[PYTHON] Operate Maya with OSC from vvvv

Operate Maya with OSC from VVVV

Create an OSC reception environment for Maya

Download python script

Download the script from the following URL to accept OSC in Maya

• OSC.py
• simpleOSC.py

Download OSC.py Download simpleOSC.py

Place the python script in Maya's python folder

Place Osc.py and simpleOSC.py in the following locations (Application installation folder) \ Autodesk \ (Maya version) \ Python \ Lib \ site-packages \ maya

Now you can call simpleOSC methods by writing the following, and you will be able to operate OSC in Maya.

import maya.simpleOSC

maya.simpleOSC.initOSCClient(ip='127.0.0.1', port=11112)

Reception preparation on the Maya side

1. Create a cube (named pCube1)
2. Run the following source in the script editor

import maya.cmds
import maya.simpleOSC

def moveObj(addr, tags, data, source):
    print "%s\n" % data
    cmds.setAttr( 'pCube1.translateX', data[0] )

maya.simpleOSC.print_Test()

maya.simpleOSC.initOSCClient(ip='127.0.0.1', port=11112)
maya.simpleOSC.initOSCServer(ip='127.0.0.1', port=11111, mode=0)   
maya.simpleOSC.setOSCHandler('/vvvv', moveObj)

maya.simpleOSC.startOSCServer()
#maya.simpleOSC.closeOSC()

You can disconnect by running maya.simpleOSC.closeOSC (). When modifying the Handler, disconnect it once and then connect it again.

Prepare to send vvvv OSC

The sample code is included when you download vvvv. Open the OSC sample code and refer to the part where the OSC is sent. (Path with vvv.exe) /girlpower/IO/Networking/2_Advanced (OSC) /00_OSC_Examples_1.v4p

Align the port number to send with Maya. (This time, since maya.simpleOSC.initOSCServer is set to port = 11111, set 11111 for vvvv as well) maya.simpleOSC.initOSCServer(ip='127.0.0.1', port=11111, mode=0)

If you want to operate between PCs with different IPs, set the IP as well. (This time, I will operate it on my PC, so I set ip = 127.0.0.1 or localhost)

Operate Maya with vvvv

1. Set the x coordinate of the cube to 0
2. Change the value of vvvv and check the x coordinate of the maya cube
