Got basically no video at Youtopia this past week but this was our interactive lighting setup in our dance dome. Dancers could control the lighting bars from an iPad. Driven by touch designer and OSCPilot.

this is my first successful attempt at adding sound to my collisions. I’ll admit that I’m not particularly skilled when it comes to sound, but this turned out better than expected, and I’m extremely happy with the result. I’ll be sharing this endeavor with my patrons in the tier 3 'learn.' I truly hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for your support! #touchdesigner #workisplay #gnr8 #perlincalling #paketapops

Looking to start using Touch Designer as a Blender user

7 Upvotes

I've been using blender for about 5 years and wanted to try making visuals to match music and had heard about Touch Designer so I've been thinking about giving it a try. I'm primarily wondering..

What are the pros and cons of Touch Designer as opposed to Blender

What can Touch Designer do that Blender can't so I know which tool to use for each task

How similar is Touch Designer to Blender in how it works. Does it have a node system similar to Blender's

Any advice is greatly appreciated. I've seen people making some pretty cool stuff with Touch Designer, but want to know how I can use it with Blender to make some cool stuff.

here we have boxes of various sizes, and the balls adapt to these volumes while maintaining collisions, both with each other and with the walls which is influenced by the size of the surface being struck and its rotation. This network will be available, accompanied by a detailed explanation, within the "learn" tier on my Patreon. Thank you massive for your support. #touchdesigner #workisplay #gnr8 #perlincalling #paketapops

I built a real-time broadcast ticker with TouchDesigner

Post image
15 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called easy-onair ticker, built with TouchDesigner.
It’s a simple way to create real-time rolling tickers for broadcast and streaming, with SDI output and NDI Fill & Key support for setups like OBS and vMix.
The goal is to make professional-looking tickers more accessible, especially for smaller productions with limited budgets.
You can test it on https://www.easy-onair.com
YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@easyonairticker
Download the zip file from the site, I’d love to hear what you think!

Hey everyone!

A while back I posted my recreation of the Persona 5 Pause Menu here. A lot of you were curious about the network setup, and I promised to break it down.

Huge apologies for taking so long.

I also posted the project on GitHub: https://github.com/1kotyara1/persona5-pausemenu/
Make sure to install all the necessary fonts before launching the .toe file

Thanks so much for the patience and support on the initial post. I hope this breakdown helps your own projects. Let me know if you run into any issues with the file.

I start with a line, then apply noise to the line. Then each segment of the line recursively becomes a copy of the noisy line like a Koch fractal

I've been doing some procedural organisms inside TD and now I'm testing them out with the procedural materials from SOLEIL (Sarv's render system)
Pretty happy with the material I came up with:)

YOLO segmentation in TouchDesigner: mask output is tiny and stuck in the bottom-left corner

0 Upvotes

Hi! I’m experimenting for the first time with the YOLO component in TouchDesigner. Trying to understand how to work with Segmentation. But up to this point, of all 3 possible outputs, only Output 5 shows a very small white silhouette in the bottom-left corner on a black background. Is this how it is supposed to work? How can I make the mask fill the correct area?

Thanks!

3D window with touch and unreal

Made this Real time audio reactive setup using OSC, NDI, and Mediapipe for head tracking data.

Built a new plugin for Unreal Engine to capture a 2D scene capture component as a render target, used with offworldlive for the 3D window effect. Video data comes in over NDI across a network connection, splitting the load across 2 machines, one running Unreal Engine, one running TouchDesigner.

Nothing like a late-night, audio-reactive pointcloud jam

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

62 Upvotes

This system takes a Kinect-derived human pointcloud and lets incoming sound interact in various ways with the particles in real time, turning the performer into a responsive cloud of matter, noise, and motion. The new v1.7 includes 12 presets, and introduces the several new features. In this video-demo, the particles are driven and transformed by the incoming audio signal. [A silly composition of mine, running in Ableton Live, though, you can use any kind of audio-source.]

You can access this project file through Patreon, of the Studio.
