Soulthought

I am currently working with a project that involves the ArtNet Dmx Interface (for which a patch unfortunately only exists for Quartz Composer), meaning I must send information from MaxMSP (the only language I'm not horrible at) to Quartz Composer.

The project consists of creating an image in MaxMSP and then taking individual sampled pixels from that image and sending them to a dmx interface. At first I was sending the whole image to Quartz via Syphon, but apparently sampling after the fact in Quartz (using Image Pixel at least) is incredibly slow (the data has to go back from GPU to main memory).

So my question is, what is the best way to send 32xRGB values to Quartz Composer? I was thinking about OSC, but I thought I'd ask around here to see if anybody had any better ideas.

Otherwise, yes I'd personally just use OSC if I had to do it externally :)

Huh, well that would seem to simplify things a lot. I can't believe that never came up before while researching this project. Has anyone ever gotten this working with the Enttec ODE box?
