    Hello,

    I'm trying to let Unity directly communicate with a Smoke Machine.
    Is there a simple way to do this?
    because i have literally no clue on how to do this.
    I can plug the smoke machine directly into my pc, so i don't need to use a DMX controller

    Thanks in advance,
    Timo

    How do you activate it from your computer? My initial thought would be to send a signal out via C# to your Smoke Machine. Should work directly from within Unity. Depends on the machine though.

    That's exactly what i was thinking too.
    but i literally have no clue how to do it.
    I did read something about OSC, i don't know if that's the right way?
