Mathematics

The Mathematical Toolbox contains standard mathematical and statistical functions to help you make the best Animation you have ever done!

    Functions and Macros

  • Normalize coordinates: Each of the three input Values are mapped onto a range given by the input's range modifier by the function: outputX = (inputX-0.5)*('range modifier'*2). The range of the input is supposed to be [0,1]. Example: given an input between [0,1] and a modifier of 2, the results are then between [-2,2]

Toolboxes

Small collections of really useful Macros and patches for QuartzComposer.

There are many macros and patches in QuartzComposer already. A lot are still missing and some functionality is repeatedly created whenever a new animation is done.

The idea behind these Toolboxes is to collect all the small macros and patches that are found in nearly all animations and put them into one file which is a

Debugger

This small files should help you in debugging your animations or newly created macros:

Ever wondered if the Animation in QuartzComposer really does what you want it to do? Well, here is the answer:

Debugger-1: Its name is not the best, but it says it all!

If you donwload this file, all you receive is a macro with 14 inputs which simply paint the values they receive on your screen.

BeatB(l)ender

This animation reacts to three ranges of frequencies: band0-3, band5-7 and band9-11.

Its behaviour is also controller by three MIDI controlls on channel 2:

  • control 11: Angle of Twirl Distortion Effect
  • control 12: Amplitude of Plasma Image
  • control 13: Scale of Plasma Image

Ereignisse mit Einladungen erzeugen.

Das Ereignismodul in Drupal kann nun iCal-Einladungen verschicken. Habe ein 'Proof of concept' dieser Funktionalitaet geschrieben und online gestellt.

Wie es funktioniert

  • Wenn man ein neues Ereignis anlegt, so hat man nun eine Liste mit den Benutzern die man durch Selektieren einladen kann. Bisher sind es leider nur die Mitglieder der Seite die man einladen kann. Doch das ist nicht solch ein groszes Problem.

ElectricSheep

Electric Sheep is basically a screensaver which shows psychedelic gaphics. But that is not all!
Starting with the question: Do computers dream of electric sheep? when they have nothing to do, a distributed computing environment was created which computes single frames while the screensaver ist showing finished 'sheeps'. With the help of genetic algorithm, the genes of sheeps are developed further resulting in ever new animations.

Neueste Drupal Version online

Sie laeuft. Habe diesen schoenen Seiten die neueste Drupal Version verpasst. Neuerungen ganz groszer Art sind die unterstuetzung von 'AJAX', was zur Zeit im Web 2.0 Kontext der ganz grosze Renner ist. Renner nicht nur weil alle drauf stehen und jeder mindestens einen Kilo davon haben will, sondern auch, weil die Seiten tatsaechlich schneller werden und man ein recht angenehmes Surfvergnuegen hat.

I-CubeX Midi Sensors

I-CubeX ist ein (recht teures system) um Sensorinformationen in Midi Signale umzuwandeln.

"Create your own interactive installation art, responsive environment or alternate musical controller ! The I-CubeX environment enables you to do just that. It is designed to enable you to use sensors for controlling multimedia content. With the I-CubeX, translate sensor signals with high resolution into MIDI messages. Then, send these MIDI messages to a variety of MIDI devices (eg. synth modules) and/or MIDI-aware software programs that control sound synthesis, graphical animation, video effects, etc.. Voilà !"

iVisualize

plugin zur Darstellung von .qtz Dateien als iTunes Visualisierungs-Effekt

About iVisualize
With Mac OS X Tiger Apple introduced a convenient way to create your own graphical effects: The Quartz Composer. Sadly by default these could only be used as screen saver or run in Quicktime.
With iVisualize it is finally possible to run these in iTunes, have them react to your music, and display a lot of song information.
