Quartz Composer

A recent post spurred on by a feature request of mine, that was motivated by a recent tutorial/tip article I wrote, made me realize that it may not be altogether too spammy to give a head's up that I've been writing tutorials, tips, and posting examples at my website www.georgetoledo.com for quite awhile, in addition to my postings here. There are probably a few useful nuggets in there for someone.

How does one setup the appropriate javascript to smooth a structure with indices that have an x/y/z/w substructure (the type of structure that would feed a GLTools Structure Renderer, or an OpenCL vertices input, etc.)?

I know it's possible to smooth a structure with a value for each index (the music visualizer does that), but I can't figure out how to smooth with javascript in this type of scenario. It's easy to smooth the values by using an iterator and queue, and publishing the results, but I want to see if avoiding that gains fps.

If this could be done with OpenCL and get higher fps, it would be really interesting, but I'm dubious. Also, I'm not sure if this is something that a dedicated plugin should do (?).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'll post the subsequent result.

This is something I put together that uses the Kineme3D, with facial expression triggered by sound created by feeding a string generated by an rss feed to a speech synthesis patch, as well as "tweet" number.

Hi There

I am a graphic artist and therefore know very little about programming. I am trying to produce a video jukebox based on the iPhone photo app but cannot find a patch to enable the "swipe/flick' transition between videos. Do any of you guys have an idea of where to find something like this.

Cheers

This is a multitouch demo application that requires OS X 10.6.

I'm basically curious if anyone gets any kind of crashing, or if fps is abysmal on some kind of model computer that I don't have access to; that kind of thing.
