Audio Reactive Plexus in TouchDesigner (Python + OpenCV FLANN)
In this tutorial I show how to build an audio-reactive Plexus network in TouchDesigner using Python inside a Script TOP and OpenCV FLANN.
Everything is built from scratch, without SOP instancing or external 3D tools, focusing on a clean and portable Python-based workflow.
What you’ll learn:
