Hello

I just released a plugin for Quartz Composer with source. It provides  
a bit of a hackish way to move textures from one 'VJ' (god I hate that  
term) app, to another. Basically, its glorified screen capture, but it  
stays on the GPU. You can use it to 'sample' a texture from anything  
on screen.

Its *very* fast because it does no readback. On my system I am able to  
capture full res 1440x900 (my whole screen) at a solid 60fps. Perhaps this is already possible in Processing, or would require a library or addition to it.

I think it could be very useful to the communities to  have a method to move video to and fro from one environment to another and back. (although, its hardly an ideal method).

Ive used it to move Processing output, Jitter output, GEM output to  
Quartz Composer sans issue. Id love to see the other 'new media' environments (PD, Max/MSP/Jitter, Processing, OpenFrameworks) adopt a strategy for sharing resources. Currently, it appears that because of protected memory models and driver setup, its nigh impossible to literally share textures between processes in any efficient manner. This may be the next best thing?

You have my blessings to port it, share on, and Peace. Thanks,
