How to learn TouchDesigner?

If you feel overwhelmed by learning TouchDesigner — this video is for you 🙂

The structured approach without relying on tutorials too much makes wonders: you focus on your own ideas and don’t waste time learning techniques that you’ll never use. If, at first glance, it seems too complicated, or time-consuming, I promise you that in fact it is a lot easier, quicker and brings more satisfaction in a long-term.

Also, learning by just replicating tutorials may give you a harmful illusion that TouchDesigner is too complicated, or, even worse, that you are not smart enough to understand certain things. It’s a nonsense! That’s not that something wrong with TouchDesigner or you — it’s a side effect of chaotic learning approach, where you mix beginner, intermediate and advanced techniques with no vector.

So, in this video, I suggest you to organize your learning process and get the maximum satisfaction from it. All you need is a tiny bit of curiosity and patience — these two usually alternate and support one another 🙂

Why I didn’t make the tutorial on that?
Though this project is not complicated, it’s quite complex, and I simply didn’t have enough time on making a full tutorial on that yet. If you are genuinely interested, let me know — I’ll probably make a detailed overview of the network!
