1 year ago Now that I've migrated to juce Synthesiser, it probs makes sense to create a ShapeSound just for Blender, and have the ObjectServer add frames directly to it. Then it can just be set as the sound if we want to use it.
CONTEXT AS TO WHAT THIS IS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCn297Ejvlw
Should be relatively straightforward to implement by copying the implementation from legacy osci-render https://github.com/jameshball/osci-render/blob/master/src/main/java/sh/ball/engine/ObjectServer.java
JUCE has a StreamingSocket class that should make setting up the TCP server easy, and a JSON class that will let you parse the message.
For completeness, this is the client-side code for connecting to the server in Blender https://github.com/jameshball/osci-render/blob/master/blender/osci_render/__init__.py . This will let you see the JSON format that is sent to osci-render.
The only complex part of this will be routing up the lines that are drawn to the PluginProcessor, either via the frameFifo directly https://github.com/jameshball/osci-render-juce/blob/9293214943af555d2aaa15eb4f71dc3771a66a9d/Source/PluginProcessor.cpp#L404 or somehow integrating it with FileParser but I think the first option is probably best. This would mean you'd need to disable the current frame source / file parser whilst connected to blender and then have the blender server thread add frames directly.
