Recently I ran across a great article called “Getting Started with Quartz Composer” over at MacDevCenter.com. I had toyed with Quartz Composer briefly, but this article gave a really nice, short tutorial on it. I’m sure there are several of you scratching your head and wondering what the heck Quartz Composer is. First off — it is a Mac thing. Secondly, it is part of the Developer’s tools for Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger”. Thirdly, it is a tool used for creating amazing animations that can be used as screen savers, iTunes visualizers, or clips in iMovie. If you haven’t played with, I highly recommend it. All you need to do is download Apple’s free Developer tools and read through this short article. You’ll be glad you did.
