The demo still makes my jaw drop today :) :p http://createdigitalmotion.com/2007/08/01/emotion-quartz-powered-particle-based-madness/ Took me a few hours trying to remember what I was originally looking for to find the site I accidentally found back then and then it took a few hours sifting through the blog for the right post but there it is in all its glory.

The described effects remind me of it a bit. But then, Keynote is an Apple product, so it might not be what you're refereing to. Could you find and post the link to the mentioned clip? I'm curious. While I do not really target a specific application with this, rather an improvement to cairo itself, it could very well be used for some of the mentioned effects.

I cant remember the name of the project but it was really interesting. They basically made each character an object on a 2d plane which reacted to the physics of said plain. They had a cool youtube video with all of the different effects like using a fisheye type of effect on a document and having effects for when you actually typed the characters and other effects like having all the characters on a page explode and then implode back into place. Would be cool to see you take this in a similar direction. Once again, you have started work on an interesting project. I look forward to seeing how it progresses.

There are just two control-points in a "LINE_TO"-section, thus there isn't much the transformation twirl can do about it. There are rendering bugs (missing, non-implemented features) nevertheless. But what you mentioned there is not one of them. If you are refering to the capital letter “E” there, that’s not a rendering bug.

Is this a real effort to finally make cairo gpu accelerated (by default)? I would help if this aims to be more than a couple of oggs ;-) Sweet! But what’s the point? Is it just for fun?
