Control TouchDesigner with a Website & Vice Versa: WebSocket Tutorial 6 - Send & Receive Messages from a Website
🕑 Added 2022-10-02 04:15:06 +0000 UTCHey! In this beginner series, we'll go over how to use WebSockets to control TouchDesigner with a website in real-time and vice versa. We'll cover step by step how to implement everything from scratch. We'll also cover some programming concepts assuming little to no experience with programming.
In this tutorial, we'll go over how to send and receive WebSocket messages from our website to TouchDesigner.
If you'd like to follow along and program the website here is a link to the starter template.
If you want to work off the completed website, it is available for free here. If you make a login on Glitch you can 'remix' the website and have your own version available for use.

You can send your data through the websocket using JSON. It's up to you to decide how to format your JSON in a way that's easy to use and reference :)
