You don't have to create a new topic since this is all part of the same project. There is a scripting section though. I haven't seen a lot of talk about Kinect on here and I personally don't use it so all I can do is help you with your mel scripts lol. I'm having a lot of trouble visualizing your problem. Do you have any screen shots and mock ups of what you want this thing to look like and function? thank you....... is this sufficiant..... else i will make a small youtube..... or maybe we can do screenshare through Skype and share the findings on the forum......??? //------------------------------------------------------------------------------- global proc RT_Check () { //......... expres. on locator runs every frame this procedure...
