I have tried using GIMP but I just can't get the process right and it's just easier for me to pay for the files I need. Once again though, I am looking at the add-ons for Designer and I'm wondering how efficient it would be for duplicating an image like the one attached and creating a 3D pattern using only the tools in Designer 1.187. The only problem I have is I can't DEMO the vector tools so I can't completely understand if I can make this work ( I think that is a mistake for CW to not allow this but there must be a reason ). The only part of the image which I would duplicate for the 3D design would be the belt and in.. the tartan would be ignored as would the shield/banner.

Any input from users of all the add-ons? Is this an image that could be used for the basis of a 3D pattern using only designer 1.187 and the available add-ons?
