TouchDesigner Dynamic Particle System with Attractors Part 1: Autonomous Agents

In this new project series, we will build a particle system controlled by multiple attractor systems, including autonomous agents! We will also learn some cool, off-the-beaten path post processing techniques and look at python for project extensions!

In Part 1, we explore the overall project and then jump right in designing an autonomous agent system!
