And that's mostly because there are alread high level modules available like  phasor , cos , etc...

When you have a look at   reakor core  , there are only a handfull of basic modules and from these everything is build  , from phasors to cosines to gorgeous sounding zdf   filters etc..

there are 6 classes :  Math , Bitwise, Flow, memory , Scoped bus and Bundles 

My question is , how come that gen already has these higher level modules , is it becasue these classes already exist in c++ (  which gen automatically translates to  ) ? 

I've been enjoying gen~ a lot

i always embed my patcher snapshots to be extra safe and not build up clutter, but i noticed that max's snapshot folders still has 1000s snapshots in it, so i made a test:

it appears in the snapshot folder (i though: clear, because when i made it, it was still not embedded)

so i deleted it from the folder, and tested if snapshot recall still works, and yes it does.

i changed some params in the patch and "re-snapshot" the snapshot from the menu.

surprisingly even tho the snapshot is embedded it still gets saved again to the snapshot folder.

How to use snapshots without cluttering the snapshot folder?

here ya go:  ⭐✰⋆🌟✪🔯✨

Wasn't expecting this kind of a negative/unhelpful response - but I'm actually getting ~20fps on Mojave on my mbp for both scripts. I thought this might be useful to share with the Max community. Hopefully some people here will find it useful.

If you run Facemesh on the cpu instead of webassembly you'll likely get 5fps, so stick with the WASM option.

Handpose is also around 20 fps. My framerate with facemesh is not as high as yours it's around 5 till 10 fps maximum (wasm)

Amazing - ~40fps with webgl MBP 13" +egpu.

My stats are almost identical to Aartcore's, except my GPU

Hi this is really great, I can't believe it took me this long to try it out. Thanks for sharing. Perfect for just tracking my hand instead of trying to do that with posenet. 
I am seeing similar numbers, with my mbp i7, radeon pro 560. 
hand pose is around 20 fps / facemesh was getting 15fps 

quick question, has anyone tried lowering the resolution for better performance? I just changed the dims in the camera.js file to 320x240 from 600x500 and i think im seeing  better performance. 

Hi. This looks amazing. However, after downloading the dependencies, when Electron opens I just get a blank screen, and it doesn't launch/open my webcam. Is there something I might be doing wrong?

Hi folks - I've now wrapped both of these to two Max For Live Devices which are really fun to use. I'll be adding these to the repos early next week for everyone. I've also added a whole bunch of improvements to the scripting (offscreen rendering so you don't need the window to be visible to get the data, full model controls for handpose, replicated FaceOSC's gestures for Facemesh, so you can use "mouth width" and "eye height" etc) and more which I'll show you when I commit the updates.  :)

I've quick question, has anyone tried lowering the resolution for better performance? I just changed the dims in the camera.js file to 320x240 from 600x500 and i think im seeing  better performance.

yep! that's a great idea. I've actually added params for window size into the next update that you can control from max when you spawn the window - I might default them to 320x240 for better performance for most people

Hi, thanks for your interest in the project! Could be a few things, firstly - check for a .log file inside the folder to see if everything downloaded correctly from npm. If not, it'll be inside the log. Second, could be security on your OS (catalina can sometimes be a pain with this), haven't tried on windows but heard success from windows users.

You can try toggling your video device from the GUI controls also to see if that works. In the menu bar for the electron window there is an option to "Enable Debug Console"  - if you open that up and see an error message post it here or in the issues tab for the repo on github :)

You'll also need to keep your maxpatch inside the same folder with all the other js files and node_modules. saving a patch into a different folder often breaks things with node.

@LYSDEXIC
Thanks for your reply. Hmm, it's strange. I'm certain it has all downloaded - everything opens and looks right in Visual Studio.
Interestingly - I can't see a GUI to toggle the camera with. I also do get an error, but it doesn't look like a fatal one: Electron Security Warning (Insecure Content-Security-Policy). Electron is also managing to connect to Max. 
Security-wise I'm on 10.12, and generally don't have problems granting access to things. Do you think there could be anything else up? Thanks.


Wow. thanks LYSDEXIC. Can't wait to see the updates 

Hi Lysdexic, I am having issues trying to get my webcam running in handpose and with jit.grab. On my mbp w the built in cam this works, and with my external cam.  But I am now running windows10 and only works one at a time. Do you know of a solution?  

Great work, thanks for sharing!
I would like to draw the mesh in Max instead of the electron window.
Is it possible?


Really amazing workflow @LYSDEXIC !  ⚝⚝⚝⚝⚝ 
Thanks so much! And to @DANTE LENTZ  for launching me here :)


Handpose framerate  on Win 10 > from 20 to 28fps 

Notes: on fast hand movements the tracker in Electron looks less efficient then the example run by mediapipe... https://viz.mediapipe.dev/demo/hand_tracking
Is there something wrong I did using your dev?
Tnx a lot!
