following up my thread from the old forum

Ok, so I found out why I got a black screen in Mother and not in processing. It seems that Mother overrides colorMode() if it is set in the sketch. I had called colorMode(RGB, 2) to put the range of color() values to 0.0 - 2.0, but when opened in Mother and it sets it back to default values (0-255) my colors are of too low values to be seen.

Now I am facing another problem. When I run the sketch in Processing it looks smooth, like this:

But when I run it in Mother the rendering gets slow and choppy, like this:




I'm very happy for any input.

cheers!
