Quartz Compositions

Nick

Do you mean the screen saver? If so, I have no idea. It is possible to point the Quartz Composer "RSS Downloader" patch to a local file using the URL field if you're editing/creating your own Quartz Composition.

I meant the screen saver, I will try to direct the RSS downloader to a local file. Thanks.

Nick, I tried with the RSS crawler from apple, and I came up with something like this,

Pretty cool. Thanks.

Nick

Nice one! (sorry for the slow reply)

So - who is using these? Anyone making their own? Anyone interested, but unsure where to start? In the latest MixEmergency disk images (1.2.1 - and in 1.2) there were a bunch of new examples that show off some of the newer QC features in case anyone missed them. Yes I'm interested in making my own, but have no clue where to start.... I dont have a clue on what your talking about when it comes to disk images 1.2.1 and 1.2. where are the examples? Also Im more that willing to pay someone to make me custom one or just buy good ones they have off of them.

Nick

They're on the file that you downloaded when you installed MixEmergency (the Disk Image "MixEmergency1.7.2.dmg"). If you open the Disk Image, and go into the folder named "Example Quartz Compositions" then you will find a bunch of compositions.

thank you :) and i was kinda skeptical on jumping over to ME, but with the 3 i have been playing with it at home today im sold on how much better it is than VSL. Thanks guys...

Hi Nick, Been learning qtz last few days. And come up with my own twitter feed using xml. but i am having a issue and wondering if you know how i could fix it. When i pull twitter hash feeds thru xml importer it has feeds with heaps of other information in it. is there anyway to filter out some some of this information so i can use a counter to count how many hash tags have been sent. Any help would be appreciated.

Nick

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do, but you can probably filter it using the Javascript patch. Do you have an example of the data, and how you want your results?

codee

I really hope you wanna share that qtz xplicit :)

Hey, Its hard to explain exactly. Have to show you rather than explain.I kinda need either two things 1. Have some sort of java script to output how many hash tags there are from http://search.twitter.com/search.rss?q=%23vjxplicit so i can tell the qtz which posts to scroll thru. or 2. a way to filter the information within the structure to only output the 'item:x' information. So that it will only scroll thru posts and not any of the other information within that specific structure. I do have a friend working on the first option as I am not anywhere good at java script. Or even know where to start. I can email you sample of what i have done so far so you can see what I am meaning if this is easier, just need to provide me with an email account. @code:E I probably will share this qtz once I have programmed it so it is easy to change the settings as I have alot of personal VJ XPLICIT information in there.

Nick

Oh, okay - I think I get you. I would guess that it's going to be easiest to just filter the XML that is returned. Maybe you can send me (to: contact [at] inklen [dot] com) what you have so far, and I can see exactly what you're trying to achieve.

VJXplicit

emailed the qtz file for you too look at.

Nick

Cool - I've just modified it and sent it back.

VJXplicit

So completed what I want up to a reasonable standard that will work for me. Can view a demo here

Tell me what you think. Sorry for stealing you post Nick

Nick

Nice one!

codee

Looks good to me..... I might have made it display differently but that looks good. What else are yo waiting on before you release it? I would like to take what you made and start modifying it as a learning tool for myself.

VJXplicit

as long awaited by many http://www.mediafire.com/?cxj8y3u97a0bc8m took some of my stuff out of it so its just plain. do with it as you wish. keep me updated on FB or twitter if you change it heaps.

Nick

Looks good - thanks for sharing it.

Does anybody know if its possible to get the quartz files that are default in itunes out and use them with ME. I really want these two. Also dose anybody know where to buy ones like these? I think i have found ever single free one on the internet, and none of them seem to have the finnish, and high quality of the few that come with itunes from default. By high quality i dont mean HD or anything, just the finnish and how clean the images look. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150494642842554&set=a.10150494642492554.365663.651982553&type=3 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150494642767554&set=a.10150494642492554.365663.651982553&type=3
