'''
== Controlling Unity with Max/Msp ==
''' <br>
In this tutorial, you will get the basic ideas of interactive connection between Unity and Max/Msp, using open sound control (OSC).<br>
You will try to control noise deformation intensity of a mesh object as an example.
<br>
<br>
There are some materials you need to test this tutorial.
<br>
Please download and install following plugins before you start;
<br>
<br>
-OSC plugins for Unity<br>
[[Media:OSC_Plugins_for_Unity.zip]]<br>
<br>
-OSC plugins for Max/Msp<br>

== Make a OSC bridge on Max/Msp ==
In this section, you will make a OSC sender part on Max/Msp.
<br>
<br>
1.Open a new patcher from top menu bar. You can also make a new patcher with shortcuts "command" + "K".
<br>
<br>
2.Press "F" key to make a number box for float. This will be the input of the noise contoroller.
<br>
<br>
3.Press "M" key to make a message node and type '''"/test $1"''' and connect with the number box.<br>
'''"/test"''' is an identifier of the osc message. You can rename whatever you want, but you should pay attention '''not to forget "/"''' before the name of identifier.<br>
Also, '''"$1"''' is required to import external value.
<br>
<br>
4.Press "B" to make a bang node and press "N" and type "OpenSoundControl".
<br>
<br>
5.Press "N" and type '''"udpsend 127.0.0.1 2222"'''.<br>
'''"127.0.0.1"''' is a IP address, which is used to test this setup '''internally'''.<br>
If you try this tutorial with multiple computers, '''check the IP address of a computer for Unity project.'''<br>
"2222" is a name of port. You can define any integer, but make sure that '''you are using the same port number for Max patch and Unity'''.
<br>
<br>
6.Connect nodes together like the picture below;<br>

<br>
7. Then, lock the patcher with "command"+ "E". Now you are ready to run the "sender" part.
== Make a OSC bridge on Unity ==
In this section, you will make OSC receiver part on Unity.
<br>
<br>
1.Open Unity and make a new project folder.<br>
You will see the window like this picture;<br>
[[File:Unity 02_01.png|thumb|500px|left]]
<br>
Click the "NEW" icon on the top right of the window to make a new project folder.<br>
Then you can name the project folder and define the place you make.<br>

<br>
Make sure that you are selecting '''"3D"''' mode. If you are selecting, its color is red.
<br>
<br>
2.Create "Empty" game object from the create button on the "Hierarchy" tab, which is top left on the window.<br>
[[File:Unity 02_04.png|thumb|500px|left]]
<br>
Then, right click created game object and rename it "OSC Receiver".<br>
In this tutorial, all scripts related OSC
== Prepare a noise animation script on Unity ==
In this section, you will develop the object which you animate with OSC signals.
== References ==
