In this TouchDesigner tutorial, we dive into the new POPs operator family to create a wavy particle system. You’ll get an introduction to working with Particle POP and Math Mix POP: two essential operators for building particle effects.

Hello lovely people! Inspired by the recent tutorial by Scott Mann on the  @TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ , I made a quick video about ParticlesGPU and external forces you can use for some very cool effects.

Using the latest TouchDesigner release is fun and exciting but it's not always a good idea. Learn about how to make sure you're using the right version to avoid breaking projects and having to buy unnecessary licenses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQqa0WuFqUk

Make your 3D renders jump off the screen in TouchDesigner! Christian shows you how to tweak your post processing techniques, lighting and color design, as well as some pro techniques to take your renders to the next level.

We look at how to import and use animated 3D models in TouchDesigner. This technique lets you present your visuals in a new context and is perfect for simulations, virtual environments, or giving your work a fresh, dynamic setting.

Jack DiLaura walks you through TouchDesigner’s Perform Mode, a performance-optimized mode that renders a single window containing your project’s visual output rather than the entire TouchDesigner UI.

Hello lovely people! A new audioreactive project!! I finally made a tutorial for the demo I posted some time ago. We use instancing to create varying geometries based around the structure of the text, and then the AudioAnalysis tool to map values from the audio to the rest of the network.

This is the full recording of my Bass Node Alpha 0.1 workshop. My first workshop exploring some of the foundation blocks of audio-visual generative design.  Project file available on Patreon: https://tinyurl.com/ydd8269a Watch, learn, and experiment with me in real time.

Learn how to handle unexpected problems with your interactive TouchDesigner installations! Mistakes in hardware configuration, last minute changes, and unreasonable demands from creative directors are common when putting your art out in the real world.

Learn how to control ComfyUI workflows directly from within TouchDesigner using the ComfyTD component by DotSimulate. Marco covers how to link parameters and inputs between the two environments, enabling real-time control over AI image generation right inside your TouchDesigner network.

This tutorial covers the steps to getting started with the MediaPipe plugin in TouchDesigner and shows a couple of slightly more developed examples. Mediapipe TouchDesigner plugin created by Torin Blankensmith and available on his GitHub: https://github.com/torinmb/mediapipe-touchdesigner

Helloo lovely people!! I have a little tutorial here to create a force field for ParticlesGPU that moves around using a mouse input chop. If you play around with the force values for the force field and the ParticlesGPU, you will get some beautiful results!!

Learn how to make UIs in TouchDesigner actually do stuff like control parameters and open outputs! Widgets are super customizable UI components with tons of features. And Parameter COMPs are a super easy way to expose controls without having to build out individual components.
