Asked this question on an other forum, but was directed here. Even though I am not a developer.
The new denoising options in Redshift, making near-realtime rendering possible, got me thinking of an old idea again.
Say I have a (physical) checkers set. With a camera and some software I can track the position of all the pieces during the game. Now I want those positions to transfer to my Cinema 4D project in real time. So the software tells me from where to where a piece is moved, whether it is black or white and if it is a double or not. I know I can move objects in C4D with a Python script, but can I connect that script to external input? I have been Googling for an hour now but I probably use the wrong search terms because nothing comes up.
