Python

We've been having a lot of fun with our new Twitch streams (Wednesdays and Fridays at 2pm Toronto!). We get to build interesting tools, learn new techniques, and work with the audience on their questions.

Python Tips'N'Tricks #2 Python Tips'N'Tricks #3 Python Tips'N'Tricks #4   At first i hated Python with all my guts. Im not even a programmer, but I had my fare share with languages like C, Java and the like. Python is so different.

We have a guest post from Tim Franklin this week about his experiences, lessons learned, and tips he picked up while building media server tools in TouchDesigner. Coming from a background of Watchout and similar high end servers, Tim has been trying to rebuild similar workflows in TouchDesigner.

Recently many people were asking about how to use ML in TD and how to combine them. So I will start a small series of tutorials about this 'LEGO' part.

As the use of Python in TouchDesigner becomes more widespread and important, it’s worth taking a look at how we write it.   This article discusses ways that we can structure our projects and development practices to keep things clearly structured and maintainable.   Click here to read the article.

If you’ve been following along with the workshop materials from the TD Summit 2019, there is one more exciting little tid-bit to dig-into. Thinking about how to create a reusable template for creating toxes is no small feat - especially if you want to include external Python libraries.
