First, make sure you have 1024’s amazing Bezier Warp QCplugin: http:\/\/1024d.wordpress.com\/<\/a> (get it from their “box” on the left side of the page)<\/p>\n

Second, grab my expanded version of their example patch for use in VDMX: \n\tQuartz Composer - 1024 Bezier Warp - Expanded Example Patch\t(2777 downloads\t)\n<\/a>\n\u00a0 (see below for comp that includes POINT STORAGE)<\/p>\n

This comp will be really useful for those of you with VDMX<\/a> beta 8 access. Although it still is extremely functional for other versions, you just won’t have mouse interaction in the VDMX preview window.<\/p>\n

I did the rote work to make all 16 warp points available and gave them additional offset controls for more fine-tuning within VDMX. Next I just need to figure out how to tackle point storage, since most of the would be reset every time you reload your VDMX preset…unless you’re just using the sliders for offset values. Then again…all of this kind of work will probably be moot when the actual MadMapper app comes out…but I’m really impressed by the ease of mapper…seems like it will certainly come in handy. Here’s some screenshots, and below that is Vidvox’s very helpful video on getting it all up and running<\/p>\n

EDIT: Got point storage working..sort of. It’s a bit clunky, but it definitely works. Requires a whole lot of tedious patching and Kineme’s File tools and Structure tools, but I’ll try and post a working version soon.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Here is the hacky point storage method. Make sure to read the readme..it’s not all self explanatory: \n\tQuartz Composer - 1024 Bezier Warp - Point Storage\t(2748 downloads\t)\n<\/a>\n\u00a0You need kineme’s file tools and structure tools<\/a> installed for it to work! Would love to hear if there’s a more streamlined way to do it!<\/p>\n
