In today's video, Elburz provides a need-to-know introduction to the new Engine COMP, a tool which is expected to fundamentally change the way TouchDesigner projects are built.
Engine Comp allows you to distribute the workload of a project across multiple CPU threads using the new TouchEngine. This means that if something heavy happens in one of your Engine COMPs, it won't slow your whole project's FPS down to a halt. Hopefully you're as excited about it as we are!
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.
