Make a bunch of Quads with an interesting texture. Launch it and select MAD_Doubler in the media list (under the Syphon section): Now everythin is ready to be piped into MadMapper.

Select your Kinect output on the left side, and the graphic patterns on the other side. Here comes MAD_Doubler, which will just do this. You’ll want to actually combine the output of both applications into one unique Syphon texture for use with MadMapper. Here I’ve used MAD_GraphicPatterns from the MAD_Lab, but I could have launched Modul8 for instance, or any other Syphon-enabled application. Voila ! You’ve selected an interesting part, now launch another app to provide the texture you want under your mask. Then, play with the min/max parameters, to actually select which depth of the image you want to extract… This wil turn the updating off, allowing your guinea-pig friend to take a break from standing in front of the camera, and also help you fiddle the settings.

So first, launch MAD_KinectMasker application. To plug a Kinect to your Mac and do so realtime masking… ! In this tutorial, will use the newly released MAD_Lab applications We offer the original QC patch for free to anyone, get it from

EDIT: this tutorial is now depreciated, as MadMapper supports QuartzComposer files natively.
