v002 Rutt Etra 2.0 released
Thursday, September 24th, 2009
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.
