As we saw in our previous video, the particlesGPU component in the 2022 builds of TouchDesigner is incredibly powerful. One of the most exciting features is the ability to add GPU accelerated forces similar to a Particle SOP, Metaball SOP, and Force SOP.
Many developers love the power of using the particleGPU component that comes with TouchDesigner. In the latest 2022 update, a lot of features have been improved and changed which means you'll need to re-learn how many of the particleGPU features work.
In this tutorial we look at how to create a basic interactive particle system by using the Kinect v2 (works with Azure too), Optical Flow and particlesGPU. We especially have a closer look at the particlesGPU, so you can easily customize the look and behaviour of the particles to your needs.
