hello, i want to track persons in front of a white wall. therefor i use a webcam. no problem so far.

my question: i want to fill the outlines of the tracked people with a colour / multy particle system so that i can project an (moving) shadow of the people to another wall. has anyone an idea what object / externel is helpful?

to visualize my problem i have uploaded a test.mov and my patch - www.uni-weimar.de/~rptm7020/max - because of my limited max/jitter knowledge i do not know how to read, interpret and use the data of the tracked persons. i have the coordinates of the tracking points (red crosses). i want to fill the black shadow of the persons with particles. therefor i tryed to discripe the plane (black area /shadow) of the tracked persons. with no succsess. can anyone help me? how can i give an particle system an fixed form? (the form of the shadow / people). is there a way in max or do i have to send the data to flash or java???
