You'll learn how to create a light painting installation in TouchDesigner in this tutorial with Marco. By isolating the brightest spots of an input video or webcam feed and turning them into a geometry with the TraceSOP, you can then add particle systems along the way.
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.
