Seamlessly Looping Animation with Feedback Loops in TouchDesigner (Beginner Tutorial)

Today we explore the simple technique of using LFO Chops in Touch Designer to create a chaotic and colorful mess which deceptively loops at the same point (according to the slowest LFO frequency.) Visually we are just creating some goopy crud, but the concept is important, and to all you fledgling TDers: easily animating parameters with LFOs is not something you will outgrow.

I go a little off track to make sure beginners understand how useful the built-in OpSnippets can be for understanding how different operators work, as well as copy/pasting them into your working project.

Anyways, I have been overworked and overwhelmed with non-creative responsibilities, but I can see the light and I’ll be back with new tools, updates to old ones, and more tutorials very soon!
