Iteration to Structure

realtime's picture

after a brief study how to nest iterators seen @noboko (thanks @gtoledo3 for useful link! http://kineme.net/forum/DevelopingCompositions/SuperCoolQuartzComposerQtzs) i tried to hook them to make structures. few examples attached.

so far i had an interesting adventure in generating various combinations of lines and stuff.. but i'm really stuck at this point. i have a basic question:

does this kind of structuring makes sense? could it go further (lets say something like http://kineme.net/Release/Beta/GLLookVeryCool) ?

is there a way to make offsetting points more controllable by this method, or i should include any other tools, maybe i'm missing something about structure making in general?

any tip would be appreciated!

This is a composition that illustrates the result of smoothing values inside of a QCIterator.

Iannix and QC

I'm trying to make run together Iannix (http://www.iannix.org) with QC through OSC. I have 20 elements in Iannix which sends their ID, X and Y position every 20ms under the same adress: /cursor cursor_id cursor_x cursor_y. The aim is to represent the 20 elements at the same time, queueing the structure and passing to an Iterator I got 1 element which jumps between the positions, I tried also with JS Smooth from here: (http://kineme.net/forum/Discussion/DevelopingCompositions/Smoothingcoord...) but not desired result is obtained. Any idea?

Passing values to iterated objects

Hi !

I'm trying to make a series of random X-scaled planes, and I would like the planes to be joined on their edges.

These planes would be translating on X, all joined.

So I would have to pass width and position from one plane to another, but I can't manage to find how to do with an iterator, as I want the number of planes to be a variable... and the whole comp to be... well... as elegant as possible...

I guess this must be quite simple, but passing values from an iteration to another is out of my competences for the moment...

Does any of you have an idea ?

Thanks in advance !

This is a composition that:

-Constructs a grid of colored objects, with different controls for color generation.

-Monitors mouse x/y and allows an object to push/pop in Z, and/or spin in x/y or z rotation if the mouse hovers over an object.

-Configures a color crossfade on the object as it returns back to the "home" position of the color grid.

-Controls for force and decay of the hit effect.

-Configurable columns and rows that adjust to the rendering destination.

...and that's the gist of it.

I'm sharing this composition to show a way of using an iterator that will make one or more object parameters change after they are triggered.

I used a modified version of this for this video post:
