In this video, I talk about different approaches to creating particle systems in TouchDesigner using nodes. I didn’t include workflows that involve GLSL and Python, because they are not specific to TouchDesigner, and I assume there are a lot of of reliable resources on these two methods available online. Also, this video doesn’t cover POP […]

Hey, I thought it would be nice to dedicate the whole video to this setup since it’s quite common yet can be confusing. Hopefully, this tutorial will spread some light. In the end, you’ll be able to use .PNG images as particles source. Project file (free): https://anyamaryina.gumroad.com/l/png_into_particles If you want a bit more detailed observation […]

Hey, that’s a brief introduction to working with L-Systems in TouchDesigner along with some particles. I hope you’ll fine it helpful 🙂 A link to the free project file: https://anyamaryina.gumroad.com/l/ocmhk Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:32 Creating a general layout 01:45 L-System overview 07:09 Transforming the tree into particles 09:54 Post-processing 11:32 Additional particles 14:59 Adjusting light […]

Let’s recreate one of the Vera Molnar’s works, which if perfect to study nested iterations!

Just a sketch, that I decided to turn into a tutorial, as it covers some topics like replication, displacement, interactivity, basic scripting. So I hope you’ll find something helpful in it. The stroke that I use to make replicants connection is c.outputConnectors[0].connect(op(‘layout1’)), which means that for each replicant we call a connect method, that makes […]
