This file shows basically what Dusx was saying here.

 @ckeng I linked my file in the words "this file" so you can try my exact setup.

A very simple version of this can be accomplished, by using a live camera input (you may need to play with back vs front lighting).

Then applying a Threshold actor (to create a black and white only version of the video input). Then the Edge actor (this will trace the edge between the white and black) providing the outline.

You can then send this outline/shadow to any outputs and/or mapping you like.

That buttermilk suggestion could saved me a lot of money..... Thanks for the tip! I will try in the future.

Are you NYC-based? I love meeting other Isadora folks and exchanging ideas. Everybody has different specialties too, so there's always something new you can learn from everyone!

Best wishes,

Yes, of course it was a written response to your music - as I listened while waiting at Sydney airport.

or another way, what if the shape with the most number of points
sets the number of points of the other one, with identifiers, 
and we shape the 2nd form (assuming we have too many points but can align some of them), 
to get our result and transposition?
