Quartz composer examples: Twitfeed and WiiPaint for VDMX

Just a couple old examples that people used to ask for or could possibly find useful. The first is good ol’ WiiPaint which is a sort of lame way to use a Wiimote with VDMX or quartz composer, but it allows for drawing, erasing and color changes.

I also made a quick patch out of the RSS feed reader patch in Quartz and set it to search for tweets and display them in real time. It is a good choice for overlays at an event where there is a specific #hashtag. It displays each tweet and allows for control of color, and duration of each tweet, as well as accepting text input for a search term. Enjoy! PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO TWITTER API CHANGES IN JUNE 2013 THE RSS FEED NO LONGER WORKS. Sorry 🙁  Quartz Composer – Twitfeed quartz comp (2591 downloads )

    Hi there!
    thanks for sharing, is there a way to display the last 3 feeds and not only the last one?
    thanks

      Yeah that wouldn’t be too difficult. You would have to go into quartz composer and add in some extra structure index member objects and have them grab the other tweets from the incoming rss feed. I think you could also send the text feed through a queue object and grab the different structure index members from that as well.
