Tutorials

A series of tutorials diving into a very large project (over 6000 operators), in which TouchDesigner is used to create a first-person game-like experience for installation and performance contexts.

One way to listen to textures in TD.   Project File: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mef8...   https://youtu.be/YU6JJsPp438

Inspired by Apple Music's album feedback ad, Crystal will show you how to recreate the effect in TouchDesigner with a Kinect Azure. You'll go over instancing with both SOP and CHOP operators. If you don't have a Kinect sensor, don't worry, you can follow the tutorial with any image.

If you’ve seen the popular TV show “The Last of Us”, you’re probably familiar with the title sequence, which features some very cool physarum-like organic structures that grow into the title graphic.

Here is my new Touchdesigner Tutorial about 3D Rendering with Buffers. I know I've already shared a project file about this topic, but many of you are still asking me some questions about the process. A tutorial is probably the best way to explain everything.

Taking inspiration from sci-fi and cyberpunk classics of the past, Cyberpunk 2077 presents a visual aesthetic equally gritty, vintage, and futuristic.

You’ve probably heard about OpenAI’s GPT3 or its sibling, ChatGPT, as they’ve been making headlines recently about their ability to generate very convincing human-like text.

In this video, Crystal will cover how to connect the Muse 2 device into TouchDesigner. The Muse 2 is a EEG device that can track brainwaves. Using OSC ports to get the data, we will build a simple generative animation controlled with the mind.

In this video, Crystal will show how you can integrate Stream Deck by Elgato into your TouchDesigner workflow. We will use the MIDI plugin to control parameters in TouchDesigner. We will also discuss using the device's open and hotkey functions while working.

TUTORIAL : Stereoscopy (3D Depth Illusion) New tutorial about Stereoscopy. It's Touchdesigner related, but not only. Put your 3D glasses on, and let's go... The TD project file is available for download on my patreon (contributors only).

Refik Anadol is one of the most well known new media artists working today. His artworks often take the shape of immersive installations, which use machine learning to visualize data to give new perspective to the current technological era.

In this tutorial we take dive under TouchDesigner's hood, and see how we can modify and expand the UI with our own tools. We do this through adding a Mute button and a Volume slider to the Bookmark Bar which control the volume parameter of all Audio Device Out CHOPs in our project.

HI, in this second part of the tutorial we will discover how to use a glslMAT to render geometry based on textures. We will continue and refine the process of calculating the distance between multiple points and use it to erase or distort geometry entirely on the GPU. Are you ready? Let's go :-)
