This is great. I am trying to alter it a bit to do the same to a custom 3D object but am having a bit of trouble. I’m still unfamiliar with Vuo vs Quartz Composer. Any thoughts on that setup?

[krezrock (Azy)]

thank you. It should be as simple as replacing the Make Sphere node with a Fetch Scene node.

Great thanks, I got it to work finally with this advice- I was originally also trying to apply an image as a shader to the object, which I think without the proper lighting or other particulars, rendered the object sort of invisible / unlit / unshaded.

Unlit image shader is what is used in this case. I didn’t want the plugin to alter the incoming image in any way.
