10.4

Have you grown weary of seeing cwright's incomprehensibly cool transparent editor screenshots?

Are you tired of wishing your QC Editor would get out of your way, instead of getting in your face?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, the KinemeCore Plugin might be just for you.

As Seen At NAB2008! ;)

The KinemeCore Plugin enables several modifications to the Quartz Composer Editor UI, including private patch exposure, snap-to-grid, toolbar removal, fullscreen editors, fullscreen viewers on startup, non-floating patch creators, slim and non-existent scroll bars, transparent windows, and much much more. Everything you need to get started on QC-Development Bliss.

This public release offers numerous performance improvements over the previous betas, as well as some more polished transitions and modifications. It also removes the KinemeCore Framework dependancy, removes the Sparkle dependancy, and has less start-up overhead.

This plugin doesn't affect your compositions in any way. What it does affect is how you make them.

There are still a couple Rough Edges; some of the modifications are pretty invasive, and there's not much more that can be done, unfortunately :( But there's always more room for additional changes, so feel free to fire questions, complaints, and additional features our way, and we'll see what we can do.

We're also in need of a much cooler about-box icon; if you're talented with paintshop, feel free to submit your artwork (512x512 or larger, please). Your artwork could be featured in a future update!

[edit: oops, forgot one link last reference. Sorry about that. Now it's fixed!]

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 internals that would otherwise break it.

This version of GL Tools contains several fixes and enhancements over version 0.2. There are both Leopard and Tiger Versions available.

• Correct context handling
• Better GL State management
• Points can now be textured
• Matrix Patch now shows up

This is an admittedly hasty backport of the latest Leopard GLTools beta. It's for use on Tiger only.

New and improved patches include:

• GL Point
• GL Line
• GL Spline
• GL Triangle
• GL Quad
• GL Context Info
• GL Matrix Mult

This version supports Depth sorting, Overlay blending, and Texture mapping, unlike the previous official release. Matrix Mult allows you to specify an arbitrary Transformation Matrix to the renderer.

This is a repost of smokris' original Kineme Plugin. It's only fitting to have it available here on kineme.net. Check out http://softpixel.com/~smokris/widgets/quartzComposer/kinemePlugins/ for more details.

This plugin is for Tiger only. You almost certainly don't want this plugin, and we almost certainly no longer support it.

Updates in this release:

• Added support for Leopard undocumented API.
• Added native 64-bit support under Leopard.
• Improved support for Tiger undocumented API.
• Fixed build scripts to handle plugin names with spaces.

This plugin causes Quartz Composer to load plugins from ~/Library/Graphics/Plugins/, giving user-level control of Quartz Composer plugins.

[This is a Tiger-Only Plugin -- Leopard handles this automatically now]

A set of 6 patches for rendering OpenGL primitives such as Points, Lines, Triangles, Quads, and Cubic Splines.

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)

Support for texturing in GL Triangle and GL Quad is planned for a future release --- these patches solid colors and gradients for now.
