[PD] Unity3d and pd vanilla

[Scott R. Looney]

Patrick - i've got an example around here i'll try to dig up. it was really
basic. click on an object, it falls, and sends a message to PD.

the other thing is that if you're simply triggering samples from Kinect you
can definitely do that in Unity directly and not have to involve PD. if
you're open to this, i would check out the Unity Asset Store extension
called Master Audio. it's about $40 (sometimes less) and literally drag and
drop simple to set up. i've got a couple of videos on the basics to set up
and the documentation is fairly clear. if you've got common game actions
like colliders or triggers interacting, it won't involve any coding at all.

email me offlist and i can get you more info.

best,
scott
