Generative Particle System | Sand Dune Image (TouchDesigner + GLSL)

This video shows a generative particle system created in TouchDesigner with custom GLSL shaders. The system uses a photograph of sand dunes as a data source to influence the particles’ behavior, creating an ethereal, animated visual with organic texture and complexity.

This work was recognized and reposted by the official TouchDesigner Instagram account. It builds upon my research into GLSL vertex displacement, evolving a static geometry into a fully dynamic, animated visual system using particle rendering, procedural motion, and feedback loops.
