Turn Any Video into Point Clouds with TouchDesigner

Give any video a 3D effect with TouchDesigner and Video Depth Anything.

In this tutorial, I show you how to get depth data from your video content and turn it into impressive point clouds and scan lines using TouchDesigner. I show you multiple methods, including a comparison to how it can be done with POPs.
