Feature Requests / Virtual Production tools
December 18, 2020, 03:15:40 AM
There is a new huge thing called Virtual Production. Basically is shooting a real foreground person or object with a green screen in teh background or a leds wall and render the background with a realtime 3d engine like Unreal. Tracking camera movement in realtime and compositing that also in realtime.
For Indie productions we can use Canon cameras with capture cards or even cheaper with the EOS webcam driver.
You can check some of my experiments here:

In this regard it will be REALLY GREAT, if using ML we can have some sort of lens information thru usb or live link or OSC protocol. It will be great get focal length, focal distance and lens aperture in real time. So we can match that information in realtime with Unreal engine virtual camera.

I´m waiting the donate button so you can continue working in this fantastic tool.

Thanks!!

Scripting Q&A / Send lens information thru usb port
July 25, 2020, 03:56:20 PM
Hi,
I need a script that get lens information like: focal_length and focus_distance, and send that information to a PC thru a usb port in realtime.
Is that possible? I didn´t find anything about usb communication to a PC in ML Lua manuals.
Another way to do it?

Please help.-
Best,
Niko
