OpenCL Image Filters
Been having a relatively successful time in regards of researching and creating OpenCL image filters. Thus far I haven’t really compared and contrasted with the results of Core Image versus OpenCL, more on that later … For the meantime here’s … Continue reading

Audio Generative Graphics
I’ve recently been exploring different ways of making sounds from images and images from sound and even feeding the images resulting from sounds into the sounds from images process. I’ve been using Quartz Composer Workflow compositions, often Core Image kernel … Continue reading

Glitchy GLSL Shader
Whilst tinkering and doodling with some code in Quartz Composer, I stumbled upon a glitchy effect that gives a raw and jagged graphic result. The image feed was based upon that derived directly without resizing from the Waveform Image output … Continue reading

Acoustically Generated Mesh Noise – Static and Dynamic
A recent post upon Kineme’s forum regarding a Mesh based 3D compositional scene by dust had prompted me to sort out some DAE files, just to see if the overall logic of the piece was as functional in Snow’s Quartz Composer as it was in Lion’s. This led me to look further into the matter of the Mesh Filter used and subsequently seeing if this could be utilised with success upon dynamically generated meshes…

Collada DAE format and Snow
A recent , very pretty use of Collada DAE files in a post upon Kineme by Dustin O’Connor worked very neatly upon Lion, yet was reported as failing upon Snow by various postees upon that forum.
I duly went about booting into Snow, as running a hack of version of Snow’s QC in Lion didn’t show the problem experienced, as that hack utilised the Lion framework and not Snow’s.
A boot time check was required.
Suffice to say that I found I could then thoroughly reproduce the problem and also came about a workaround [http://kineme.net/composition/dust/grassscene#comment-24052] …..
