Hi there,
with a bit help from Christopher Wright I was able to build a 3D model
renderer patch.
It is able to load and render OFF models. (Those can be generated
using various 3D progams like Blender)
( http://shape.cs.princeton.edu/benchmark/documentation/
off_format.html )
You can use MeshLab to convert various formats into OFF.
( http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/ )
Here is the custom patch with a sample .qtz and .off file.
( http://www.students.uni-mainz.de/kwasmich/projects/
mkiiOFFModel.zip )
NOTE:
The path to the .off is absolute so you will need to modify the path
in the Quartz Composition.
Hope this helps a bit.
Maybe I can provide a renderer for Wavefront OBJ files in near future
if someone is interested in.
-Michael

Very cool! I've been wanting something like this for a while.
Is it possible to texture the models? I tried using glsl shader patch,
but so far I am unable to get it to texture the model. This is
probably due to my limited understanding of glsl. Should this be
possible?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, OFF doesn't export texture coordinates or normals
(though normal calculation isn't difficult), so it's not possible to
get good texturing :(
Or maybe it does, and I'm confused. I didn't see it in the spec last
time I looked at it.

Hi Amos,
so far there is no texturing available.
This is due to the file format which only stores geometry.
I'm looking forward to adopt the wavefront obj format. That format
supports textures.

Hi,
For one of my show, I used to work with a Lanbox light controller
(http://www.lanbox.com/
) but with pure data. However I think there's a way to make it work
with QC :
with the Command Line patch (provided in the Developer's sample code),
you can call a perl script (provided with Lanbox tools) wich allow you
to control the lights queue or the differents channels.
The lanbox is pretty cool in ethernet mode, it can be controlled via
wifi, and by several computers.
The command line script is not very user friendly I remember to have
spent a few hours to make it work...
If someone is interested in more accurate Howto, feel free to ask.

Hi list,
I'm working on an audiovisual installation using quartz composer.
I need to control light equipment from the program.
So I'm about to buy a midi to DMX box. To send light triggers to the
DMX interface.
But these boxes are not very common. And many people simply use USB
to DMX interfaces. But they have to be used with a specific program.
So my question is :
Is it possible (easy ?) to create a new plugin for QC to drive one
of these common USB to DMX interfaces ? Has someone already made
one ?
Or am I stuck with midi ?
Thx a lot
JeSs

Hi Jess-
FWIW, I am a lighting designer, and working with a few architectural
designs, I've seen DMX done in very strange ways.
DMX itself is a flavor RS-485, with a very simple output and fast baud
rate. Going to midi to transform to DMX seems like a it's going to
give you problems- the more things in a line that can go wrong.
I'll be happy to explain the specs to you if you wish.
Also, what program are you working with? You may benefit from going a
few different routes than just writing your own thing . . .
Cheers!
