Kinect

[Skulpture]

This may help:

The process should be very similar when using the first kinect (kinect 360).

@Skulpture is there the ghost image in the free NI-Mate version? Watermark?

@crystalhorizon - you can get ghost out of NIMate via Syphon, but the watermark pops up every 10 or 15 minutes if you don't have a license.

Hi there,

Try the follow extension for Max 7. I used it in the past for installation work / performances using the Kinect 2. You can try it for free for a limited time, after that the artist will ask 26,00 euro for continue usage. Max is 9.00 EURO a month, but when you are done with building the max patch you can close the sub for Max since you can build the application and off you go :smile:

@Juriaan - that looks like a good option for Windows users
