Added 2024-07-16 06:58:31 +0000 UTCI'm excited to share a particle system and component I've recently developed, named "ParticleV."
This system offers a wealth of creative possibilities, and I'm eager to explore its features with you. The project file for "ParticleV" is exclusively available to my Patreon supporters.
I hope you find this tutorial inspiring and informative!
If you have any questions or need further clarification on any aspect of the system, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Happy experimenting!
Important Notes:
The attached file corresponds to the official release version 2023.11600.
I am utilizing an NVIDIA 4090, which significantly enhances the number of particles I can manage. For accessibility, I've reduced the default particle count to 128^2 in the file. Feel free to experiment by increasing this number to see how it affects performance on your setup.

Are you considering to add some things like velocity and lifetime btw? I watched most of the video but I couldn't really tell how easy it is to make them move around in a shape other than a sphere, like a box/volume.

2025-01-19 17:31:38 +0000 UTCYou are correct. saptial bining is much more fast. It is optimized by using shared memory array but its still heavy comper to spatial bining.

2025-01-19 17:30:55 +0000 UTCsmall thing btw, you've got some stuff hardcoded in terms of framerate, replacing 1/60 with absTime.stepSeconds will keep things dynamic :-) only place I noticed it was a TOP called math2, not sure if its anywhere else.

2025-01-18 20:29:15 +0000 UTCI'm curious, you mention in the video that it checks for collisions between neighbors and that this can get pretty heavy. Is this already optimized in some way? It might make sense to look into spatial binning, David Braun has a great component for this inside of his Boids demo project https://github.com/DBraun/TouchDesigner_Shared/tree/master/Starters/boids

2024-07-16 18:02:35 +0000 UTCNot yet possible in this stepup

2024-07-16 18:01:54 +0000 UTCYou can just convert the your points from the hand gestures to TOP and have them be the attractors position. I will try to upload an example soon.
Mini UV
2024-07-16 18:01:14 +0000 UTCCurrently it’s not possible on that set up. They attracted to the center thats why the spherical shape but it possible with a limit TOP to make a box shaped boundary. More complex shapes aren’t yet possible.

2024-07-16 17:59:36 +0000 UTC4. Is it possible to customize the shape of the head of the Jellyfish?

2024-07-16 08:44:04 +0000 UTC3. Can the snakes move along a given custom surface or a custom volume shape?
Leon Krykhtin
2024-07-16 08:41:33 +0000 UTC2. How to change the spherical attractors to custom interaction for example with hand gestures using let's say the MediaPipe plugin or Kinect?
Leon Krykhtin
2024-07-16 07:53:16 +0000 UTC1. How to get away form the general spherical shape to something more custom that drives the particles on it? Like moving surface or any other custom shape ..

2024-07-16 07:52:05 +0000 UTCGreat work!! I have several questions:
