look at the quality of the renderings, both in the thumbnails and in the Stitch Player application.

Also, the template example in the Gallery has been updated with a much more complicated design.  This new design showcases a feature of our template where text can be constrained by an envelope, causing it to scale to fit as well as follow a non-linear path in the design.

 Are you interested in developing with the LiveDesigner API?  Do you have questions about functionality, licenses, sample code, etc.?  Send an email to our developers at melcoapi@melco.com to discuss:

Feature allows to generate fullfillment file for multiple lettering/design elements rotated/scaled/flipped/positioned. Works with both embroidery and vector files.

Implementation recommendation for this feature is to manually position individual images of different elements (design or lettering) where you want for visualization and only use CompoundDesign feature when wish to create fullfillment file for vector or embroidery or use stitchplayer. An example of this is shown in the
gallery.
