Thermal Vision Effect: Creating a Heat Mapping Filter in TouchDesigner [TOUCHDESIGNER TUTORIAL]

Hi!

In this TouchDesigner tutorial, we’ll explore how to create a **THERMAL VISION EFFECT**, simulating the heat-mapped visuals seen in thermal imaging cameras. This effect blends scientific aesthetics with creative design, using color mapping and distortion techniques to achieve a dynamic, infrared-like appearance.

I’ll guide you step by step on how to layer and control various nodes, including *ramp*, *displace*, and *comp*, while sharing tips on how to refine colors, textures. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have the skills to customize this effect for your own projects, whether for motion graphics, VJing, or experimental visuals.
