Quartz Composer

After getting a random spark of inspiration to  work with Quartz Composer, I searched through my mac, but it was nowhere to be seen.

I thought it was because I updated to Mountain Lion, but that wasn't the case at all. Apparently when you upgrade to the newest version of Xcode, it doesn't include any of those additional tools.

After about a 10 Minute Google search, I finally came across a post in the Apple forums that gave me an almost Direct Link to Quartz Composer.

After going here, you will have to sign up as an Apple Developer if you aren't already. It's free to be a developer, just sign up.

Quartz Composer is Located in "Graphic Tools for Xcode: Late July 2012"

I'd encourage you to search through the other tools to see if anything strikes your interest, I ended up also downloading the Audio Tools package.

Have fun! I'd love to see what you created!

How long does Mountain Lion take to download?

I've searched for this question for a VERY long time with no results.

So here is the answer, for me it took about 2 Hours.

If you want internet specs and/or computer specs for what I used let me know.

Also, if you haven't started the download.

Mountain Lion is $10 cheaper than Lion was, with over 200 new features.

Including a Siri-Like text to speech system named "Dictation"

It learns and adapts to your voice/accent the more you use it.

UPDATE: I just got it installed which took about 40 Minutes or a little less, minus the reboot time.
