Thanks for clearing that up Chris, I've been using a modified bit of code as an "image mixer" on a few compositions I've been working on, so I'm kind of getting to grips with it in some sense....

As for specific problems, the one I've strugaling a bit with at the moment is the "Sine-wave" which I posted a few days ago....

I've kind of got the effect I want, with a careful bit of pruning (take out some of the original functions, and less iterators) so its running 25-fps... which is'nt great but a vast improvemt on what it was...

I would just like to get a more efficient solution re your "You could try generating the segments in javascript, and then driving a GL Line Structure patch from our GLTools plugin -- that'll remove the need for massive numbers of iterators." you posted.... But I wouldn't haver a clue where to start in terms of code... (or how to wire things up)

Thanks again MArk

hi, as a complete novice can anyone give me some advise on learning Java / programing for use within Quartz?

QC uses Javascript (not Java -- completely different technology. Searching for Java tutorials won't help you at all in QC :)

There are lots of example apps that use it that can help fill in some details. Otherwise, it's mostly stock JS (sometimes called EMCAScript), so googling for tutorials can help with the basics.

If you have a specific problem you'd like to solve, feel free to post it on the list -- that tends to generate lots of input on how to go about solving it. I find it's much easier to learn with sample code and someone willing to talk about it :)
