Скачать или смотреть URack Unity plug-in module manipulation at runtime

Demonstrating some progress with manipulating object instances that exist inside the scene.

A target object instance can be selected, and a reference to the instance itself is serliazed in order to manipulate the same object between play-mode sessions.

Generally, serialized assets in Unity do not store any information of object instances... the usual method is to store the object as a prefab, but because I need the URack asset format to be able to target the actual instances of an object within the scene, the name of the object is serialized, and then the object itself is found again when play-mode is restarted using the object name.

Any object with the tag "URackTarget" is able to be selected as a target from within URack.

These particular modules can only manipulate objects, or generate "control voltages" to use between modules.

But I envisage that GameObjects can be created from within the URack interface as well... for instance, there would be a module that represents a Mesh or a ParticleSystem. The goal here is that the actual Unity editor interface is completely hidden from the user, and only Modules are used to create scenes.

The interface is of course going to be compatible with real musical hardware and software... EuroRack + Midi synths etc... so that the control voltages are totally shared, allowing for a high level of integration between the audio and the visual composition.

Over the next few months I will be working with the Elektronisches Orchester Charlottenburg (https://eo-charlottenburg.de/). This is a group of modular synthesists... I will be joining them and the URack interface will be my "instrument". We will pipe audio-analysis from the performers in the group right into URack.
