TD as Game Engine, Part 3: First Person Camera

A series of tutorials diving into a very large project (over 6000 operators), in which TouchDesigner is used to create a first-person game-like experience for installation and performance contexts. Part 3 investigates the “FPC_LOCATION_CONTROL” container, which handles how our joystick input gets translated into camera movement in the world coordinate system.
