Node: External Scene

The External Scene node lets you provide your own HTML webpage to be hosted by Waltz and integrate with nodes in your show. Only standard client-side technologies are available to a webpage hosted as an external scene like HTML/CSS/JavaScript, no server-side technologies like PHP/Java are supported.

To learn more about how to build an external scene that integrates with Waltz, see Trail: Creating External Scenes by Hand.

Materials and values may not update at the show's target frame rate when viewed in a Scene in order to preserve network bandwidth. This only effects Scenes containing Materials and/or values, and will not effect the Material and/or value being used elsewhere, like with an NDI™ Output Node.
