Question / Help Unable To Get Intel RealSense Working

Hi, I'm new to OBS Studio and am interested in using the virtual green screen feature of Intel RealSense. I have a Creative Blasterx Senz3d which has an Intel SR3000. I've installed the realsense SDK and OBS Studio 25. When I installed OBS Studio, there was not a checkbox option for me to install the realsense plugin which I read in the forums was needed. Eventually I grabbed OBS Studio 16 and installed it which did have the checkbox option to install the realsense plugin. Now I have the realsense option as a source, but it does not work. I just get a blank view from the source. I have also upgraded back to OBS Studio 25 and the realsense source has remained as an option, but still does not work.

Can anyone provide guidance on how to setup a realsense green screen please?

Thanks!

I recently downloaded the Chromacam program and added it to OBS as a video recording device. Maybe this will help you? I think the license will cost you $ 30, but there is also a free version, but there is always a watermark on your picture.
 
You are not expecting anything from Depth through Video Capture Source. Green screen removal of RealSense camera supposed to be a separated source from plug-in. However, I used to have my SR300 worked in long ago but tried to set up again today with latest OBS and RealSense drivers+SDK. Sadly, installation of OBS did not provide an option to install RealSense plug-in. Predictably such plug-in did not appear when I want to add a source.
 
The current OBS plugin depends on background removal functionality which was removed, pun intended, from the 2.0 version of the RealSense SDK. The newer D4xx cameras only work with the new SDK.

However, the new SDK does include some *example code* for background removal, so I got it working by modifying the align-advanced code sample to transmit NDI using the NDI SDK (because I use NDI extensively anyway in my streaming). I also set it to use a pixel format with alpha (BGRA) and had it fill in the background pixels with transparency instead of the color grey. OBS magically does the right thing with this.

It is equally plausible that this approach could be wrapped up in a new OBS plugin.

If that sounds like more coding than you want to take on, my other suggestion is to launch "rs-align-advanced.exe" which is in the "tools" directory of the RealSense SDK 2.0 installation, then do a window capture of that, and apply a chroma key filter on the grey background. I have not tested that but it may work.

Would you mind doing a write up or compiling a plugin? This is still a great camera that I'd love to use with OBS. Thanks!
