I think that we all love to watch Max demos. If you are an experienced Max user, you can find them to be interesting puzzles (“Where did that easing function come from?”), while beginners can use them as inspiration to see what might be possible with the software. Recently, I ran across the demos - humorously labeled “Doodles” (as in “Max Doodle” or “Jitter Doodle”) - of Plastic Fruit, aka Philippe Hughes.

Philippe has produced over 40 short demo reels using Max, Jitter and a variety of interfaces and techniques. One of the reasons that I like this work is that it will often use lesser-known objects; with 

 getting highlighted. Each time I jump into the Doodle stream, I end up only getting through a few videos before I have to run back to Max to try a technique that I imagined that I saw.

The demos don’t include Max source - and that’s too bad, since there is some pretty interesting techniques in use. However, Phil does provide some nuggets of information (generally putting the primary objects in the titles of the demos), and it turns out to be an inspiring challenge to try to replicate the ideas that he is showing. There is some awesome work here, and it will surely be worth your time to stroll through the

I am long overdue in posting new doodles.

I would like to add that I've shared most of, if not all of the techniques used in these doodles right here in the forum.

Like many other passionate users here , I believe I have posted and replied to over 800 posts.

I'm sure not much searching is needed to find a technique.

If not , feel free to send me a message and I'll try to find the patch . Some of them were literal doodles that

Others have taken me over 2 months. like doodle 15 is a fat patch that has 31 scenes.

It was done for a live show where the crowd took part in producing the music and visuals.
