I have been using some simple interface stuff to control compositions.

I found a neat way to do it was with some modular pieces. This gives you control over their size and position easily. Also, using the spooky patches you can keep the interface all in one patch and use the spooky to send any signal anywhere in the comp.

I made two sliders - horizontal and vertical.

I also made two buttons- a toggle and a bang.

You will need the Spooky Plugins as well as the 1024_Selector Plugin. Running this on Quartz Composer 4.6, 32-bit mode, on Mac OSX 10.10

ASHI: Any Surface Hand Interface

I have been messing around with using a Kinect, and a Projector (Quartz/Tryplex/Synapse) to make any wall or surface interactive.

Here is what I have come up with so far. I was able to get the kinect world coordinates into -1 to 1 space, which you would then use in a render to image that was being mapped to any surface.

At this point it can recognize two hands, and swiping gestures.

How to get old QC style back?

How do I get the old style of Quartz Composer back? You know, like this: http://ecell3d.iab.keio.ac.jp/pict/quartzComposer.png instead of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:QuartzComposerSnowLeopard.png

It would be especially nice if I could have the patches and the composition all in one window like in the first screenshot.
