Consulting & Developing a plugin for Unreal Engine to control scene elements from external sources.

We want to develop a plugin for unreal engine. This plugin should be able to control parameters of elements inside a unreal project. The kind of controls required are: - parameters of project cameras - texture parameters - initiating an animation - parameters of text. The plugin will receive inputs from external applications over a direct TCP/IP and/or UDP port. Example: 1) We connect a joy stick to the system and the data from the joystick controls the position parameters of the unreal camera. 2) We send the plugin a command from another computer to play an animation inside the project. The project is directed towards a broadcast production pipeline. Scope of work: a) Consulting and advising us on how this can be done at a technical and architectural level. b) Developing the solution c) Testing in coordination with our teams. d) Support of the developed features for at least 1 year e) Transfer of source code and IP to us. Plugin Features: While the specifics and sub details of the project will need to be worked out and agreed during the consulting and pre-order discussions, the broad level features (inputs needed) are: - Joy stick control of camera - 2 different Data protocol integration to control the camera. One of the protocols is FreeD. This gives a stream of camera positional data which needs to match the camera in the unreal project. please note that we will need to develop a configuration to map the real world data to match the virtual world data scale. - Get a list of all animations available in the unreal project - Send a command to play one of the animations available in the unreal project. - Change the value of any parameter of an object in the unreal project. The bidder for this project, should have a demonstrable track record in the area of game development with unreal and have a lot of coding experience in UE4.
