For anyone on OS X 10.4 or 10.5 who wants to watch a cool tutorial
movie about Quartz Composer:

On OSX (only), QT has a Quartz Composer codec, you can load QC
projects into a Player object and do amazing graphics in real-time
tapping the power of OpenGL, Core Video and Core Image.
Since a QC (.qtz) project is just an XML file, you could make
Revolution generate an XML file with a .qtz extension, that can then
be loaded back into a Player object. The possibilities with this are
staggering.
QC allows you to script graphics- for example, if you want a 3D
matrix of 8 x 8 x 8 floating cubes with movies on each side, you need
only make one cube and run it through a few replicate patches and a
3D Transformation.
QC is even a little cooler in Leopard.
