Max Visual Programming for Artists and Designers

Design for Interaction is a hot subject, but can be difficult to access. Max is a user-friendly visual programming language, that connects sound, video and OpenGL (3d graphics), network communication, sensors and more.

After a short introduction, you will learn how to modify already-made Max patches (programmes) to play, manipulate and interact with video- learning as you create.


Topics Covered

• Design for Interaction
• Max visual programming
• Sound, video, and OpenGL (3d graphics)
• Max patches (programmes)
• Introduction to sensors
• Making an interactive video using sensors

Course Outcomes

By the end of this course you should be able to:

• Use and connect sensors in Max to make an interactive video
• Understand visual programming and how this can be used in Design for Interaction projects
• Apply Max software to your visual art and design projects
