TouchDesigner

The last post in this series was centered around the content types and gears that can be utilized in your fulldome projects (click here for part 1, and click here for part 2!).

LED mapping is not an easy or intuitive workflow to start from scratch. In TouchDesigner, we have GeoPix, an application designed and created by Lucas Morgan and Enviral Design, that makes complex LED mappings a breeze.

In the last post in this series, we talked about fulldome theatres and their inputs and outputs in general and explored a few types of projections. Now that’s just the beginning of working with the fulldome!

Crystal Jow creates a fully generative scene using a Leap Motion sensor. She shows you how to draw on screen and create beautiful composites using finger position, feedback loops, compositing techniques, as well as using gestures from the Leap Motion to control additional functionality.

Projection mapping is something everyone wants to get involved in but it can be expensive to get a hold of projectors. We've all seen those sketchy looking cheap projectors boasting amazing specs. Well we took the plunge and picked one up!

One of the great things about TouchDesigner is the amount of pre-built tools that come with it. A lot of the time these go unexplored and folks end up re-inventing the wheel.

Whether you are a developer or an A-V artist who is engaged with immersive production, you may have found “Dome” as a rising concept within the industry.

There are many ways to add drag and drop functionality to your user interfaces and applications in TouchDesigner.
