Tutorial: Creating a Composition

Creating a composition with Quartz Composer is easy. You need only to add patches to a workspace and connect them. What’s more, you can get instant feedback on your composition as you add patches, allowing you to tune your composition as you create it.

This chapter is a tutorial that provides step-by-step instructions for creating a glow filter and applying the filter to a rotating cube. After you create the composition, you’ll see how to use it as a screen saver and turn it into a QuickTime movie.
