In this video, we create a simple workflow that connects illustrator assets with TouchDesigner and can update as assets are being created. Using a directory structure and the replicator comp, we will populate the TouchDesigner working canvas with SVG assets that automatically connect with nodes on the canvas. With these assets, we are able to create a variable carousel that can be instanced into a fun tile effect.
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.
Something I hear often is the difficulty in doing TouchDesigner blob tracking. “It’s too slow!” or “the tracking isn’t working!” or “I don’t know how to use it!”.
We’ve all been in installations where you need to send textures between apps or process. It may be because of limitations of a process, maybe because we’re using different apps to do different processes.
