Hello!
This is a little video tutorial on how to use the OSC (Open Sound Control) protocol to get data in and out of CDK. This is possible thanks to hendrikp's awesome plug in system for the free sdk

http://hendrikp.github.com/Plugin_SDK/

Basically I will be using a little app called TouchOsc to talk to the engine and control things inside there using flowgraphs.

If you ask me the best CryEngine Tutorial yet

Great work and thanks to all who helped achieve it.

Awww yea.
Trying this out tonight!

Added a precompiled version for you guys to try

you also need the plugin sdk installer of course.

mind =

im going to have some fun with this

Thank hendrikp for the amazing plugin and kimba23 for the tutorial.I am trying to do the osc signal tranfer between my ipod touch(also galaxy nexus) and CDK.The osc monitor shows the pc receives the osc messege normally,but in CDK it just doesn't show any input values.
I've attach the screenshot.Please help analyze it for me.Thank you!

And here is my flowgraph settings.
The sHost should be the IP of PC running CDK and the nType should be UDP-Server when we are using OSC touch to drive CDK,right?
The osc monitor receives the messege right,but the CDK just doesn't show any input values.
Please help with it.
Thank you!

Hey aldrickbanks. It all looks good, one thing you should try is to not have the osc monitor open before you open free cdk. For some reason, osc likes to send only to one program at a time.
Hope that works!

Appreciate it,Kimba23!Got it done.

Is it too greedy for one time to ask what audio analyzer you use for this tutorial:)?

Thank you for this tutorial...
In the video you briefly mention a camera control . Any chance to get a look at the flow graph sketch for it?

@aldrickbanks. I use a separate computer to do the sound analysis and send the data through the network, a mac in fact, I use quartz composer. i believe something like max/msp or pure data would do the trick.
@kooops Ok maybe tonight i make you a little flowgraph

cheers
