WIP Syphon integration

Texture Sharing addon V0.0.1 for Blender 3.0.x

Spout / Syphon for Blender allows to stream texture streams from blender.

This works only for Windows 10 64 bit and macOS 12.x

Installation

Please make sure you have the most current Blender 3.0.x installed.

1. download the addon from the releases

2. Open Blender > Menu > Preferences > Add-ons > search for and enable the 'Texture Sharing' add-on

3. Press the button to install the SpoutGL or syphonpy library via pip.

4. Once the SpoutGL / syphonpy library is installed, disable and reenable the addon.

5. Save and close preferences.

Usage

Currently it is only possible to send Spout / Syphon streams, but not to receive them.

For streaming you need a Camera object.

The plugin adds a Panel to the Camera properties called 'Streaming Texture'. The following properties are available:

• The streaming name is default set to the camera name.
• capture/streaming resolution.
• show preview inside viewport.
• use eevee color management (recommended)
• chose a workspace with the desired render / shading preferences
• chose a scene and layer setup to render

You should be able to create as many Cameras with streams as you wish.

Special Thanks:

Obviously Lyn Jarvis for developing Spout in the first place. And without SpoutGL for Python developed by Jason and the valuable hint from Jonas Dichelle I would still dab in darkness... People from V002 for Syphon and Alex for syphonpy

CAD_Sketcher showed me how to dynamically install the needed SpoutGl library. Hurray to Opensource!
