Good Concept, But Required Tech Knowledge Too Much For Me To Use
I never used this script so can't really say if it works or not. The instructions to use are too technical for me. Set up isn't so easy after looking at the step by step instructions of (1) Set up external Server (2) Set up The Project (3) Create the Server Script (4) Replace "Your_GOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEY" with your actual Google Cloud API key. Credit to the creator for giving examples of code to copy paste in the set up process. But even so, it's a rabbit hole (What is my Google cloud API key? I need a Google Cloud Account?) that I'm not ready to dive into.
Would be nice if something was as simple as just rez and drop in script without the tech overhead.
