This page includes downloads of application,documentation and tutorials for the videoprojectiontool (VPT), and the more basic but very useful cornerpin keystone tool.
The applications were originally made for teaching workshops, but has developed into more general projection tools. They are built using maxmsp+jitter, and are primarily intended for people who don´t have these applications. They work both for mac osx and windows xp…

Free 3ds Max tutorial. The Displace modifier acts as a force field to push and reshape an object’s geometry. You can apply its variable force directly from the modifier gizmo, or from a bitmapped image. See video tutorial here.
“Displace is often used to make terrains or to add finer texture to 3d models with out having to model in extra texture. What I have found is that it can also be used in a very controlled way to manipulate geometries. With the use of procedural texture maps or bitmaps one can can make large scale manipulation to geometry with minimal effort. I tend to use this techniques if I need to quickly iterate design options on a facade. For example on a project I want to step a store front system within a range of 5 feet. This in conjunction with the planner poly technique I was able to test quite a few options with out spending hours snapping planes on a grid. Displace provides a great to change a lot of geometry very quickly.”

Pixelator is an unauthorized on-going video art performance collaboration with the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority, Clear Channel Communications, and its selected artists. In an attempt to broaden the scope of MTA’s video art series, Pixelator takes video pieces currently on display and diffuses them into a pleasant array of 45 blinking, color-changing squares. Since the project is an anonymous collaboration, the resulting video is almost entirely unplanned and unanticipated, with the original artists helping to create new works of art without any knowledge of their participation.
(Translation: Pixelator turns those ugly, blinding video billboard ads into art.)
