XTALCALX TOUCHDESIGNER PROJECT FILE XTAL-PF-013 POINTILLISM
Hello, this is Xtal.
This downloadable project file presents a generative visual effect inspired by pointillism and sketch-style outlines. Built entirely in TouchDesigner, it transforms motion and texture into point-based contours and fragmented traces. It blends analog sketch energy with procedural digital control.

Technical Highlights:
Pointillism-Inspired Filtering: A reinterpretation of Seurat’s technique using TOP-level noise sampling and pixel manipulation.
Edge Detection Pipeline: Filtered outlines are extracted and displaced to create a hand-drawn feel.
Noise-Driven Dot Distribution: Adds randomness and organic detail while retaining structure.
Dynamic Trace Effects: Optional motion blur and feedback systems introduce memory and flow.
Core Components:
Edge, Pointillize, Displace, Noise, Level, and customized node chains
Structured for real-time performance and easy parameter tuning
This project includes:
A complete point-based visual FX network
Adjustable parameters: dot size, edge sensitivity, noise strength
Organized node layout for learning or remixing
Optimized for live or rendered use
I hope this becomes a useful addition to your creative toolkit whether for learning, remixing, or performance.
Stay fluid,
— Xtal
