Reserve your space on Yahoo Upcoming <a href="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2776974/">http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2776974/</a></p> <p>We are very lucky to have Surya Buchwald (also known as Momo the Monster) teaching a Quartz Composer workshop.</p> <p>Quartz Composer (QC) is a free, powerful easy-to-use visual programming language for the Apple Macintosh. This workshop will take you from starting the program for the first time to building your own Interactive scene controlled with a gamepad. You’ll learn how to teach yourself QC, and meet others with whom you can collaborate and troubleshoot. No programming experience necessary.</p> <p>For more information about QC, see: <a href="http://developer.apple.com/mac/articles/graphicsmedia/quartzcomposerinleopard.html">http://developer.apple.com/mac/articles/graphicsmedia/quartzcomposerinleopard.html</a> To play with an interactive video piece (written by Surya), go to <a href="http://momopro.com/stage/qc/">http://momopro.com/stage/qc/</a> — click and hold your mouse on the video and move it around to control the video.</p> <p>Immediately following the QC workshop, from 3-6pm, we will have a meeting of the NorthWest AudioVisualists, a new group of artists, musicians, animators, and video jockeys, which will include live performances using QC. See <a href="http://nwav.org">http://nwav.org</a> for more information.</p> <p>Required:</p> <p>Macintosh computer running 10.5 (Leopard). Anything from a G4 iBook to a Mac Pro tower will work.</p> <p>Gamepad (Mac-compatible). We recommend the Logitech Dual Action (either Apple Only or USB), which looks like a Playstation controller and can be purchased for $20 (from GameStop, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, Best Buy, etc.). You can use any USB controller or joystick, but this one will be the easiest with which to follow along.</p> <p>XCode - This can be installed from your System DVD that came with your computer - it used to be called ‘Developer Tools’. It will install the components needed to develop software on your machine, including our Quartz Composer program. After installing, do a system update.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://opentechspace.org/2009/05/27/quartz-composer-workshop/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
