More iChat Effects

I've got two toddlers who love video chatting with grandma and grandpa. It starts out cute, but quickly deteriorates into the two of them jumping around in front of the different effects and backgrounds.

More iChat Effects has made it worse.

This free download adds 48 new effects to iChat, including outer space, a mildly disturbing cube effect and a pretty cool hologram. More iChat Effects is a Universal Binary and includes an uninstaller, just in case you don't want to chat as the Mona Lisa.

Thanks, Grant!

I am sort of new to the effects and I want to know how one goes about making one of the face cut outs of just any effect besides the video in the background because i can do that. I have quartz composer and i have Seashore which is my photoshop but i can't figure out how to cut it out and export and then form it properly if any one can help just tell me what to do

Is there anyway to delete individual effects? Without deleting or uninstalling the whole package? Thanks.

How long until someone can come up with a "Phantom Zone" iChat effect? It would probably look similar to that Cube effect.

here's my version: http://www.box.net/shared/2mu38ykkks

it's very similar to cube, i used it to get started. i even added a black background filter (Phantom Zone Black) that simulates the void you'd be living in while you spin through the cosmos.

So, "normal" takes whatever the video feed is and puts you in a white turtleneck and puts you in a noninteresting white room?

You should see "Boring" & "Unbearably Dull." Wow.

there is another similar website starting up, with an upload and rating feature. Check it out at www.quartzfx.com

I subscribe to the Beastie Boys blog, when I first saw this post I though, "Hey, Ad Rock is blogging a blog about iChat!"
