https://youtu.be/-vbwSu5agmk HI everyone , i found the time to make a video about the SD TOP. What is the difference? IS AN OPERATOR YOU NEED NO PYTHON TO RUNNIN IT and you also do not need conversion to TRT so we maintain the model as they are!! Have fun with the video !

In this tutorial we start by shaping the base form that will become our piece, inspired by the work of John Whitney. First, we build the 3D foundation, then set up instancing to give position to each element, thinking carefully about how the pattern should distribute in space.

This tutorial is about the 4D as a way to deform geometry. You lift a 3D object into 4D, rotate it there, and project it back. The result is a smooth deformation that is hard to get in another way.

DINOv3 is Meta's newest vision foundation model — it looks at an image and turns every patch into a 384-dimensional "semantic feature." No labels, no training, no captions. It just knows what things are. What it does TOP in → TOP out. Wire any image/video TOP into it.
DINOv3 for TouchDesigner — a drop-in TOX for semantic vision

A TouchDesigner TOX wrapping Roboflow's RF-DETR transformer model with a GPU-composited render path and a zero-Python-thread architecture. Ten model variants (4 detection + 6 segmentation, all COCO-pretrained) swap from a dropdown.

In this tutorial, we go through three examples of how to use the Trace POP to convert images and videos into 3D. Get the project file: https://www.patreon.com/posts/160621953
Trace POP
Stream LiDAR/TrueDepth video over NDI, capture Point Cloud Photos, and send body, hand, face, motion, audio, speech, AirPods, and Apple Watch data as OSC — straight into TouchDesigner over Wi-Fi. No cables. No cloud. No accounts.
TDLidar — your iPhone as a depth camera, 3D scanner, and sensor rig for TouchDesigner. v8.0.0

A drop-in TouchDesigner component for building wavefield visualisations from a library of seventeen wave equations across twelve source shapes and six instancing modes. It is audio reactive, LiDAR ready, and entirely driven by custom parameters on the TOX itself.

Built a single TOX that wraps Spotify's Basic Pitch polyphonic-transcription model and exposes it as proper TD-native I/O: One CHOP input — any audio source outActive CHOP: 128 channels (ch1n0..ch1n127), one per MIDI pitch with current velocity. Wire to instancing, GLSL, DMX, midiout — anything.
