Leap Motion with Max, gesture motion drawing

Pond's icon

Hi I'm trying to use Leap Motion in Max. I have Windows and I downloaded this plug-in for Leap Motion http://julesfrancoise.com/leapmotion/. I'm incredibly lost in how to exstract data and how to implement Leap Motion in Max. I have no idea how to even start with this. My goal is to be able to draw/sketch with tracked fingers and to be able to change the color and brush style of the stroke. This is very over welming and I'm stuggling a lot. If I could get help on just starting this and point me in the right direction that would help a lot! Thank you.

i would start by figuring out how to draw with the mouse. lcd, jit.lcd and jit.mgraphics are all good objects to look at.

make sure you go through at least the first 10 or so Max tutorials as well.

Thanks! I figured out how to unpack all the data and put it into what I wanted. Just took a little more poking around.
