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.
Noise Sculpting in TouchDesigner (Part 9*) - Bubbles, Waves and Scene Switching
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.

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
Sharing audio reactivity across scenes

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.
Simple Particle Systems with TouchDesigner TOPs

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.
TouchDesigner Glitch Feedback in Post Processing

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.
Procedural 3D Modelling with TouchDesigner
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.
