Version: 1.3
Release Notes

This build of GLTools fixes numerous bugs with Snow Leopard compatibility, and some PPC bugs on Leopard as well. Some minor performance improvements were made, as well as other minor bug fixes.

Some new private patches were added/modified -- they're still private, so please don't expect them to remain compatible/unchanged in the future.

Please be as clear as possible with bug reports (include sample compositions, descriptions, steps to reproduce, etc.) -- we're rather backlogged at the moment, so saving us a few minutes here and there helps a lot.

This is a really simple gesture recognition trick. I'm inspired to post this from Dust's post on gesture recognition. (Thanks for the inspiration Dust!)

This qtz is an extremely simple idea, and not an all encompassing system for gesture recognition. The setup of the qtz is actually a bit leading in causing the participator to "do" what they need to do to make it work.

The leading thought was "what is the simplest possible setup to make an idea like this work?".

I just want to give mounds of thanks to Steve Mokris for Particle Paint, and Toneburst for the javascript from his Strokething.qtz, as well as Chris Wright...

This really reminds me of something I did in Nodebox awhile back...(http://www.vimeo.com/2927946)... but it's nice because there are all of the Particle Paint physical force patches easily available, which I love.

This is one where I REALLY wish that there was programatic control of layer via published input ports somehow, because I would like for the published settings to naturally suggest trying different layer orderings.

In order to get the "fill" effect, you have to have the line and the points rendering, and then toggle the quad on.

The caveat is that this is finicky, and not meant as any kind of serious tool, just to be what it is.

This is a type of time blur, powered by the iterator.

There are settings to turn the image monochrome (b/w), as well as to introduce a non time lagged mirror image. It also allows all black content to be replaced with another color.

This is an iterator workout of sorts.
