DNYellowtail Source Code
As promised, though a bit later than I was expecting, is the plugin I used to perform Yellowtail from within Quartz composer. I’m not sure that the way I’m doing rendering is the “right” way, but it certainly works for what I did. It would be nice to figure out how to do antialiasing….
Requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and the Developer Tools installed, which include Quartz Composer.
Binary plugin (40 KB)
Source code & test composition (608 KB)
To run: either “build and run” in Xcode to install or copy the binary to ~/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins.
Open Image output test.qtz to test the installation and to play with it.
Hi.
This is very nice, thanks for the port.
I fixed the mouse coordinate issue by the way,
update(port, (self.inputX+1)*self.imageBounds.size.width*0.5, (self.inputY+1)*self.imageBounds.size.height*0.5, self.inputPressure);
on line 42 in DNYellowtailRender.m
Ill see what can be done about antialiasing. Could always do supersampling perhaps? Anyway, its very nice!

Oops, I guess its not 100% correct, but it seems a touch closer. But importantly, thanks!

I am trying to get this to work and it seems that the test wont load up or anything I installed it in the plugins and even tried the patches folder.
this is what I get when I run the test
-[QCCompositionRepository doesPatch:conformToProtocol:]: Argument “patch” cannot be null

@JamisonHiner The install location should be “~/Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins” instead of “~/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins”
Does that help?
