Hi all, i’m IOS Developer, i see some apps for TD, but i wont to write my own app, not for public i think, maybe in future. So in TD wiki i see that it works using OSC protocol, there are some info about how to connect to TD. But the main question for me, what king of data should i send to TD? What methods can i call? Is there any manuals ir info where i can read about these? Thank you.
You could send OSC messages from your app, and have them go into an OSC In CHOP, then use a Select CHOP to pick out specific messages, and connect that to a CHOP Execute DAT, then inside of TouchDesigner, you can script what you want to have happen at that OSC trigger. Alternatively, you can send messages through a TCP/IP connection if that works better with your app.
Hi Hibari,
TouchDesigner is a little more low level than that, in that it doesn’t have any particular way to connect to it and set of commands to issue etc. You can connect to many different types of nodes such as TCP/IP DAT, OSC In DAT, OSC In CHOP, UDP In DAT etc. What you do with the data that is getting sent back and forth is entirely up to you, and is done using scripts or node networks inside of TouchDesigner.
To get started I would use a TCP/IP DAT and connect to that, and you can send messages back and forth from your app.
