UDP Luasocket
Posted: Tue Oct 13, 2015 5:02 amDoes anyone know anything about UDP Luasocket? Is it even possible in OctaneRender?
I don't know anything about Lua scripting. Only python!

Lunatic Python seems quite interesting but I'm assuming Octane only reads Lua file so what I should be looking for is integration of Python inside Lua via Lunatic Python which requires understanding of Lua scripting in the first place. I don't know anything about it.
Is there going to be a Python interpreter inside Ocatance 3 in future? That would be epic!

I'm a architecture student and trying to bring in point coordinates but hopefully some mesh surfaces from Rhino3D's Grasshopper to Octane Render via UDP so they become lively interactive inside Octane. But Lua seems alien to me. This also could be really exciting for OctaneVR in future...........
I wish Octane would support Python. I don't have time to learn Lua!

Lua FFI library can be used to load ANY C library into lua, just like Python or JS Ctypes, and this could even be a C interface to Python itself.

Well it's pretty cool but it still requires knowing Lua to do this which I don't have any idea. I think there is no way I can start scripting for Octane by just knowing Python. I wish there was a way around that.
I don't understand why Otoy wouldn't support Python. Most of the visual artists are using Python in modelling packages. That would be huge for Octane!
