Hi Ian I've used NodeBox a few times for other things - there's a lot I like about it, but its Core Image library seems a bit limited for my purposes here. It seems like there are only certain filters that can be used. It might be possible to enter the GLSL code for a custom one, but if so the feature is undocumented as far as I can tell. Also NodeBox is generally quite slow as it doesn't use OpenGL to draw sprites, so I'm not sure how it would compare to QC in speed terms.
