Quartz Composer doodling

[Tigris]

The sad thing about this is:
My rig is on an autonomous network and I don't use MIDI besides to select FX and switch modes, Quartz can use OSC AND MIDI inputs, so it seems easy enough to build a Composition that you can use to dynamically render Pictures and stuff on screen.
That's what I get for using the X1s :-/

Can't make any promises, but I might try hooking up my KontrolPAD later to the PC and see how well that goes.

EDIT: I revise my previous statement- I haven't gotten a clue of Quartz yet. Just discovered that you can "Render into Image" and then filter the hell out of that again... More Method To The Madness!

And by madness I mean this!

Incredible, how powerful this thing is- rendering stuff like that on the fly.

Okay, added a nice Garraud-esque webcam-thing to it as well, videos and screens just don't do this justice.
I'll continue working on this, perhaps as a next step adding some Midi-Overlays into the mix.
If you have questions or suggestions, just let me know.

This will probably be my last posting on this- seems there's not much interest in this topic.
So- one last hurah:



I'm out.

dude I've been watching this with interest, just don't really know enough about it to make any kind of useful comment! Nice video above, I wish I had ANY idea how it was done!

[Halukar]

agreed, i think it's super cool, but i'm at a loss for any sort of usefulness....

so you are using it through quicktime, do you think you could run it and traktor on the same computer through the use of an esxtending desktop? or would the rendering be too much for a lap to handle while trying to keep a low latency?

Thanks, Good stuff.

[Tigris]

Hm, runs at around 30-50 fps. Using OS X, I think you could use it with Traktor on the same PC.
I'm messing around with loading videos into this right now, the whole thing was thought of as an easy way to include VJ-capabilities into Traktor-sets.

I am very interested in this as well. How about turning this into a open source project and let more geeks go wild with it?

Maybe post the source to github?

EDIT: have you seen this (CoGe)?
