Touching Typography – Case 1: Noise Grid – part 2 of 2

Welcome to part 2 of this Noise Grid Text animation tutorial! Make sure you follow part 1 first. You can find it here: https://youtu.be/D4n6ohCSIKQ

In this new tutorial series we are going to explore certain ways of animating text using Touchdesigner. Where our multiple tutorial series ‘Kinetic Typography’ focuses on building an actual text tool for iterating typographic animations quickly, this series is more focused on examples from the field. Unfortunately, a lot of these typographic animations are pre baked. We’re rebuilding the animation in Touchdesigner and will add a real-time element to it. This is what we would like to call: ‘Touching’ it!

In this first tutorial we are going the explore a random scaling noise animation what you often see in the works of designers like ‘DIA Studio’ and ‘Studio Dumbar’.
