Adobe Character Animator / Unreal 5 Mashup



Lots of potential here - having Adobe Character Puppets playing live into an Unreal Environment - this opens up opportunities of Cartoon Digital Puppets for Live Shows and Immersive Theatre. The setup here - is piping in a live feed generated from Adobe Character Animator - using Mercury Transit - picked up using NDI - to pipe it into Unreal as a video texture with Alpha Channel.
NDI Tools - is available to download here - https://ndi.video/type/ndi-tools/ you then need to install the NDI Unreal SDK - you will need to fill in an email form to recieve a link. an alternative would be Off Worlds - Toolkit - that has NDI streaming - https://offworld.live/resources/download-center

here's an old tutorial that shows the basics of setting up a NDI reciver and material in Unreal.
