Connect Daydream Cloud
connect_daydream_cloudCreate a Daydream cloud bridge to send frames from a TOP to the StreamDiffusion API and receive diffused results in TouchDesigner.
Instructions
Create a Daydream cloud-hosted StreamDiffusion bridge in TD. A webclientDAT POSTs the encoded source TOP frame to Daydream's REST endpoint; the diffused result is pulled back via a Syphon/Spout/NDI receiver and exposed as a null TOP. API key is read from DAYDREAM_API_KEY in the TD process environment — never inlined. Live probe SKIPPED (requires Daydream account + outbound HTTPS).
