5 Ways To Make Particles in TouchDesigner

In this video, I talk about different approaches to creating particle systems in TouchDesigner using nodes. I didn’t include workflows that involve GLSL and Python, because they are not specific to TouchDesigner, and I assume there are a lot of of reliable resources on these two methods available online.

Also, this video doesn’t cover POP operators, because at the time of posting, POPs are not yet available to regular users.
