A Quartz Composition demonstrating interactive 'painting' using Kineme Particle Tools. See discussion at kineme.net/FeatureRequests/ParticlePenMacroQTZ

A little test with VDMX and Quartz Composer. Thnx to kineme.net and toneburst machinesdontcare.wordpress.com/
for sharing their work.
And thnx to Autechre for the great music.

This is an example of what can be achieved with the Kineme Particle tools, within Quartz Composer. I examined the archimedes-out composition, and changed a number of variables, and added interpolation to various parameters to allow the particles to curve as they explode in and out, since the default "space bar" effect can't work while rendering to video. I then rendered the video in a test version of Quartz Crystal with 32x motion blur, and 1.5x anti aliasing.

Quartz Composition using Kineme Audio Tools. A javascript patch calculates the ball's position, which is rendered using the built-in sphere patch. When collisions happen, the Kineme Audio File Player is triggered, and two different sounds are played. Kineme Audio File Player is also used to play a looping background track.

Quartz Composition using Kineme Particle Tools and the new Explosion force. Time freezes occasionally whilst the camera rotates around the universe.

Rendered using a beta of QuartzCrystal which includes a new temporal supersampling (motion blur) feature.

This is a video showing off QuartzCrystal 1.1's new Temporal SuperSampling feature. Most of the cubes are moving too fast to look coherent with a non-supersampled renderer, but we get rapid motion with supersampling.

1.1 should be released sometime early next week.
