Instancing in TouchDesigner 1/3: Drawing from SOPs, Coloring by Points, Basic Animation

What is instancing, and how can we use it? Instancing allows us to draw a single shape, or SOP, many times, more efficiently than if we were to copy it over and over. The Geo comp allows us to define how each instance of the SOP is drawn, using several different control fields which can take instructional data from almost any source, provided we format the data correctly. In this video, we discuss how to draw shapes in specific formations using positional data from other shapes, how to color shapes based on their location, and how to animate our shapes individually and as a group.
