Sucess!

its a bit past midnight and i'm too honorable to mess w the posting time. but i've got a working patch that's not god-awfully ugly and does something vaguely interesting pretty.

i'm not sure bloggers going to let me post a .dmg file, so here's the Max patch as text.

Oh, and i started from scratch rather than trying to clean up the other patch. so this one's got segmented cords and is a lot neater. i still have to work on the jit.op matrix math stuff though; i kind of get it, but not really.

here's the patch:

#P comment 604 422 100 196617 This patch takes two video feeds and mixes them in two ways \; on the x axis of the 4-way slider \, it mixes them together \, and on the y axis it mixes them with a tiffany-ed version of channel 2.;
