Hi,

Has anyone managed to get the newest version of Blender (2.57 I think) to send data over OSC to Pd??

There are a couple of guides and examples around but they seem to be out of date now as Blender has seen quite a lot of changes recently.

I am trying to use the python OSC libraries found here: http://www.ixi-software.net/content/backyard.html

Any with this would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, Jonzza. I am looking for the same. Pure Data sending data to Blender and Blender to PD. It's for Pinokio 3D (digial puppet:

I am a bit lost... I know that I have to use OSC... but I don't know it yet. I will go on searching, if I know something, I'll write here. If you know something... do the same.

Thanks!

This this actually something I want to experiment with as well... a few years back I was able to get the video texture plugin working in Blender Game Engine and I always wanted to try manipulating the plane (and video) in real-time. I still have to install Blender, but once I figure out the right libraries and setup I'll pass it along.

Hi guys,

Using OSC to Blender and vice versa works fine in 2.49b Blender, just not the new version. I'm just sticking to the older version for now, the functionality is still the same.

I used the examples found here: http://www.ixi-audio.net/content/download/blender_osc.tar to get me started, hope this helps!

Hello,

after several attempts over the years to connect PD and Blender via Osc i just tried a different route being inspired by my work with Processing and PD. I tried to simple down the process and work directly with udp sockets, basically getting rid of formating problems between different Osc implementations. After the switch i could easily send arrays with thousands of values from PD to Processing and back.
I had the basic socket commands for python from the tutorials floating around and decided to give it another try.
I'm nowhere near fluid in python, but i got it working on the most basic level. The code is simple and short. The best thing is that it should be usable for a few coming Blender versions, since the socket module shouldnt change much.
What happens is that Blender sends the position vector of the game object to PD, which unpacks/packs it again and sends it back. If everything works you should see the incoming PD data in Blenders console.
The problem of dropping framerate seems to occur when PD doesnt send the messages fast enough. To avoid that i attached a [metro 20], this is fast enough on my machine. The always sensor for the receive script is in pulse mode and the frequency is 5. This is also related to the framerate drop. When i use unlimited frequency i get the drop. You have to find the best values of message frequency from PD and logic ticks to compute incoming messages in Blender.

I used Blender 2.65 (no libraries needed) and PureData extended 0.43.4.

I hope this might be a help to others struggling like i did.

Sending data from Blender to Processing also works, but i need to figure out how to get the data in Processing in the right format.

hi,
at audiogames we used blender 2.6 and pdextended for our 2.0 version of the installation:

http://audiogames.tk/

We used this OSC.py lib for blender:
http://code.autistici.org/svn/planetQ/audiogames/2.1/src/lib/OSC.py

This code in order to receive:
http://code.autistici.org/svn/planetQ/audiogames/2.1/src/lib/readOSCori.py

And this to send (look for send_osclocation function)
http://code.autistici.org/svn/planetQ/audiogames/2.1/src/lib/Player.py

All the code is gpl, so just study it and reuse
happy hacking
