Hello,

Due to my unauthorized hijacking of other posters posts i thought i post my own topic! 

After being delighted to see BBtouch getting TUIO, cheers Panda, i started on Quartz Composer, downloading the Leopard TUIO plugin from Kineme.  Cheers for the link Larky.

At the moment i am unable to get much happening between the two apps, well nothing!

Ive tried various configurations ( educated button bashing!! ) and have been unable to get a result ie see somthing move!  Ive tried using Reactivisions TUIO simulator but not much happening there.

What im asking is has any one managed to get a signal to QC from BBtouch yet and if so how!

Im running os x 10.5.4

Cheers Guys and Gals.

Here is a simple QC composition that uses the TUIO Client patch. It emits particles for the first three blobs detected. I’ve tested it with the TUIO Simulator and with the newest svn CO of BBTouch.

This is my first time really messing with QC, so there is probably a better way to do things, but it gets the job done smile

Hope it helps!

OH YEAH!  This works great, so in theory if you add another conditional and PS and you can have more points.  AWSOME love it just what i’ve been trying to get working. THANK YOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!

No problem! Yeah, QC has an iterator patch that can step through the Structure and do something with each cursor, so I tried to use that and create a particle system for each point,.. but instead it only used one particle system and just overwrote the x,y values. I’m sure there is some way to make it work, but I’m not sure what it is.
