Sending data from MAX to Touchdesigner

Hi Everybody,

I'm failry new to MAX (and touchdesigner), and i'm exploring some possibilities for my project.

Is there a way to send matrix / vector / floats (i.e. X.Y coord. points) from MAX to Touchdesigner in real time?

Thanks!

OSC.

But i need to ask, why use both softwares instead of doing your project completely in just one?

Thanks for the reply,

I was reaching a dead end with a project including blob tracking and an EtherDream device. Since there is no built in module for this device in max, i explored the possibility to send data to TouchDesigner , wich have a built in module. But i found a way finally to do it all in MAX! It's a good thing because using 2 softwares for a project can become really tricky.

Sorry for the late answer, i didn't receive mail notification of your post!

Hi there, I'd love to know more about how you managed to drive a laser directly from max/msp.

Would you share a bit of your experience ?

Did you have luck sending osc or any values from max to touch designer ? What did you do ?
