Hi guys,
I'm a newbie with quartz composer and I'm having difficulty with writing a sequence that will take information from kinect (through synapse) and output it via syphon to Resolume Arena. I'm trying to projection map onto some performers for a show I'm doing and need to be able to track the bodies and project only onto them.
So far I've managed to get a rudimentary sequence working where I am getting the image from kinect through to resolume successfully but I need to polish it up so it looks professional.
The imagery from the Kinect camera comes in well but there is so much background detail present that it's difficult to properly projection map onto the figure - I find myself having to put really strong threshold effects on the clip in Resolume to just black out the background. I'm sure there must be a way of just tracking the figure and masking out the background but I just can't work out what the sequence would be for this in quartz composer - anyone have any ideas or any sample projects of this?
Thanks - I really appreciate it any tips anyone has on this,
Em
