Hello lovely people! We are going back to basics with this one! In this video I am working with some position instancing techniques that use compositing and feedback for some cool structures.
In this tutorial we will see how to generate instances in a practical, simple but also creative and effective way, inspired by Anatoly Fomenko and his topological and mathematical structures.
A good mixer is critical for a VJ rig. Learn how to build your own crossfader with a bunch of useful features and a nice UI! It's also a good way to practice designing your own custom components and level up your TouchDesigner developer skills. It's even got a little bit of Python!
Christian shows you how to pixel map two separate LED matrices together to create one cohesive image, showing you a great introduction to custom mapping your LED setups.
RayTK in TouchDesigner introduces an updated instancing workflow that enables the creation of stunning visuals using fewer objects and a more efficient structure.
In this video, Crystal covers how to build custom parameters in TouchDesigner and use the AutoUI tool from the palette to create a UI quickly with widgets.
In this tutorial, we construct procedural light effects by integrating split scan workflows, kaleidoscopic symmetry, and controlled feedback networks using Cache TOP.
Audio reactive scenes are awesome but what happens when you want to combine a few? Learn how to share audio analysis data (and other resources) across scenes that can be dropped into any project! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRKwgdMioGY
We demonstrate a simple and efficient way to create particles based on any TOP input, whether it’s a static image, a video, or a visual you create live in TouchDesigner.
In this tutorial, we explore some interesting ways to use the feedback TOP in post processing to enhance a composition. You'll use feedback to highlight 2 different effects: a glitchy buffering effect, and a dynamic light-weight smoke effect.
We take a look at procedural 3D modelling in TouchDesigner by working with the program’s POP and SOP operator families to recreate the famous Utah Teapot 3D model.
In this tutorial we're looking at four different examples of working with POPs. These include working with Copy, Texture Lookup, Particle and Feedback POPs.
In this video, we cover how to use the Panel CHOP and Logic CHOP to create interactive mouse tiles in TouchDesigner.
Scott Mann dives into how external forces can be deployed to specifically shape the motion and behavior of particles. Discover how to combine multiple forces in the ParticlesGPU operator for beautiful, organic results.
This workshop breaks down the Character Window workflow, which combines server-hosted Daydream StreamDiffusionTD with MediaPipe to create a pinch-pulldown window over a person’s face in real time.
Learn to link audio directly to GLSL shaders in TouchDesigner for limitless audio-reactive visuals! This short tutorial with Lake Heckaman walks you through routing audio input, passing data as uniforms, and making your shader pulse, move, and glow to music.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use StreamDiffusionTD to run advanced AI workflows in TD without needing a $3,000+ RTX 4090/5090 GPU workstation. Make sure you grab the project file before diving in! https://youtu.be/iLjksLHr2NI?si=O7ZG9IuqrLKHQtWJ
https://youtu.be/gQdmocb-JBQ Learn TouchDesigner fast. This beginner tutorial walks through the UI, core tools, operator families (TOPs, CHOPs, SOPs, DATs, POPs, and COMPs), and simple workflows so you can follow other tutorials with confidence.
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.
Hey hey! Here's a fun tutorial on how to make a customized paintbrush via a particle system. Tutorial includes a free annotated project file. https://youtu.be/R_mEvhujS1c?si=7yUT-y74pTN2sveo
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.
Hello lovely people! Here's a video about the some of the NVIDIA flex components in TouchDesigner. I used the Force COMP and some feedback loops to turn this into a very interesting effect with exploding particles.
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
TouchDesigner users tend to fall into a spectrum from Artist to Developer. Each style has advantages and disadvantages. The trick is to combine elements of both! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1S5rUTvXng
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.
In this video, we cover how to use NDI screen capture on your iPad to integrate with DotSimulate's Stable Diffusion tool in TouchDesigner. Then, we'll build a tile pattern using the iPad's camera and Procreate.
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.
A comprehensive four parter CHOPs workshop for free, not skimming on any details. The heart of every TD project is CHOPs, no matter if you're working on audiovisuals, interactive installations or pure system development. That's why it's good to know all the details about this family.
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.
