Does anyone know anything about UDP Luasocket? Is it even possible in OctaneRender?
I don't know anything about Lua scripting. Only python!
UDP Luasocket
Any native API call, including sockets, is possible using FFI in global scripts.
I haven't given it a try, but maybe lunatic-python might be useful - do most of your work in Python rather than Lua

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.mist wrote:I haven't given it a try, but maybe lunatic-python might be useful - do most of your work in Python rather than Lua
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...........abstrax wrote:See viewtopic.php?f=73&t=46644
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.parsa021021 wrote: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.

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.Goldorak wrote: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.parsa021021 wrote: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.

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!
