Excerpt of article text...
Apple recently released Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and QuickTime 7. This software combination adds some interesting features to the Mac OS of interest to REALbasic developers. In particular, Apple snuck a great new tool into Tiger, called Quartz Composer. Quartz Composer lets you do many different things, but foremost, you can use it to create OpenGL-powered animations. And importantly for REALbasic developers, you can use these animations in REALbasic projects very easily.
In this article, we'll get started with a basic Quartz Composer overview and then we'll look at how to create a basic Quartz Composer project. Finally, we'll use that project in a REALbasic project to do something useful, and dare we say, fun.
Before we get started, make sure that you have Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger with the Developer Tools installed, QuickTime 7, and a copy of REALbasic (4.5 or newer). A video camera would also be beneficial. Any camera will do, so long as it is QuickTime compatible. I did the tests for this project using an iSight and a MiniDV camera.
