[ Exclusive ] Collision Game

In this video we create a simple game based on sine, collision detection  and instancing. The final result isn't exactly something you can use as  an actual game, but I think there's lots of stuff in here that might be  be interesting for you :)

[ Exclusive ] Light Emitter

Hey everyone,

here's a little extra file showing a way of how to create light emitting spheres. The sphere used here isn't actually emitting light itself, it's more of a hack of aligning the sphere to the lights' position. I also added some texture in combination with PBR to create a cool m...

2D Collision Detection

In this video we create a component which can detect when objects are on top of each other (colliding). This works for any 2D input with alpha. You could also render a 3D scene and use it there, it just works on the u v axis though.

Kinect: Interactive Particles

In this In this video we look at how to create a basic  interactive particle system by using the Kinect v2 (works with Azure  too), Optical Flow and particlesGPU. We especially have a closer look at  the particlesGPU, so you can easily customize the look and behaviour of  the ...

3D Shape Subdivisions

In this video we break apart 3D objects likes boxes and  spheres by using the point data for instancing and combining this data  with noise.   Tip: Use a Noise SOP with the input SOPs (make sure to urn off the  animation).

[Early Access] Audio Analysis Deck

In this video we create a user interface (UI) using  Widgets which includes several audio visualisations such as spectrum and  volume.

What do you think of the Early Access tag? I'm planning on making this video public in around a month.

[ Exclusive ] 3D Prototypes Preview

Hey lovely patrons,

here's a file with a lot of different approaches to how you could set up a prototyping "room" in TouchDesigner. It's a .zip containing the file and necessary assets I got from cgtrader. 

I'll make a video on this in January, but I wanted to give you the option...

[ Exclusive ] Image To Boxes

Going deeper into the technique I shared with the Explorer and Disciple tiers, here's a video in which we're using instancing to create a grid of boxes and  change their sizes and colors based on texture input and noise and we add shadows to the 3D scene. This is similar to the Image Instanc...

[ Exclusive ] Pixelator

Hey lovely supporters,

here's a fun little project I experimented with today. It's a bit simililar to the Image Instancing tutorial but got quite the different look and feel.

Enjoy ❤

Deeper Into Noise

In this video we have a look at how to use Noise (and the Noise COMP from the palette) to create some cool generative graphics in four examples.

[ Exclusive ] Spectrum, Circles and Feedback

In this video we're fusing a lot of techniques we've learned over the course of all of my videos. We base the visuals on the audio spectrum and use feedback, slope and displace to make it look pretty.

Shoutout to my new mic for picking up all the odd noises I make while speaking.

[ Exclusive ] Render Setup Component

Hey Explorers and Disciples!

Here's a file for you - a basic render setup component so you don't have to set up all the cam, lights etc. every time. Let me know if this is useful and if/how it can be improved!

Know issue: For some reason the resolution isn't updating for me. Curre...

[Exclusive] Petri Dishes (Replicator)

In this video we create a simple generative artwork which we copy using the replicator. We then use digits to make every copy behave slightly differently.

Internal Audio to TouchDesigner

In this video we route audio from a media player (Spotify, YouTube, iTunes etc.) into TouchDesigner using the freeware VBCable. We also create a custom component so you can reuse this in the future and we create a simple visualisation to get you started.

[Exclusive ] SOP to TOP Manipulation

In this video we convert SOPs to TOPs via CHOPs to be able to use this  as instancing data and to be able to easily manipulate the data in TOPs  with feedback, noise etc.  

Tip: You can animate the Geo: e.g. the y rotation using absTime.frame*.2

Hey patrons!

I'm almost done with my bachelor thesis (I'll make an overview video soon) and can now focus more on the work for you guys. I've also just moved, which is why everything's been a bit of a mess.

Anyways, I wanted to reach out and ask you supporters what you'd like me to fo...
