The v002 Glitch plugins have been updated for 10.6/QC 4.0 compatibility. Apologies for the delay with that one, its been a long time coming. Expect new Glitch fun from bangnoise sooner rather than later!

Here’s a reminder of what can be done with the v002 Glitch plugins and VDMX. The download includes VDMX qcFX, as well as CoGe players and effects modules.

Version 2.0.2 restores support for older Mac models and optionally clips output to actual screen space. A patch for use with CoGe is included too.

1.0.2 of Film Effects and 2.0.2 of Optical Flow brings them to parity with the latest v002 Blurs release in terms of patch and host application compatibility.

2.0.2 update brings important compatibility fixes for some image processing patches within the Quartz Composer environment, as well image fidelity fixes for host applications. Thanks to Jerry Smith for helping isolate.

For example, here is VDMX with 2.0.1:

with 2.0.2 - notice the lack of banding, artifacts and proper brightness:

Version 2.0.1 fixes an embarrassing crash in some situations, removes an unsightly resource leak and increases reliability of the plugin and background helper application. Thanks to Lucy Benson for helping to locate the bugs and make sure they were squashed.

v002 Screen Capture 2.0 is out, which offers a slew of new features, most importantly full functionality within the Quartz Composer editor application. Check out the demo video below for more information. Be sure to watch in HD on Vimeo to get all the details.

v002 Rutt Etra 2.0.1 is out, which gives a non-trivial performance increase over 2.0. Integrated graphics users will see a performance increase, but users with dedicated GPUs should see an even larger increase in performance due to support of optimal floating point formats.

With 2.0.1 I am able to now run twice the resolution at 60 frames per second over 2.0 on my 3 year old Mac Book Pro.

I’ve just updated v002 Optical Flow to 2.0 for 10.6/Quartz Composer 4.0 compatibility. No new features, but it retains backwards compatibility with 10.5, Intel and PPC systems for Quartz Composer 3.0 as well.

Im very pleased to release the second version of the v002 Rutt Etra emulator for Quartz Composer. The new version sports some very nice new features that take advantage of the fact emulation is done using OpenGL, opening up some new aesthetic possibilities. 2.0 introduces new rendering modes (not just scan lines any more), much improved work flow and setup, support for Lighting, GLSL and Render in Image macro patches, bug fixes and performance improvements.

Included with the 2.0 are example Quartz Composer Compositions that demonstrate the gamut of new possibilities and walk users through the basics to advanced per pixel lighting, geometry displacement and texturing using GLSL, as well a VDMX qcFX.

2.0 is compatible with both Quartz Composer 4.0 and Mac OS X 10.6 (64 and 32 bit) as well as Quartz Composer 3.0 on Mac OS X 10.5, Intel and PPC.

I’ve just finished a new release of the v002 Blurs which fix some bugs, bring even more performance and importantly fix compatibility issues behind the scenes for Quartz Composer 4.0 which just shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.

Check out the blurs page to read about the updates and download 2.0. Stay tuned for more Quartz Composer 4.0 / 10.6 compatibility releases as I get to them.
