Max Assignment 1

Today we were tasked with creating a patch in Max that manipulated a webcam input in any fashion we found to be cool and interesting.

I created a patch that made the webcam input have a ghosting effect. I believe with a little more knowledge of how Max works, I could create a patch that would allow a user to be able to use their entire body to paint on a display (projector, tv, computer monitor, etc.). I feel an ideal set-up would be a white background so the colors of the clothing the user is wearing stands out and allows for more contrast on the display.

I tried other effects such as jit.tiffany and jit.wake but they made it difficult to see the ghosting effect which is what I wanted to be in the spotlight.
