How to Install Custom Patches Many of our Custom Quartz Composer Patches work on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). For Leopard Instructions, please scroll down a bit. To install the Patches on OS X 10.4 (Tiger), create the folder
You can also watch a tutorial on PlugIn installation on Vimeo at http://www.vimeo.com/809083 |
It's important to note that putting the plugins in your user Library folder (
/User/[username]/Library/...) will Not work.[ok, I was only partially kidding: I've made a plugin to allow user Library plugins to work too. Just wait a bit :) ]

thanks for the snapshot, i didn't know for the QCspline patch.
Very interesting one, just what i needed....
Is the ParticlePatch one of your own ?
ParticlePatch is http://kineme.net/FeatureRequests/StarfieldGeneratorBetterParticleSystem (integrating the VEE particle system), albeit very early in development. Maybe to be released sometime in the next month or two...
We got permission from Caleb Cannon, author of QCSpline, to do further work on his code --- this is the upcoming GLTools patch.

Using GLTools.plugin in QC
Lets say hypothetically I am a complete noob at using QC, how do I use the GLTools plugin once I have installed it? I put the plugin file in the correct folder, but when I look in the QC patch browser I only see Kineme A/V - no GL patches. I would really like to make some lovely 3D splines... Thanks for sharing your work!
Are you using the search function, or just scrolling through the patch creator? Search often misses kineme plugins, so we don't recommend it until you're familiar with what our patches are called.
Have you restarted QC? it doesn't load plugins on the fly (actually, it can, but doesn't in the current version), so you have to restart it after installing a new plugin.
Did you get the Tiger Version or the Leopard Version? If you got the incorrect version for what you're running (Assuming leopard, since you have AudioVideo installed), you'll get some messages and some broken patches.
Have you looked in the console? (Spotlight "Console.app") Errors get printed there, and can help figure out what's going wrong.
Hello, i've followed the installation guide, also i've watched the video tutorial.
QC isn't displaying into the patch library the kineme patches. I've restarted QC, i've rebooted my Mac but this doesn't help.
I've: Tiger OSX 10.4.11 - PowerBook G4 15" latest 2005. QC ver. 2.1.2(17.2).
I don't understand where you cwright said:
"Did you get the Tiger Version or the Leopard Version?"
I've downloaded some plugin like the ParticleTool (and its examples) and the LoadUserPluginsFolder. Nothing worked. Neither the examples.
Uhm where i fault?
Sorry for my bad english, thanks in advance, regards.

For Tiger, plugins Must be in /Library/Graphics/Patches (not /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Patches, like Leopard). Also, the majority of our plugins won't work on Tiger (ParticleTools won't, but LoadUserPlugins should, since it was designed for Tiger). LoadUserPlugins doesn't create patches, by the way, it just makes Tiger load patches from other locations, like Leopard (~/Library/Graphics/Patches, in this case).
Tiger = Mac OS X 10.4
Leopard = Mac OS X 10.5
The version matters, because QC changed a lot between those two versions.
Please include any info from Console.app -- QC usually prints errors there when something bad happens.
Rebooting your mac shouldn't be necessary, but restarting QC is required when adding plugins.
If you keep running into problems, please e-mail me personally and we can get this worked out. My e-mail address is at the bottom of each kineme.net page. (info@kineme.net)
got it. thanks.
I was trying to use the search bar ("kineme"). I can find them by scrolling. Thanks!
