Sharing Textures between UE4 and Lightact

Textures can be shared between Lightact and Unreal Engine. This happens via Spout and it happens with very little cost and virtually no detectable latency. In this article we’ll set up a 2-way sharing – Lightact will send a texture to UE4 and receive a different one back. So let’s get to it.
