https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_fUvFEW5Cs Hi everyone, I'm proud to present my latest creation: Cloth POP. It's a custom operator that runs only on NVIDIA GPUs, using CUDA to simulate cloth constraints in real time.

Broadcast tracking data from TouchDesigner over the PosiStageNet protocol straight to grandMA lighting consoles or any PSN-compatible system.

This CHOP runs voice-activity-detection model. It takes an audio CHOP input and outputs a single channel Speaking (1.0 = speech, 0.0 = silence). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9aJQzdRg1k WHAT IT DOES Turns a live audio stream into a clean, frame-accurate is-someone-speaking signal.

Object Detection POP is a native C++ Custom Operators that runs state-of-the-art transformer-based object-detection models fully on GPU inside TouchDesigner. Connect any TOP and the node emits one POP point per detection with bounding box, class, confidence, and an optional stable track id.

Custom Texture Transformation Operators focusing on mathematical tiling and & reprojection Multi-architecture build compiled on rtx-4080, confirmed working on 3070ti to 5090 range. Should be compatible with older cards also.

Full Synthesizer UI Piano-Only UI Synthesizer v1.0 is complete synthesizer built entirely with TouchDesigner native CHOPs — self-contained Component .tox, no external plugins, no c++, no vsts. Interface is entirely made with COMPs - Buttons, Sliders, GLSL knobs!
Synthesizer v1.0 - TOX

A drop-in component that exports animated SOP geometry from TouchDesigner directly to USD - one self-contained cache (.usda / .usdc) that every major 3D package reads. Handy when you want to build something procedurally in TouchDesigner, then take it into a production renderer (Cycles, Redshift, Ar
TD-SOP-USD-Anim-Bridge - Export animated SOP geometry straight to USD

Interactive installations thrive when the barrier to entry is low. To engage audiences effectively, we need robust methods for connecting personal mobile devices to large-scale generative visual environments.

This is a simple tool that connects Claude directly to TouchDesigner. With this bridge, you can simply prompt Claude (like "create a red box and spin it"), and Claude will automatically build and connect those blocks for you inside TouchDesigner.

A TouchDesigner CPlusPlus DAT plugin that drives a DMX4ALL USB/Serial interface directly from a Table DAT, using the native Win32 serial API (no third-party drivers needed beyond the virtual COM port from the DMX4ALL device). Enjoy ! Arnaud note: only for windows

I’m continuing to share pieces of my custom TouchDesigner library — this time focusing on SVG Components. These components bridge vector workflows and TouchDesigner by enabling the import, manipulation, and export of SVG data using SOP geometry and parameter-driven systems.
