QuartzBuilder allows you to easily create applications from your Quartz Composer creations, without having to muck about in Xcode.

Your compositions are encrypted, and plugins and simple resources are automatically bundled with the generated application.

Events and properties are exposed to the composition, allowing unprecedented control over the rendering environment — for example, the window can be made full-screen on launch.

Technical info and download available from kineme.net, as always.

Misconfigured patches can eat up memory at an exponential rate, killing your compositions. Or the problem can lurk more subtly, making the compositions jumpy or just slow. Unlike the built-in profiling tools, Performance Inspector performs a patch-by-patch analysis of the performance of your compositions while they're running, providing you with detailed information on which patches, exactly, are slowing your composition down.

Kineme3D provides support for 3D models in Quartz Composer.

Not only can you render your models, you can also deform them in various ways. Twisting, Gravity, Scaling, Bend Boxes, and Quantization are a few ways these can take place. You can also blend between two models with the same number of vertices, creating smooth motion for keyframed animation.

Art-Net is a protocol for sending DMX data over IP networks. Kineme Art-Net Tools provides two patches for interacting with Art-Net devices:

• ArtDmx Sender --- Broadcasts a structure of DMX values to the specified IP Network, Sub-Net, and Universe.
• ArtDmx Receiver --- Receives broadcast DMX values from the specified Sub-Net and Universe.

This quick video (narrated by Beth) explains the basics:

This patch runs an arbitrary shell command using the user's default shell on the rising edge of Trigger.

Commands are run in separate threads, so they don't need to finish right away.

Commands can overlap; in other words, one can start before a previous command finishes.
