this tutorial explores a prompt-first workflow using streamdiffusiontd inside touchdesigner.rather than starting from a fixed image or preset, the process begins by shaping mood and texture through prompts.simple structures such as shapes and particles are then layered on top to guide focus, motion, and spatial behavior.the emphasis is not on achieving a single final look, but on understanding how diffusion responds over time —to prompts, video input, and structural constraints.many parameters are adjusted live, allowing the visuals to evolve through observation, iteration, and experimentation.

this approach treats streamdiffusion as a responsive visual system, not a generator of static results.viewers are encouraged to use this setup as a flexible framework and adapt it into their own visual language. the particle-based setup shown in this video is not fully broken down step by step.both the circle-based and particle-based reference projects are included in the patreon files for further exploration.

### important notes

the prompts used in this video are shared below as a starting point for your own experiments. feel free to adapt them and explore how the system responds.

this setup uses **streamdiffusiontd 0.3.0**, which must be downloaded and installed separately.please make sure you are running the correct version, as behavior and parameters may differ across releases.
