Speed-based animation is critical in TouchDesigner, but you really shouldn't be using absTime to do it. Learn some good alternatives and how to set up nice speed controls for your projects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtXad96DVB0
In this tutorial, we’ll build animated sinusoidal waves to create a dynamic and flowing visual effect. Starting from a simple 3D base, we’ll focus on shaping motion through curves, using sine-based deformation as the core driver of movement.
In this tutorial, we show you how to create beautiful particle trails inside any custom geometry using the powerful RayPOP.
Jack DiLaura walks you through generating 3D particles from textures utilizing new POP-based workflows.
Learn how to create a stylized VHS-style glitch effect using GLSL! This tutorial walks you through simulating analog video distortion (chromatic aberration, color drift, noise, and temporal jitter) to achieve that nostalgic, broken-signal aesthetic.
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.
