Example for sending images from Unity to Python

[Guidosalimbeni]

I wonder if you could provide also an example of how to send an image from Unity to python (for example a render from the camera view in unity to python). That would be great thanks

did you ever figure it out @Guidosalimbeni ?

Need the solution as well. Have you ever figured it out? @bc @Guidosalimbeni

Didn’t end up needing it. You just have to serialize the file as a string (like base64), send it as a normal message, and then in python decode the string back. zmq just uses strings to send messages (or bytes), so if you can turn whatever you want it to a string, you can send it

@bc Do you have an example code? I could not figure out though I've tried everything :)

Here are the pieces:

1. C# save a picture from the device camera
2. C# load that file as a base64 string
3. C#: send that string to your ZMQ python endpoint (using same approach as in this example repo)
4. Python: receive that string, and pass it to base64.b64decode(message_string)

Done! Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. It was really helpful. I appreciate it.
