How to make a "3D Viewer"
Hi All,
I'm pretty new to the WMR. Being a user of Cinema4D I would like to make a connection with the WMR Headset (in my case Lenovo Explorer).
A simple plugin that output the same "current camera" view in cinema to the headset, for now without the head tracking.
What can be the way to do that?
I know Cinema4d sdk pretty well... just, for now, I ignore how the WMR sdk work.
Cinema4D can manage stereo viewports as i show in this image:
Thanks in advance

Hi RenatoT,
very cool project! I have been working on a “live link” connection between Unreal Engine ans Cinema4D last year. I had been using a TCP connection between both where the Unreal part was the server and the Cinema4D part was the client.
Since Cinema4D is rendering the viewport via OpenGL you can potentially create an OpenVR C++ Plugin for Cinema4D that enables rendering your OpenGL viewport on a MixedReality HMD directly in Cinema4D.
To get you started follow this very nice 101 tutorial on writing native OpenVR apps.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
Hi The_XR_Guy. Thanks for these infos. I'll take a look
Cheers
