This is a very tiny tool to map OSC (Open Sound Control) messages to a GPU texture and share them with Spout. This might sound totally useless but is actually the most efficient way I found to get OSC messages into KodeLife, and I needed this to feed beat data from Cooldown when doing some live-coding of visuals. Kodelife can read the Spout-shared texture using its Shared-image feature:
NB This is a Windows-specific tool, since Spout is a Windows-specific library. For OSX, you can consider using Syphon.
This is a regular OpenFrameworks project, so you need to install OpenFrameworks, then run the projectGenerator to configure the solution with your installation of OpenFramworks.
You need the addons ofxOsc (built-in) and ofxSpout.
This tool was made for my specific need, and everybody uses different OSC messages addresses, so you will need to customize them. Go to src/ofAp.cpp and tweak the Settings section to fit you needs, in particular change the addr_to_index dictionnary to map your OSC messages to the lines of the texture.
The texture values are clamped within the range 0-1. This is very annoying to me, so if you find a work-around, please share it!
