Stream

  • Mesh Stream: Pushes the mesh out to another application, Blender for instance, and takes back whatever it sends home when you stop the stream.

The Mesh Stream node

When to use it

Hands the mesh on the input off to another application over a local connection, Blender being the intended partner, so you can sculpt or model on it there and see the result update live in the preview here as you work. Press Start Stream to send it out; nothing round-trips back to the Mesh output until you press Stop Stream, which is also the point where whatever the other application sent back gets written there.

Good for iteration, not for anything you mean to keep, because a stream has no file behind it. Load File Mesh for that.

Subject Name has to match exactly what the other application connects under. Get it wrong and there is no error and no geometry, just a node that never updates. Check the name, and check the stream was actually started, before you go looking at the graph.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Set Subject Name to match the other application

  2. 2

    Press Start Stream to send the mesh out

  3. 3

    Model there; the preview here follows along live

  4. 4

    Press Stop Stream to write the result to the Mesh output

Pins

Mesh Mesh Whatever the other application sent back. It only updates when you stop the stream.

Settings

Setting Type Description
Subject Name Text The name the other application connects to. It has to match on both ends, and changing it mid-stream does nothing until you stop and start again.
