Render Pick without MultiTouchInDAT in TouchDesigner

Use any sort of interaction data for render picking, without the MultiTouchDAT! I will show you how to use any chop-based data as a source for render picking, applying these interactions to alter a point cloud instance-by-instance! We will scale, move and recolor instances with ease.

If you dont see the point cloud on file open, press ctrl-` to reset the system. I have also included a link to the HDR image I used for env map, and attached the substance file here as well. You might need to download these and update the paths for the scene to render properly.
