also to my dismay, many of the controller nodes like delay, memory, differential are gone now? I guess you can emulate them with javascript and plugging the output into the input of the javascript node but I'm wary of a performance hit with running millions of different javascript nodes. Maybe I'm missing something, I would like to store past values with a delay is there any way with the current patches that are in QC?




No, it's not do-able in the current Quartz Composer. First release was mostly targeted as deterministic contents creation (because of QT compatibility), so patches that make rendering a frame depends on the previous one are mostly not there.






ouch, reading between the lines does that mean that we won't be getting these kind of features because they can't be handled by the Quicktime player framework?


also, just curious and I realise you might not be able to answer this, will future Quartz Composer releases be only limited to os releases (ie a future version will come bundled with 10.4.x ) or will it be updated separately to the OS? i've just realised that tiger included an API freeze which means I'm now horribly scared that you can't update the QC api in a way that would break applications that use it, does this mean what we've got is it?

thanks for the prompt response

roger
