Instance trails are additional instances that follow an instance. In this tutorial we build a reusable component with which you can transform any instancing network to trailing instances. Previous popular methods have done this using Feedback to cache the instancing data, but here we use a Cache TOP and replicate multiple Cache Selects which gives […]

I haven’t found a simple and clean CHOP-only solution to accumulate data on-demand (unlike the Speed CHOP which keeps accumulating on each cook), so here is Accumulate CHOP! Just Pulse the Accumulate parameter, or Reset. Handles new channels, and channel renames too. Single sample channels only!

You might be familiar with simple motion detection techniques in TouchDesigner using nothing but a webcam, but what if you also wanted some direction information? Using the Optical Flow and some CHOP processing we can get a relatively clean signal of the general direction of movement (Left/Right/Down/Up), for very cheap in all regards – no […]

There is a glitch in TouchDesigner’s Ramp TOP at half sub-pixel phase values where the gradient doesn’t go from maximum to minimum in one pixel. This can cause glitches in instancing data and other cases as well (as shown in this video). My free RealRamp component produces a gradient jump from maximum back to minimum […]

This free TD component will pulse every reset you want, no more referencing one Keyboard In CHOP to all your feedbacks or LFOs or whatever, that’s just too much work!
