XTALCALX TOUCHDESIGNER PROJECT FILE XTAL-PF-013 POINTILLISM

Hello, this is Xtal.

This downloadable project file presents a generative visual effect inspired by pointillism and sketch-style outlines. Built entirely in TouchDesigner, it transforms motion and texture into point-based contours and fragmented traces. It blends analog sketch energy with procedural digital control.

Technical Highlights:
Pointillism-Inspired Filtering: A reinterpretation of Seurat’s technique using TOP-level noise sampling and pixel manipulation.

Edge Detection Pipeline: Filtered outlines are extracted and displaced to create a hand-drawn feel.

Noise-Driven Dot Distribution: Adds randomness and organic detail while retaining structure.

Dynamic Trace Effects: Optional motion blur and feedback systems introduce memory and flow.

Core Components:
Edge, Pointillize, Displace, Noise, Level, and customized node chains

Structured for real-time performance and easy parameter tuning

This project includes:
A complete point-based visual FX network

Adjustable parameters: dot size, edge sensitivity, noise strength

Organized node layout for learning or remixing

Optimized for live or rendered use

I hope this becomes a useful addition to your creative toolkit whether for learning, remixing, or performance.

Stay fluid,
