Real-time data into Maya

[Kenneth Ibrahim]

Does anyone have any experience reading real-time data from a stream/port into Maya (perhaps MIDI controllers, UDP, etc.) and if so the classes of the API involved? Or is the API not even necessary for this?

Ideally I'd like to read in a proprietary data stream into Maya to control the camera and other objects in the scene and use Python to do it.

Any info would be appreciated. Thx!

I've just done this using standard library threads and sockets, and then running api calls deferred to the main thread.

You'll want to check out MPxThreadedDevice which is new in Maya 2014 I believe.
