Open Source Compositor


There was a search term that brought someone to my blog: “synapse is a node based compositor” that certainly piqued some interest; what with the words synapse and compositor used in the same search phrase. So I did the same search and it brought me to this. Now this is quite cool.

Ok, I was disappointed at first when I saw that there was no OSX option, but the linux option got me thinking … VMWare or something like that.
