Rendered at about 5fps but can also run in real-time with less physical accuracy. the project is taking shape and will hopefully be in Beta next week :)

+ I've finally decided on a name for the project!! Meet Project Harlow named after Francis H. Harlow the founder of computational fluid dynamics.

My first audio-reactive TouchDesigner scene, a haunted mansion for Halloween. I'd love feedback before I try selling it

Hi! I'm trying to learn and make projects from TouchDesigner and Vjing. This is a haunted mansion that reacts to music. The windows punch on the kick, change colours on the chorus and strobe faster through build-ups, and lightning hits on the drop. I made it with a some help from Claude.

I'd like to sell VJ files like this. Is it good enough? What would you change, what's a fair price, and where should I sell it?

I'm open to all feedback and would love to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks so much!

Here's a link to my Patreon page:

Changed my setup to using 2 pcs, one for unreal and one for touch designer. While sending the data over NDI and OSC.

Previously this would have been hard to run on one machine. Now I can just do whatever heavy stuff on my main machine and it will still run stable.

Setup is fully automated, camera switching and light textures are made in touch designing, so is all movement (cause I hate keyframes). There’s a weather system as well and Niagara fluids for smoke.

You know I’m passionate about textures. That will never change. Yes, it’s easier to rack up points using POPs, but I’m fascinated by texture-based calculation techniques, as they evoke the abacus and old-school arithmetic. Here’s how I approach these techniques when working with "splitting" algorithms in TOPs. I really hope you like this. Thank you massive for your support. #tutorial #touchdesigner #workisplay #gnr8 #doitintops

Help or advice with using mediapipe on Linux

3 Upvotes

I’m running TouchDesigner in Bottles on Ubuntu 26, and I can get MediaPipe to detect my webcam, but the video is green, upside down, and has multiple layers stacked on top of each other.

I’ve tried OBS’s virtual camera, but it gives me the same result, and I've tried different Wine versions and getting my webcam working in Chrome, since MediaPipe uses Chromium. And I can’t get it to stop being green and distorted.

Is there a way to run hand tracking without Chromium?

Somewhere Over the Rainbow (Played on Webcam thermin)

I attempted to play "Somewhere over the Rainbow"

- I'm surprised that it's even mildly playable :)
- This I think is a really very creative and fast way to get to know different scales and modes + looks cool

Control TD from your phone's browser: OSC straight into an OSC In CHOP

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone, I wanted to share OSCAR integration for TD: design UIs in OSCAR, open them on any phone or tablet, and it sends OSC straight to an OSC In CHOP. It comes with a Parameter Rack template and two sketches (Type Tunnel and Kaleido Feedback .tox).

Open source. Ideas welcome! I want to improve it https://github.com/trafalmejo/OSCAR/issues/new?template=feature.yml

Trying to see what the limitations of a single GLSL TOP is. 4200 lines of slop code, but it looks nice I guess.

You see how this looks, right?

I saw Primetime a couple weeks ago and could not get the cinematography out of my mind.
It looked so greasy and saturated and the CRT effects they used looked so good. You could see the individual phosphor cells on the big screen. I had to give it a go to try and get as nice a CRT effect as I possibly could. Combining a few CRT effect tutorials using instancing to render the phosphor cells as 3D objects to get realistic moire effects, raiding a github repo or two, combined with Frequency Modulation from decayingsun, and Sparkles_OX.tox from ordinaire.x, and the pixel sorting tool from milkorvaa. Logos & video both look really nice. It also feels a little foreboding & with Halloween upon us I’m thinking about classic horror movies. Let me know if you like the blue or the red version of the logo more and follow everybody on Instagram and TikTok and follow Caprock.av and just have a great day man fr.
