Max Assignment 5: Lozano-Hemmer’s Shadow Boxes + cv.jit.centroids Documentation

For the Lozano-Hemmer’s Shadow Boxes patch, I played around with the values to create different effects for the visual output. I combined a cv.jit.centroids patch with it to add sound effect to the overall patch. The following is the documentation for the combined patch. Enjoy! 😀

The cv.jit.centroids patch can be found here:

Max Assignment 4: Face Tracker Video Documentation (With Video Velocity)

For the face tracking patch, I learnt how to map the face of Will Smith on top of my face for visual output. I added the video velocity effect with cv.jit.HSflow to see how it will work out with the face tracking patch. It managed to create some beautiful  and interactive effects. The following is the documentation for the combined patch. Enjoy! 😀

The patch for the effect can be found here:

Max Assignment 3: Photo Booth Documentation

For the photo booth tutorial, I learned how to generate sounds of command to position my face for the webcam to take a screenshot. It was a complicated patch, and I had a hard time getting it to work. After getting the patch to work, I substituted the sounds with other sounds to create funny effects. I had fun making the patch and get it to work. The following is my documentations of my patch. Enjoy! 😀

Chapter 1: The first encounter.

15The waiting room is a massive space that stretches endless in all four directions. The floor and ceiling are covered with white tiles much like the milk bar which you can buy from a high end grocery shop. It is clean or perhaps a little bit too clean. There is nothing in the room expect for the two white storm trooper patterned armchairs that Fel and Aurora are sitting on. Both of them are quiet while occasionally stealing glances at each other. The classic Christmas song: Loney Night by Mere Haggard is being played at the background.

The two of them had being there for at least a day. Nobody came to see them or to give them any food or drink. They do not feel hungry or thirsty anyway probably because they are currently not in the human dimension. With nothing to entertain themselves, the wait seems forever.

16Just then, they hear a prominent sound of wings flapping approaching them. A stocky build angel in white armor lands right in front of them. He smiles and takes out a harmonica. He starts to play pleasant tune which neither Fel nor Aurora recognizes. Their eye lids start to feel heavy and soon they fall to the floor soundly asleep.

17When they regain their consciousness, they find themselves each laying in a white king size covered with blanket. This time, the patterns for the bed sheets are R2D2. Both of them sit up from their bed wondering what just happened. Right in front of their eyes, is a young boy who sits in a wooden horse sucking on a white lollipop. He takes out his lollipop and says: “I’m bored. Share with me your stories.”

How will you respond?

“God must have a weird sense of values, and if there’s a Judgment Day, as some folks think, He’s going to have a lot to answer for.”

Our perception of religion seemingly initiated around the time of the Upper Paleolithic Revolution which was about 50 000 years ago. It refers to a particular set of thinking and system concerning the principals of the universe which is acknowledged upon by people. Together alongside other cultural elements such as language, technology and aesthetics, it matured and developed throughout the course of time. Over the space of countless generations, it advanced to be a critical part in the progress and refinement of the human history.

Earth, the third planet from the Sun in the Solar System, the only astronomical object know to possess life. It was formed about 4.54 billion years ago. Within the first few billion years, life appeared and evolved over time based on the influence of physical properties and geological history of Earth. The earliest life form was estimated to be existed around 3.5 million years ago. Since then, the Earth’s biodiversity increased constantly. It is estimated that there are about 10-14 million existing species currently living on Earth. About 1.2 million of them have been studied and documented and over 86% have not yet being studied in depth.

Humans, one of the many species that is part of the immerse biodiversity. Over 7.3 billion of them live on Earth and depend on it for survival. Its population is divided among over 200 countries which are interlinked through various communication means.

A specie that is superior over all the other species on Earth.

The first sighting was recorded in Vatican City. Millions of glowing beings with giant feathery wings descended from the sky and hover over the sky. The ground shook and millions of pale skeletal beings clothed in long, dark, black hooded cloak crawled out. Each with a soul thirsting scythe in their skeletal hands.

Soon, more sighting were recorded over the world.

A vigorous beam of light pierced through the sky of Vatican City and turned the night into day.

It was judgement day.

500 years later…

8.1

Since the day of the judgement, the entire human race went through a sweeping revolution in the society in terms of its structure.

God becomes the absolute leader in the world power hierarchy. He lives in the heaven which is a massive building that appeared during judgement day. It seems to stretch endless across the sky. He rules over the leaders from around the world, giving them orders through messages send by angels.

The military and home land security forces such as the police are disarmed. Angels and reapers now take over the duty of carrying out law and order. Angels in the day and reapers in the night. Anyone found breaking the law will be sent to the Parallel, an agency created by God during the judgement day. It exists in a hidden dimension in the human world. Once found guilty by the judge, an angel, the offender will be locked up in the prison of Parallel. The jail term is tied with the severity of the offender’s crime. During the time in the Parallel prison, the offender will be going through a series of redevelopment programs to have his sinful soul cleansed before he returns to the society.

However, if an offender’s crime is deemed to be too sever, he will be sent to hell, a monstrous underground construction that emerged during the judgement day, by the reapers to be locked up forever. There is no death, only internal suffering in hell. There is no way out once you are in.

Our faith have turn physical and materialized right in front of our very own eyes. It is now something that we can actually feel and grasp.

Things look promising in the beginning, sinners punished, get cleansed, and returned to the society. The unforgivable ones are sent for internal suffering in hell. However, the rich soon master the art of buying their way out of trouble as the angels and reapers become increasing drawn towards the temptations in the human world. Tainted by corruption, injustice soon overshadows the once peaceful and prosperous world bringing fear and panic among the innocent folks. Money and power soon become the undisputed tool to unrestricted freedom and possibly internal life on earth. Chaos soon arises with the rich walk scoot-free from their crimes and the poor helpless against the accusations that are wrongful put onto them. The world is once again plunged into darkness. Just that this time there is no one to turn to for help. No heroes, no miracles and not even the slightest of hope left.

This is the Age of the Judgement.

You are an offender waiting for your turn to have your hearing at the Parallel. You have committed an offense that might possibly land you into prison or even into hell. Write down your name, appearance descriptions, attribute points, your background story and most importantly the offense you committed.
