Made with Max: Interactive Facade Projection

After browsing through the different projects that have been Made with Max, I found the Facade Projection to be the most interesting to me, perhaps due to my theatrical background. Interactive building layers were projected onto the KOP building in Breda, which is located in The Netherlands. A video tracking system was used in order to create the building's virtual layers. People were able to "activate elements in the building," such as growing ivy or playing with a cat.

According to the project, this whole piece was created in Max and used numerous OpenGL layers. It ran off of an 8-core Mac Pro.
