Learn how to use instancing and simple post effects to create geometric patterns in TouchDesigner. You can easily get different results by changing parameters in the patternCHOP, swapping out the instancing object or using different instancing operators.
Generative Geometric Patterns in TouchDesigner
Tutorial
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a material that convincingly simulates an eye or iris, integrating figure creation, material design, and texture development. We'll start by introducing the fundamental concepts before moving on to build the 3D figure base.

In this TouchDesigner tutorial I’ll show you how to take the particle cloud input from a Kinect V2, filter out the points you don’t want, and add color and movement effects.

The new episode of In Just 10 Nodes is out now! This time I had really fun with the challenge, trying to output multiple and diverse visuals from a point cloud, within a just 10 nodes network, but thanks to the power of instancing, a lot of flexibility is possible.

Many of the operators in the TOP family can generate interesting and surprising results when used within a feedback loop, and as it turns out the Bloom TOP is no different.

This tutorial will take you through the process of turning PBR materials into dazzling crystals with diverse shapes, textures, and colors. We’ll begin by creating a 3D base and setting up the material, then move on to lighting, texture development, and shape refinement.

This new episode of my tutorials series In Just 10 Nodes, has been particularly challenging, since starting from SOPs means using at least 4 nodes just for rendering, leaving us with an extra tight 6 nodes range to develop multiple and diverse visuals.

In this tutorial we'll go over the new Shader Park plugin for TouchDesigner. It allows you to easily take your raymarched shaders that run in the browser and bring them natively into TouchDesigner to introduce things like audio reactivity, hook them up to sensors, or render out high quality video.

https://youtu.be/bkRc6CrsndI This effect was a happy accident that came out of my experiementing with making a stipple effect using instanced force fields in TouchDesigner. I think there's a lot more that can be done with this technique so I thought I'd share!
Force Field Particle Effect
Tutorial
I just started a new series of tutorials, called "In Just 10 Nodes" that highlights TouchDesigner's incredible power.In this series I always start from a single network of (guess??) just 10 nodes and then experiment with it, challenging myself to create many diverse visuals from it.

I’ve tried doing this in TouchDesigner for years and have finally figured it out. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create a particle effect that combines all three forces a flocking algorithm requires: attract, repel, and follow. https://youtu.be/c7WElrDCHzg
Flocking Effect with TouchDesigner

This tutorial guides you through creating a fluffy material. You'll need two operators to achieve this effect. First, the Fractal SOP adds dynamic "noise" to the shape, specifically a sphere in this case.

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we use a different approach of texture instancing to create agamographs, basically two textures (images, videos, generated content) blended into one 3D object, creating a sort of optical illusion. We also make this interactive using face tracking.
