Controlling a Character in Blender With an Xbox Gamepad

Have a look at this mind-blowing Blender setup shared by Digital Artist and Director Louis du Mont a couple of days ago. Using a custom-written script, the creator has managed to connect an Xbox gamepad to Blender and control a stylized character's face by simply pressing the buttons on the controller. According to the artist, the setup is based on a script shown by the ScanningCars YouTube channel in a 2022 tutorial, linked below, with some alterations added by Louis.

In the future, the creator also considers conducting more experiments with the script and sharing the findings online, so we highly recommend following Louis on Twitter so as not to miss any future updates.
