Quartz Composer

Card Trick.

dust's picture

here is a sneak peak at a developing composition.

so this is an example of interfacing quartz composer with the iphone via udp tcp socket xml strings. so this a screen shot locally but this works remote although its bet to play with a multi-touch table and iphone ipad. right now its just a standard card deck with no rules but there is both flash quartz composer, iphone, and ipad implementations so it is inherently multi-touch, & multi-player with various devices. right here i'm playing by myself.

this is in 3d but its only a top view as its intended for there to be a group multi-touch table and private mobile viewing for face down cards.

any idea on how to do a good shuffle in qc, random ? not random ?

i got some cool fan gestures that will eventually get into the working model.

OSC receiver not working

quartz composer OSC receiver has stopped working. It worked before. With OSCulator everything is fine. I get no error messages from QC. In console i get:

3/16/10 4:16:38 PM Finder[231] *** Patch class "QCOSCReceiver" is not allowed in safe mode 3/16/10 4:16:38 PM Finder[231] *** : Failed instantiating patch with name "QCOSCReceiver" 3/16/10 4:16:38 PM Finder[231] *** Message from : Cannot create node of class "QCOSCReceiver" and identifier "(null)" 3/16/10 4:16:38 PM Finder[231] *** Message from : Cannot create connection from ["outputSignal" @ "OSCReceiver_2"] to ["tap" @ "Patch_1"] 3/16/10 4:16:38 PM Finder[231] *** State restoration failed on

But this is from finder, something about safe mode. I've tryed to set this options to allow OSC receiver. But without success. Also tryed qcOSC from somewhere arround here. Again unsucceess. Changed the communication port to several different. No success. Also tryed to send from within the mac from pure data and no succeess either. I have spent the last day trying to find anyone with this kind of error but no luck. Can't understand why or what.

On debug mode QC is able to receive something but i still get no reaction on screen. it prints this:

3/16/10 5:18:45 AM Quartz Composer[1756] *** Message from : Packet received on port 11000: { }

I've not done much, kineme has something to detect bad installation of packages but apparently they are all fine.I just installed camcamx and manycam. Whome weren't working but suddenly they started working. (fixed something to broke another)

From my understanding of QC i believe that the problem is on the socket read from QC. But i own a mac less than a year, and only started working with QC last month.

Can anyone help? Please! The objective was to syncronize Traktor(running on a windows machine) to Coge(running on this mac).

BTW platform: OSX 10.5.8 QC Version 3.0 (63) Framework Version 2.1 (106.13)

Hello Kineme World

SomeKid's picture

Hello all out there in Kineme World. I am some what new to Quartz but really liking it thus far. Been tooling around it for a couple months. In a masters program for Design and Digital Media and found my way to Quartz. A big apple fan and not that big of programer. Been hanging around Kineme more and more and decided now was the time to sign up.

Working on a project where I am trying to create visuals that respond to live audio. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate some nods in places to explore. I am a pro at making a cubes height or a spheres radius change due to volume peaks.

ATI & OpenCL

Any news on the ATI / OpenCL coverage from Apple. just wondered seeking as how the top of the range iMac are now seem to be ATI by default - pretty brilliant cards too.
