How to stream point data (with attributes) from an external server to POPs.

I am generating dynamic particle systems using AI on a python server and want to render them within TD. I can get the data into a DAT via OSC, but the next step is not clear to me. Help appreciated since I cannot fond any examples.

Hi @idiocentric,

welcome to the community.
The OSC In DAT comes with a callback with one argument being the message. You can parse that and perhaps fill out a Table DAT with appropriate columns to track particle ids etc.

Check the OP Snippets for the Table DAT (“run script” example) to see how python is used to add values into a Table DAT.

As a next step also check the OP Snippets for the DAT To POP to see how geometry can be generated based on a DAT’s content. You can see what columns are necessary and how they are used in the POP.

Hope this helps
cheers
