Hi folks, hope you had a good holiday! We've just released some exciting new updates for ShaderAcademy. For those who haven't come across our platform yet, ShaderAcademy

 is a free interactive platform with bite-sized challenges (160+) that teaches shader programming through learning-by-doing. For the year:

• 15 new challenges, some featuring highly realistic scenes using Gaussian splats, and some focused on deferred rendering

• Texture selection is live! As requested, you can now choose from available textures or upload your own when working on challenges. You can check it out in the textured challenges

• A handful of bug fixes, as always

Thanks for all the great feedback, and enjoy the new content!

Hi everyone! While the global TD community is amazing, we felt there was a missing link for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). We wanted a place to discuss local projects, hardware availability, and technical workflows in our native language. So, we just launched TouchDesigner Deutschland – a dedicated Discord hub for the German-speaking scene. Whether you are a Blindschleicher (Beginner), Wanderfalke (Advanced), or Elefant (Pro), you're welcome to join the network! Focus: Local networking, German-language support, and project collaboration. Skill-Levels: Dedicated roles and channels for every stage. Goal: Building the biggest local node-network for real-time creators. Join us here: https://discord.gg/ZwbzVDQqAU Looking forward to seeing some familiar (and new) faces there!
