Ever wanted to peer into the depths of your TOPs and understand their hopes and dreams and pixel data? TOP viewers are the solution. You've probably used them, but there are a bunch of features in there you might not know about. https://youtu.be/a506pLGhIfY
Learn how to create a flowfield particle look in TouchDesigner—without using particles! This beginner-friendly tutorial covers feedback basics and noise-driven motion to achieve an organic, dynamic look. No external assets needed—just TouchDesigner! Also thanks to @elekktronaut for the overlay tox
This is my fluid simulation system presented on day two at the TouchDesigner meetup in Berlin in May 2024. The network is a translation of Bruno Imbrizi's renowned fluid simulation into TOPs (except for the optical flow part, for which I use the default component in the palette).
In this blog, I'll show you how to make trails and RGB trails inside of TouchDesigner using Cache TOP. To continue reading this post, click here.
Something I get asked a lot as a TouchDesigner developer is how to make quick and easy content. A lot of times I see people overcomplicate it, and ignore the pre-built tools that are available.
In this tutorial we have a look at how to generate trailing instances, by definind a set of leading instances and utilizing Cache TOP with a replicator and Layout TOP.
This beginner guide will not only show you the operator but some features of the operator that should be noted. This blog will glance at different operators that will spark curiosity for deeper personal exploration. To continue reading this post, click here.
In this TouchDesigner tutorial we're creating funky particles using TOP instancing based on noise and feedback.
In this TouchDesigner tutorial we're using TOPs to create a grid system with which we can remap/displace any input texture in an efficient way.
