Problems in visualizing the skeleton in Synapse

Lucslike's picture

Hi all, I can't visualize the skeleton in Synapse, so that when I open QC with the dedicated patch (qcOSC), I don't receive any skeleton data.

The strange thing is that the skeleton appeared the first time I opened Synapse, but then maybe something went wrong and I didn't get it any more.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Synapse OSCeleton particle handoff kinect

I simply took one of the compositions that came with the Synapse OSCeleton downloads, put in vade's particle warfare and added that to the gestures that casey and jamey made...

When you touch your hands together, the active particle hand changes so it appears as if you can move the particle from one hand to the other. I'm sure there is a better way to do this than my clunky math, and really the ideal would be if the particle system behaved sort of like a separate object that could be tossed around... but I digress.

What I was trying to do and got stuck is: make the inactive hand control the colors of the particles. I wanted to have it change color as the off hand moves up and down the torso. For example off-hand at stomache would make particles yellow, off-hand at neck=blue, etc. But I couldn't figure out the first step of identifying the off hand.

Any help is appreciated, regardless, hope some of you can enjoy this as is...

Obviously this requires the kinect and synapse. Here's the one that Sebastian wrapped up with OSCeleton and Tryplex which has it all: http://code.google.com/p/tryplex/wiki/Installation

kinect synapse quartz osculator live

some gladly pointed the synapse app in a thread here so I'm returning the favor with a synapse patch...

i couldn't get the cool synapse max 4 live mappers to work i think my ableton is a bit outdated so i used synapse for quartz composer and osculator to send data to live. right now its just a left and right hand kaosilator type of patch. the backing track made on the iPad.

this is just a short video test. maybe someone can make sense of this patch its a bit messy that is why this is in developing comps and no the repo.....

basically its a qc patch sending out hits to osculator for x and y of left and right hand. I'm sending y data for midi cc control. also i am using z depth to trigger the notes.

I'm thinking about doing something like this for xyz for both hands that should give me 6 instruments i can control with two hands. right now its just bass and lead..

the track i made on my iPad with garage band ? freakin sweet I'm telling you. the smart instruments let you fly. literally the backing track was made in 5 mins.
