In this tutorial, we’ll explore TouchDesigner’s new Bloom TOP and see how it transforms transparent materials and textures into glowing, dynamic visuals. We’ll start by building a 3D shape, adding materials, and playing with alpha and color maps. Then, we’ll bring it to life with movement, introduce a second shape, and set the scene with a vibrant background.
From there, it’s all about the details—soft edge highlights, luma blur, grain, and shadows to add depth and texture. We’ll experiment with zooming the camera, refine the composition, and use the Upscaler TOP for a crisp, polished look. Let’s dive in and create something stunning!
