Also, real voice jumpscare

ASCII rendering in touchdesigner

As I'm working on some POPs stuff, here's a slightly crunchy TD tutorial on making ASCII renders in two ways. Just for fun.

okVJ - discount code for live performance tools

This year, for me, has been full of making a lot of different live performance patches. For a while, I was trying to create an "all purpos VJ player" - but since every performance is different, and every project is different (that's why we use TD)...

with some love for color - RGB-post processing FXs

I've been playing with some post processing effects lately. and I've been on a quest to find fun ways to work with color. So I spent the weekend putting together some RGB chromatic aberration post-processing effects I've been using into manageable...

procedural terrain in POPs and TOPs

Procedural terrain in POPs. Leveraging the insane amount of surfaces we can get in POPs. The noise is translated along normals - so it's not limited to flat surfaces.

There is also a TOP version of the noise also.

This component is d...

here's an sketch of thomas attractors in POPs.

More to come :)

TUTORIAL MICRO PROJECT #1

Ive been trying to make little micro projects, using as few operators as possible.

it is a lovely challenge

TUTORIAL storms in teacups - using 2d fluid sims and a simple GLSL particle system.

here's the first part for a tutorial for a little fluid sim project.
-----
would you in general be interested in tutorials that use more GLSL?
I've tried to stay away from it because it is pretty niche - and also I've kinda sucked at it....

2d fluid sim

I've been playing for a while with 2d, grid based, fluid sims.

Now - there are already a lot of great tools out there:
Paketa12 recently uploaded a lovely TOPs only fluid sim.
And three dashes has a youtube tutorial on how to write on...

Audio Analysis Cleaner triggers

I can't be the only one who dislikes creating triggers from audio. They always have to manually tuned - and it's usually a guessing game.

I wanted to make an audio analysis component that has visual feedback on where the trigger happens. so...

gyroid

a little gyroid function that takes in a 3 dimensional vector (position x, y, z) and outputs a monochrome vector describing a gyroid in that space.

explorations of a 2d displacement

Here's a file with a few options of how to render a 2d displacement. Just enough to get you started on your own.

A few of you have asked how I make UIs - to which my answer is - badly.

But here's a quick example of how to make a real...

oil slick tutorial

Here's a tutorial and its corresponding file :)

I hope you all are doing very well and are having a good new year!

line_wiggles

while working on the next tutorial, I got a little bit side-tracked and made this thing for you.

Have fun with it, it's probably a lot of joy with some motion controls.

control it with the mouse in the panel. right and l...

Jiggle TOPs

Here's a little work in progress.

First, creating a grid connected by rows or columns without needing to go to SOPs. So we can make really large Joy Division visuals.

and some jiggly movement - because it's fun.

Love you all 2024-10-21 13:33:58 +0000 UTC View Post

once again, I'm insanely grateful for your support.

feel free to ask questions about these if you want to.
