My project has bought my Powerbook to her knees, bless, so I'm waiting for my tower to arrive before I do any more work with QC.
I'm doing some work for Computer Arts magazine this month so I pitched a Quartz Composer article outline to the features editor, it'd be a good app for them to cover and it means I'll have to work hard at understanding the app so I can write about it in detail. Will let you know if and when it happens.
At the moment I'm doing a Space Invaders 2005 concept illustration and tutorial for them in Cinema 4D and P'shop, I'll post it up when it's published. It's looking sweet at the rough stage though

You cave to render to a billboard (or whatever) inside the macro, which is nice.
I am not stuck on the perspective thing and also a way to produce random integers?
runs like a dog because I'm doing too much image work per frame and I need to go back to basics to figure out how reduce that. And i thought i was being clever using a macro patch!

Dude... 3.19FPS... you must make some sacrifices now and again...
For me, the hard part is generating the wisps. I've been hammering FraxFlame II in KPT for a few hours now, and I've almost got the total Solaris look down.
My iMac's fan has come on, too (rare)... so when this settles down I'll check out the clouds.

Yes, the film! And thanks for the words. I've been marvelling at how empowering this OS is... just so empowering on the creative level. I don't even know how to express that. Tiger is the upgrade every Mac peep has been waiting for.
