Freenect and Max 6
Hey guys, new to using the kinnect and just wondering why I’m getting this message newobj: jit.freenect.grab: No such object
I thought that the kinnect was supported in max 6 any help would be appreciated

Hi oceanmachine89!
You have to download and install object from Jean-Marc Pelletier’s site: http://jmpelletier.com/freenect/ – jit.freenect.grab is not included in Max standard distribution.

Do you know about the jit.openni external? It is based on the official OpenNI libraries and has more features than jit.freenect.grab.

Of course, if you want to deal with jit.openni you also have to install it and some additional software ;-). Read installation guide carefully.

Did you install OpenNI, NITE and avin2′s kinect driver?
EDIT: whoops, scrap that, that’s for jit.openni, not freenect. For freenect you need: https://github.com/OpenKinect/libfreenect

Hi oceanmachine,
You don’t need to install any libraries or drivers for jit.freenect.grab to work. It’s built against libfreenect as a static library (which is typical for Max objects, overall, I’d say).
So that means that you haven’t put jit.freenect.grab in your search path. As a simple test, put the object in the same folder as your main patch (same level). If it still doesn’t find the object, you probably have a problem with your Max install (or you have the wrong version of the freenect object…).
best,
Zachary

kind of gathering that none of these externals such as frenect or synapse work on windows operated machines

If you’re on Windows, there are objects out there for you (but not freenect-based, I believe). A search on the forum should turn up results.

Zachary

jit.openni most certainly works on windows
