You’ll need the following plugins and macros:
kineme.net/QuartzComposerPatches/StructureTools/0.1
kineme.net/release/AlphaBlendMode/10
kineme.net/release/GLTools/16
hybridvisuals.nl/downloads/vdmx-mouse-macro/

Installation instructions can be found on the respective sites.

As mentioned, I really would love to hear your feedback on the new style of commentary. I feel it’s a lot less boring, but I hope you can still follow everything. Let me know ;-)

First and foremost: The irishman’s guide to Quartz Composer on www.shakinda.com, an excellent source if you’re just starting out.

Of course the mighty Kineme has lots of good stuff on their site, with some video tuts on their Vimeo channel http://vimeo.com/KinemeTutorials

Another great site to look into for tuorials, examples and links into the QC rabbithole is http://cybero.co.uk/QuartzComposer/index.html. Looks very promising indeed!

Jan R. has a great instructional video on how to set up VDMX with TouchOSC. I don’t have a iPhone myself, but this sure looks like a reason to get one: http://www.vimeo.com/2860407

Moongold has been putting up some good stuff on VDMX and the Wii recently, which you can find on his Vimeo channel here: http://vimeo.com/moongold

And just because it’s not video, let’s not forget Aienn’s original VDMX beginners tutorial: http://aienn.com/blog/2007/04/vdmx-tutorial

Also, VJ Wunderkind/Thomase has put up a beginner’s video tutorial for VDMX on his Vimeo channel: http://www.vimeo.com/vjwunderkind, which should be an ongoing series as well.

That should keep you busy for a while. If you have anything to add, please let me know…
