PB Mesh Warping Patch

Project timespan: March 2008 to April 2008

This patch warps an image (or movie) in an arbitrary way as specified by a user generated mesh stored as a text file. It was commissioned by Paul Bourke for the projection of images into immersive spaces using a projector and a spherical mirror. Paul's writeup about the patch and its applications is the most thorough and detailed. It is available for download from kineme.net.

QuartzCrystal Composition Renderer

Project timespan: March 2008 to present

QuartzCrystal, a new Mac OS X tool for rendering Quartz Compositions to movie files, has just been released on our daughter site kineme.net and features support for all QC plugins and patches as well as spatial supersampling (antialiasing). QuartzCrystal is a Mac OS X application for rendering Quartz Compositions to QuickTime Movies. It supports 3rd Party plugins (Both Official and Unofficial API), as well as unsafe patches. It also supports up to 8x Spatial Supersampling (Antialiasing). This is not the same thing as OpenGL's "Full-Scene Anti-Aliasing" (FSAA) --- it's better. When you enable Spatial Supersampling, QuartzCrystal renders your composition at the specified multiple of your target size, and then applies a high-quality scaling filter to reduce the rendered image to the intended size. All parts of your composition get the same supersampling treatment --- not just lines and poly edges (or whatever your video card supports) as is the case with OpenGL FSAA.Read more

Al Gore uses application developed by Kosada

Posted on Jan 17, 2012

Former Vice President Al Gore, former Governor Jennifer Granholm, and “The Young Turks” host Cenk Uygur used the UltimateLogger application, which was developed by Kosada, to prepare commentary for a recent GOP presidential debate.

Gore, Granholm, and Uygur used UltimateLogger while watching the debate to bookmark clips they wanted to talk about in Current TV's post-debate analysis. Through a custom user interface designed specifically for the debate, they logged the time and some details about each clip at the touch of a button.

Commissioned and designed by Christopher Keath, UltimateLogger was originally created for use by sportscasters. But its support for customized user interfaces made it the perfect candidate for the GOP debate.

"Everyone was impressed," said Keath.

CCK Select Other

Project timespan: April 2010 to May 2010

CCK Select Other provides a select list widget for CCK text and numeric fields with an "other" option. When a user selects "other" a text input field is exposed via Javascript, which allows the user to provide their own input for the field.
The module also hooks into Drupal's testing framework, SimpleTest, to provide functional tests on saving data.

Node Evaluation

Project timespan: May 2010

This module provides a method to evaluate nodes based on criteria such as node or user profile fields (date, text, or numeric). Administrators may attach rules (or evaluations) to node types and assign a point value to each rule. When a node is evaluated, either via cron or a local task, a point value is returned. In the menu-based evaluation permitted users can see what rules passed.
Kosada plans on continuing development of this module to integrate it with common Drupal contributed module APIs.

Canned Comments

Project timespan: February 2010 to May 2010

Canned Comments is a module developed to let administrators provide canned texts for permitted users to reply to comments with. The canned text not only has token support, but a new type of dynamic replaceable token, which provides a fill-in-the-blank text field when posting canned comments. This allows permitted users to post canned, but uniquely crafted comments on nodes.
