Our current focus

In 2012, we started building a new visual programming environment
that doesn’t rely on Apple's Quartz Composer (which Apple no longer supports).
We’ve created Vuo, and people are using it to create amazing shows and installations.
You can download the free Community Edition.

Snow Leopard

Good morning, Kineme.net listeners :)

Today's a pretty exciting day -- the veil and mystery behind Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) finally clears.

To ensure that things stay nice and orderly, I'd like to take a moment to lay out some goals, plans, and procedures.

SIGGRAPH 2009

Depth Bomb - Video Synth with Kineme3D ala Gl Heightfield / Rutt Etra (Composition by gtoledo3)

I wrapped up the basics of something I've been messing around with. Sometimes I wrap it in lighting like I have here, sometimes not. I also like popping the whole thing in GLSL (which can't be done with the GL Heightfield or the Rutt Etra).

I also like to dig in and add stuff like 3D noise, warps, twister, etc...

I'm uploading it in "faceted"/"textured" mode.

To get something more like what people are used to with the Rutt, put the normals on smooth, and/or pop on the wireframe more, or texture. There is lighting on this patch as well, so that's not typical of the Rutt style either.

I uploaded it with the faceted blocky thing as the default, because it looks really unique and I've never seen anything quite like it. Reminds me of Q-Bert and Picasso at the same time.

Apologies in advance if anything is whacked out. .. this was an ultra quick one, and I wouldn't be surprised if I mis-labelled something or another.

For you Terminator freaks, like Dust, take something like this and pop it in a metallic looking GLSL, such as the Environment Map or Glossy Wet.
