In this TouchDesigner tutorial we create a setup for generative floor plans or architectural sketches using Noise and Limit and Edge TOPs. Tip: Also use Blur, Luma Blur and Displace before the edge. New mic so you finally hear all the weird noises I’m making in better quality! —– 00:00 Intro / Overview 02:34 Setup […]
This is a workflow/ setup guide for using Axis Neuron and Touchdesigner. There is very little documentation (almost none) about setting up Axis Neuron and Touchdesigner hopefully this tutorial is helpful! I came up with this solution while working on a multi-channel zoom installation for the Public Visualization Lab (OCADu) presented at the ISEA Symposium. […]
In this tutorial series we are exploring certain ways of animating text using Touchdesigner. Where our multiple tutorial series ‘Kinetic Typography’ focuses on building an actual text tool for iterating typographic animations quickly, this series is more focused on examples from the field. Unfortunately, a lot of these typographic animations are pre baked. We’re rebuilding […]

Aside from the effect itself, it could be used as an exercise in GLSL for beginner/intermediate level, because it can be modified in different ways to achieve different results. […]
RabbitControl is a protocol for remote-control: Control parameters exposed from any application. https://derivative.ca/community-post/asset/rabbitcontrol-remote-control-anything/63238 This implementation allows for exposing TouchDesigner custom parameters to other TouchDesigner instances, the web or applications that understand RCP. It allows for bidirectional control of parameters. More information on the RCP can be found here: http://rabbitcontrol.cc and a complete specification is available […]

Generative palettes from part 1 can be used in very different scenarios, here are some of them: raymarching, rendering with GLSL MAT, conformal mapping, fractals colorization, colorful particles. The basic code stays almost the same in all cases, so as soon as you understand it, you’ll be able to use it in many of your […]
Feel excited to work with the power of the combination Notch and Touchdesigner, but be bothered by the license problem. What is the best portfolio for the beginners or individual artists to build the TouchDesigner & Notch skills to create appealing effects in realtime? In this one, Jun Li introduces you to the two different […]

Simple GLSL code to make a noise with a variative period (frequency). The idea behind this series is to provide simple (even for complete beginners) GLSL code, that could do something that would be really hard to make in TouchDesigner alone (or that would require a lot of CPU/GPU time without GLSL). You could download […]
