In this post, we’re going to be having fun playing with some GPU particles and optical flow in TouchDesigner, with a few easy tricks. Using only a few nodes in the network, I’ll show you how to create a particle system that responds to the motion of an incoming regular old RGB camera.
Working with GitHub and TouchDesigner can be a real adventure – and what I hear most often is why and how. A bit ago I did a little write-up about working with git and Touch, but realize that’s still a bit intimidating for folks.
