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
