Among the many features Unreal is known for, its real-time 3D graphics capabilities are especially notable, capable of generating highly realistic and complex scenes while maintaining real-time performance. It also has a wide array of connectivity options built in, including OSC, DMX, and more, making it easy to connect with a variety of hardware, software and other tools. In this video, Jack DiLaura walks you through building an immersive project with Unreal Engine and the Kinect. As is often the case in real-world scenarios, you’ll integrate additional software into the project by using TouchDesigner to grab control channels from the Kinect and route them to Unreal Engine as OSC messages. In Unreal, you’ll set up Niagara particle systems, a cinematic camera, and blueprints to route the OSC messages to transform the positions of objects within the scene. Chop Execute DAT Code from TouchDesigner Project: nullChop = op( ) posVals = [nullChop[i].eval() for i in range(6)] lPos = posVals[0:3] rPos = posVals[3:6] oscDat = op('oscout1') ('/left', lPos, asBundle=True) ('/right', rPos, asBundle=True) Unreal OSC Blueprint: Available at: On the page linked above, click the button below the “Code to copy” header, which will automatically copy the blueprint in your clipboard. Then in the Unreal Engine blueprint editor, paste with Ctrl+V.
