Remote Control

Remote Control is a web interface dedicated to assist a SkyReal user in its operations. You can remotely start commands and change selection.

Requirements

Remote Control is a web app which requires Node.js to run.

• Download and install latest LTS Node.js version here.

Then you'll need to install dependencies. Go to SkyReal\SkyReal\Content\Scripts, open CMD in this directory and install the express module:

• npm install express

Finally you must allow Remote Control in the SkyReal settings.

Launch

Still in the SkyReal\SkyReal\Content\Scripts directory, open CMD and start the server:

• node index.js

Now you can reach Remote Control on your web browser at 127.0.0.1:3000.

Note that SkyReal must be started in collaborative mode.

Interface

Commands

The left panel lists all the available commands.

Some commands need a selection. They will take into account your selection in the world outliner.

World outliner

The right panel lists all the object of the scene. You can sort them by type using the filters.

There is a distinction between the selection of the SkyReal user and the selection of the Remote Control user.

• SkyReal selection is represented by a red border:
• Remote Control selection is represented by a green tile:

At the bottom, a toolbar lets you:

• Refresh the interface to see the current selection of the SkyReal user
• Clean the SkyReal user's selection
• Apply your selection to the SkyReal user's one
• Focus on the SkyReal user's selection in the World Outliner
• Hide the selected parts (your selection)
• Remove the selected parts (your selection)
