This patch allows you to create indexed or named structures from multiple inputs. Named structures must have unique names for each object. If a duplicate name is used, "(duplicate)" will be repeatedly appended until the name is u nique. ... more...

VNC Server for Quartz Composer Based on libvncserver http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net more...

This is a rewritten version of smokris's (http://kineme.net/~smokris/) old File Type Patch. This version supports non-ascii file names and adds composition-relative addressing. This Patch provides the Uniform Type Identifier (UTI) of the specified file. For example, if the path to a QuickTime movie is specified, File Type outputs "com.apple.quicktime-movie". more...

The Files Tools patch includes several patches for File Input and Output, as well as structure loading and saving. * File Info - provides information about a file, such as its size, type, and creation date. * File Type - Provides the UTI of a specified file. * String With File - Reads a file's contents into a String. * String With URL - Reads a URL's contents into a String. * Structure From File - Reads a QCStructure from a plist file. * Structure To File - Saves a structure to a plist. * Text File Writ... more...

Yellowtail from within Quartz Composer. Created by Andrew Pouliot. A C port of Yellowtail java code by Golan Levin, who deserves much of the credit more...

This pair of patches converts between YUV triplets and Quartz Composer color values. A public release of the YUV Color patch, updated to work on Leopard. This version fixes some timing issues that would cause the patch to execute needlessly when the inputs didn't change. This will provide marginally higher performance for compositions using this patch (probably immeasurable though). It also autoupdates old compositions to use the newer patch object; This was necessary because we've changed some intern... more...

This patch connects with a Nintendo Wii Remote for control and input. Currently only one Wii Remote is supported. To connect the Wii Remote, you must either press the 1 and 2 Buttons simultaneously, or you must use the Red Synchronize button in the battery compartment. Uses the DarwiinRemote framework by Hiroaki Kimura. This is a public beta of our updated WiiMote control patch. Since there isn't one for Leopard yet, I figure this will at least help you get started before it gets to production. This p... more...

This patch Allows you to send any port to a remote destination receiver. This works within macros, and also works between compositions in the same application. This release of our Spooky Send/Receive Patch fixes a couple bugs and adds some additional control to the sender. On the sender, there's now an option to disable the patch's auto-cleaning behaviour. Usually you'll want this to be enabled to prevent memory leaks, but in special cases (in iterators, or when using it as a data-store), you don't wan... more...

A set of 26 patches for procedural texture generation, using techniques derived from Perlin Noise. This is pretty much a 1-to-1 translation of the excellent libnoise project (http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/), so the standard libnoise documentation (http://libnoise.sourceforge.net/docs/) applies verbatim. Unlike other patches, this patch is LGPL consequent to libnoise being LGPL. more...

This set of patches provides an object-oriented interface for building dynamic particle systems. Particle Tools is based on Tommi Ilmonen's Visual Effects Engine (VEE) (http://www.tml.tkk.fi/~tilmonen/vee/) and is released under the GPL. more...

Image Downloader (Blocking) is an alternative to the built-in "Image Downloader" patch, and is distinct in the following ways: * It blocks rendering until the image is loaded (unlike the built-in patch, which continues rendering, but the image may not appear until many frames have rendered) * It has a user-definable VRAM cache limit. Do a "Show Package Contents" on the patch bundle, edit the Info.plist, and check out the ImageDownloaderBlockingCacheVRAMLimitPercent property. It's a decimal scalar percent... more...

This is a quartz composer patch that reads the motion sensor. Recompiled for more architectures with http://code.google.com/p/websaver/issues/detail?id=3 patch by Mirek Rusin <mirek [at] me [dot] com> more...

A set of 12+ patches for rendering OpenGL primitives such as Points, Lines, Triangles, Quads, Cubic Splines, Point/Line/Triangle/Quad structures, Tori, and manipulating OpenGL parameters, such as Blending, Projection matrices, Depth Buffer tweaks, and more. Primitives include: * GL Context Information (formerly an independent plugin) * GL Point * GL Line * GL Triangle * GL Quad * GL Spline (modified version of QCSpline by Caleb Cannon) more...

Ambient Light Sensor: use the ambient light in the room as inputs. Only works with machines with ambient light sensors (e.g. MacBook Pro) more...

This is an update of our Apple Remote patch for Leopard. This patch indicates when the user holds a button, unlike the built-in Apple Remote patch. Like the Tiger version (http://fdiv.net/2007/05/16/apple-remote-patch-for-quartz-composer/), it's based on the Martin Kahr's Remote Control Wrapper (http://martinkahr.com/2007/07/26/remote-control-wrapper-20/index.html). Development for the Leopard version of the Apple Remote Patch was commissioned by dimitre (http://kineme.net/users/dimitre). more...

AudioTools now features support for QuickTime movie audio, frequency analysis, some bug fixes, some patched memory leaks, and some performance enhancements. Kineme Audio Tools is a set of four patches which provide some basic audio input and output functionality. * Audio Device Info Patch — Provides a list of input and output devices, and details for each device. * Audio File Input Patch — Provides image- and structure-based audio input from a file (useful for offline rendering with QuartzCrystal).... more...

A suite of custom plugins for Apple’s Quartz Composer, a realtime visual programming environment that comes free with Mac OS X (Developer Tools). The suite contains: * ACPlotter: An Oscillator-like Line-Renderer, extremely useful to visualize a value, that is changing over time. Just hook it up to an LFO to see what it’s doing. * ACStructureTools: Pop & push for structures (= QC Arrays) * ACSignalEnhancer: Various smoothing & scaling algorithms to improve (for example) incoming sensory data. Wit... more...
