Hello, this is Xtal.

The **Liquid Pigment** project recreates the **flowing and bleeding textures of paint** inside TouchDesigner. Colors dissolve, overlap, and spread like liquid pigments on a canvas, producing an expressive and painterly visual effect.

### Key Features

**Displace-Based Fluid Distortion**
The source footage is processed through a Displace TOP, creating the impression of paint dripping, flowing, and breaking apart.

**Blur & Level Adjustments**
Blur TOP softens transitions to mimic pigment soaking into a surface, while Level TOP enhances contrast to bring clarity and depth to the flowing textures.

**Composite & Layering**
Multiple sources are blended with Composite TOP, producing layered visuals that resemble real paint merging and diffusing across a surface.

**Ramp-Driven Color Customization**
A Ramp TOP provides complete control over the color palette. By adjusting gradients, you can easily shift the style—from subtle watercolor washes to bold acrylic pigments—offering endless creative variations.

### Creative Applications
This project can be adapted for:
– Experimental motion posters and abstract video art
– Real-time visuals for live shows or installations
– Audio-reactive pigment-style effects
– Music videos, art films, and cinematic abstract sequences
