Video Recording
Update (watched Louise’s fix)
Takeaways
My greatest success
I established the NDI connection from TouchDesigner to Unreal very easily. I thought it was pretty seamless to get TouchDesigner input into Unreal.
My worst struggle
I have no idea how to get my projection to render in Unreal. I can see that the NDI is coming into it, but I don’t know remotely how to get the projector object to pass my video in the demo scene.
I’m sure I missed some key step that Louise pointed out. I should have paid attention more at the end of class, reached out, and been on the ball about this sooner.
But I’m sure this is a quick fix/check box in Unreal. Which is one reason why Unreal Engine is so frustrating.
Do’s
- Follow and remix great tutorials
- Look to classmates’ homework for how they debugged
- Reach out for help
Don’ts
- Use NYU wifi for NDI
- Wait too long to ask questions
- Look at Blueprints in Unreal if you don’t have to
