Video Billboard Test
For the city scape I’m working on we have a bunch of logos of the sponsors of the events, and a show reel to incorporate.? The former are going to appear on billboards and on the sides of the rotating buildings.? This image is a first test incorporating video (from Aeon Flux).

Some FreeFrame plugins can be a bit blocky, so the super sampling feature scales up the [...]

Re-wrote the task scheduler to be more extensible.? This has enabled a ?job? to be wrapped in a (sub)classed object [...]
