		<description>Hi D.

it's Quartz Composer.
A lot of the stuff I've been doing lately has been about emulating stuff you can do in VVVV in QC though. I've also been working on converting a lot of VVVV shaders to work in GLSL/QC, so there's a connection.

Cheers,

		<description>Is this VVVV or QC you are creating this stunning(shader/patch) work in?</description>

		<description>alx,

what you are doing is pretty amazing. i for one would suggest keeping at it like you have been doing. i look forward every day to seeing what you have been up to and for the most part, i learn as much by taking it apart and playing with it as i might with a tutorial. you might take a break for a while and write up a little book at some point though. a basic book would open up QC to a bunch of people who aren't using it yet.

		<description>Hi Matt.

I do post code sometimes. Unfortunately, there's a lot of work involved in putting together a proper tutorial, especially for relatively advanced stuff like this (not saying I'm a QC guru or anything, but I've learnt quite a lot over the year or so I've been tinkering with it). I always mean to do some tutorials, but I get distracted, and end up making something new instead...

One thing I do like to do is comment my code, and add explanatory notes to the compositions I release. It's partly for my own benefit, so I know what's what when I come back to the comp. later, but hopefully will prove useful to anyone else who might want to pull things apart to see how they work.

		<description>Absolutely right, vade!
The trick is to recognise the useful mistake...
I quite like 'glitchy' things, anyway.

		<description>Thats what we are talking about. Make it your own! This is a huge area to explore. Many of these algorithms have presumed 'correct' values, but, you are not dealing with just math, but aesthetics, and thus being able to fuck with values above and beyond the normal perceived correct values leads to really really nice things.

Half of the fun is breaking it in unexpected ways.</description>
