Point clouds in TouchDesigner was first taught as part of the PRECTXE 2019 Festival in Seoul/Korea. This 3 part video series starts with a look at Instancing and the new Instancing related features added in recent experimental builds of TouchDesigner. The second video loads a star database and animates the stars introducing participants to the elemental operators connected to point clouds and ideas on using TOPs to animate the data. The final and third video looks at techniques of saving a SOP as a point cloud with extra attributes as additional layers and looks at the creation of a purely TOP based particle system with the point cloud as an emitter.
