In this tutorial, Jack DiLaura walks you through setting up a simple OSC-based connection between TouchDesigner and Unreal Engine, allowing you to control the overhead lights of a highly detailed model of a subway car rendered in Unreal with CHOP signals from TouchDesigner. You’ll learn how to set up basic functionality within Unreal Engine to receive OSC messages, parse their addresses, and route the content to parameters of the objects within your scene.
Working with GitHub and TouchDesigner can be a real adventure – and what I hear most often is why and how. A bit ago I did a little write-up about working with git and Touch, but realize that’s still a bit intimidating for folks.
Something I hear often is the difficulty in doing TouchDesigner blob tracking. “It’s too slow!” or “the tracking isn’t working!” or “I don’t know how to use it!”.
We’ve all been in installations where you need to send textures between apps or process. It may be because of limitations of a process, maybe because we’re using different apps to do different processes.
