Particle tinkering

Some particle plugin for Quartz Composer that i’m developing.
Lots of particles, good framerate.
The plugin is using Vertex Arrays.

Here’s a snapshot

Euphorie #4

Hiya,
back here after a long pause of blog-inactivity.
We’ve been working heavily on Euphorie the past couple months.
Here’s a photo of the model setup:

Euphorie #3

We are developping a light-based musical instrument, the neon-guitar.
The first prototype is just freshly finished, so here’s a video.

The light part is controlled via a QC patch, while the audio is currently driven by AULab.
The smoke is a bonus.

Tetra.Tennis video released

Here’s a vid. from the 2008 session shows.
This year’s vid. is still in the making …

visit the vimeo page for some more official blabla

Euphorie #2

Some samples tests at developing a glitch-morpher for “Euphorie”.
Hopefully I had an haircut since i took the snapshot.
Anyway ….

Tetra.Tennis 0.30

I’ve been working today on the new Tetra.Tennis UI.
Currently using BGHudAppKit.framework – as pointed by Vade, thanks mate !-,
for a uber-friendly HUDstyle interface.
The software is still in dev. , but allows so far to control video and strobes,
all via manual controls or MIDI sync.
The strobes will finally also be controlled by Fred Viktor’s drum kit, live of course.

Tennis goes Strobbing

As stated earlier, we’re currently developing a cute little software to drive the Tennis Masters stroboscopes array.
We’re currently controlling everything through Midi, which is then translated into DMX signal internally.

Here’s a snapshot of the software in progress.

BNP Paribas Tennis Masters

The Paris Tennis Masters will last from 8 to 15 november, in Bercy.
This year 1024 will once more project on the tennis ground.
We hope to see you there, you tennis freaks !
Meanwhile, here’s a photo of the ground going 3D…

Once more, the audio part will be run by superhero MS Fred Viktor.
Oh, and i almost forgot to say that this time we’ll be using an array of 28 Atomic Stroboscopes.
You better bring you shades.

Mapping Festival 2009

Here’s is a littler picture showing our past performance at the Mapping Festival 2009 in Geneva, Swiss.
This is actually the end of the perf. , when the building literally explodes.
Sorry no video at the moment.
The whole show was live warped on the facade of the Usine, using
our latest mapping software, developped in-house.
The video spans on 3 beamer, each 12k.

boomBox #2

The GodsKitchen team is moving today to Australia, for the Aussie BoomBox Tour.
So here’s a photo showing the box in action, plus the moving light set-up.
The DJ in the middle should be Armin van Buuren.
