Mother 0.5 is now on OSX and Windows

Mother has reached a new milestone today (0.5) by expanding to OSX and adding processing update to version 1.0.7. Through discussion with Illias previously I have made a suggestion of trying to keep processing libraries in separate folders from Mother.jar that’s so if processing.org makes an update, Mother update could be simply implemented through overwriting some folders. Im very happy that this feature is now implemented and functioning. Thanks Illias!

To Download Mother version 0.5.0, visit from Google code repository and grab your preferred version (PC/OSX).

About Mother
A library & host by Ilias Bergstrom for the programming environment processing.org, with contributions by Krzysztof Goliński and Alice Lottini. Last update, 06-Oct-2009.

From the colour organs of past centuries, to todays VJing and new media art performances, artists and scientists have shown perpetual interest in the live performance of visual imagery.

The limited aesthetic flexibility permitted by existing tools however has meant that artists striving to differentiate their work have most often been the inventors and creators of the tools they use.

To address this obstacle, we have developed a set of tools, that make use of and extend the popular Processing open-source multimedia programming environment.

Together they will enable artists without the skills of computer programming to significantly influence the content of their visual performance, while also keeping the programming of new graphics algorithms accessible to those seeking greater creative freedom.

Installation

Unzip “Mother 0.5 for Processing 1.0.7 – Windows.zip” or “Mother 0.5 for Processing 1.0.7 – OSX.zip” archive, depending on your platform.

In the folder “Foetus library” you will find Foetus.zip; extract this and put the extracted Foetus folder into the libraries folder of your processing sketches. Reference and examples are included in the Foetus folder.
