Feedback loops are a super interesting technique that can generate all kinds of amazing and sometimes unexpected outcomes. Among those unexpected results is the possibility to generate some really interesting reaction-diffusion patterns with the addition of just a few operators!
The new Netflix series about Andy Warhol has been exciting many artists about Andy's works and life. This is a great opportunity to be inspired by their work and create generative pieces inside of TouchDesigner.
In this tutorial, we'll go over how to take the shaders you create in Shader Park and render them into high-quality videos using TouchDesigner.
Feedback loops are amazing yet always seem elusive for TouchDesigner artists. How do we make them? How do we control them? How did adding a single random operator create this amazing effect? Unless you understand the fundamental way feedback loops work in TouchDesigner, you'll always be guessing.
https://youtu.be/aeSX5KhGf5M This is an intermediate TouchDesigner tutorial that shows how to animate simple instanced SOPs via a vertex shader.
Although the Timer CHOP is a commonly used operator that has a wide variety of applications in TouchDesigner, many beginners may have yet to dive into its more advanced functionality.
Manfred Mohr is one of the early pioneers of generative and algorithmic art, working with computer code to create art in the late 1960s and 1970s.
Cropping is such a vital part of texture processing. Especially when you're creating dynamic content it can be difficult to constantly figure out how to crop in tightly around an object.
In the following video, you’re going to learn how to control both analog and digital instruments through movement with the help of TouchDesigner, Ableton Live and a Kinect camera.
En el siguiente video, aprenderás a controlar instrumentos analógicos y digitales a través de movimiento con la ayuda de TouchDesigner, Ableton Live y una cámara Kinect.
Many new TouchDesigner artists and developers are inspired by the great works of artists of the past.
Photobooths are classic and time-tested experiences that clients of all sizes love. Even though they're so popular, they can involve a lot of tricky mechanics when it comes to managing the photos and getting them to users or web servers for distribution.
With the exciting addition of VST support in the recent experimental release of TouchDesigner, you might be looking for an opportunity to start to working with VSTs!
Many new TouchDesigner artists and developers are inspired by the great works of artists of the past.
It can be difficult to create visual effects with a sensor's depth map when it's full of walls, floors, and ceilings. With many of the new operators in TouchDesigner focused on working with point clouds, there are effective new techniques we can use with only a handful of operators.
After working through initial concepts and tools in the previous Flex-focused video, you’re probably ready to start working with the realistic particle-based fluid simulations that Nvidia Flex is known for.
A fun project were you can make your own turntable using 3D printed parts, some electronics and Touchdesigner. All files are in the description of the YouTube tutorial. https://youtu.be/lcBDSiFHzpQ
The Basic Sop Technique, 3D Heart modeling in TD My first Youtube Tutorial is Open!! https://youtu.be/KozCfmZFxNw
I recently created an interactive installation that involved procedurally generated plants using the L System SOP (learn more about the project).
MIDI is one of the most versatile control signals out there. It's been used not only for musical devices but also for more abstract controllers and input devices.
In this TouchDesigner tutorial, we'll go over how to remove the background from your webcam on Mac, or PC without needing an RTX graphics card. We'll then pipe your custom visuals + webcam effects made in TouchDesigner into Zoom, or Google Meet. We'll also look at feedback loops in TD.
https://youtu.be/va6cxORsFMw Here is Noto's friend Starboy the talking ball!
This tutorial shows how to combine RayTK scenes with traditional render TOPs, mixing Geo COMPs/MATs and raymarching! https://youtu.be/EehwTr8F4Xs
One of the most exciting parts of VST support in TouchDesigner is being able to generate real-time sound environments using VST synth instruments. The tricky part is that these features are so new, you probably don't know how to get it all setup.
Nvidia Flex is an amazing system that allows you make highly scalable particle-based fluid simulations in TouchDesigner. But if you've never worked with fluid simulations or physics in TouchDesigner, all of these concepts can feel a bit overwhelming.
In this two part tutorial we're going to build a custom component in Touchdesigner that records an animated geometry file into a texture format. Then in the second part we are going to use GLSL to: 1. instance the model, 2.
The standard comp slider is not always suitable to match the look and feel your creative team or client has requested. In this tutorial I will show you how to very simply make your own custom slider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TViwVUBkOaw
In Part 3 I will show you how to use the Tweener class I created and shared to programmatically add animations to your UI. Sorry for the small audio glitches, I am going to sort that out for next video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhcdNRZIOb0
In this video will will continue to use the menu we built in the last video and add code to control the display of content. This is the bare minimum code you need to connect the buttons to the content. I will make the files downloadable as soon as the blog page goes live.
I am starting a series of tutorials about how to build custom UIs for end users. This is geared towards building touch screen based exhibits for museums and tradeshows. This first video covers the basics of buttons and creating custom reusable buttons with custom parameters.
Max 8 is a fantastic environment for working with audio and it pairs wonderfully with TouchDesigner. Connecting the two is easier than you think!
Hi, in this tutorial we will learn how to create a particle system with out any particles :-) Where i got inspired: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClCl... Unveil_studio: unveil.contact.berlin@gmail.com
