Blob Tracker Plus Tutorial
Added 2025-02-28 12:05:00 +0000 UTCI’ve created a new tool exclusively for my Patreon supporters, bringing all those cool Blob Tracking effects to every version of TouchDesigner.
Features:
• Unlimited Blobs: No restrictions on the number of blobs you can track.
• Custom Thresholding Tools: Fine-tune the blob detection to suit your needs.
• Easy Resolution Selection: Quickly adjust the resolution for your projects.
• Simple ID Annotation: Effortlessly label and track individual blobs.
• Ample Data Outputs: Build your own custom effects with rich data streams.

I'm adding fills into a update for this THIS WEEK! That will make it much easier to composite together the outputs. I might even go ahead and add an invert composite option as well since it is a common output.

2025-06-09 15:52:44 +0000 UTCsay i wanted to invert the colour inside each blob box... would i have to write code? or could i process your box TOP output in some way that the colours inside become inverted. I managed to make the outlines inverted... maybe if the TOP output was a full square rather than just an outline... hmmmm.. any tips please im only 1 day into touchdesigner

2025-06-07 00:01:18 +0000 UTCHey Dean! Just a heads up, was getting a plethora of errors from the .tow file when using TD 2022 - downloaded the free version of TD 2023 and it all worked smoothly though. Can upload the error messages from 2022 if you're interested. Cheers <3

2025-05-27 21:46:27 +0000 UTCIf you're using a windows machine it might be as simple as rendering directly to mp4 in the moviefileout. Sorry to hear about your crashes! I haven't had the same problem when exporting, but if you're getting crashes when following my tutorial above i'm not sure what else might make it not crash!

2025-04-15 07:55:44 +0000 UTCIs there a way to remove the "jitter" from the chopto lines?

2025-04-11 01:39:23 +0000 UTCYou're doing the compression after the fact with media encoder or quicktime? Or you're changing the movieouttop to .mp4 and having an issue? If its the latter maybe you need to make sure you have your file extension in the name?

2025-04-07 22:33:57 +0000 UTChaving so much trouble exporting, exports to .mov file but when I compress it to .mp4 its still a touch designer asset.

2025-04-07 20:57:11 +0000 UTCFor sure. Just have audio into an audio analysis or similar chip. Have that drive whatever parameter you’d want.

2025-04-06 06:17:26 +0000 UTCIs there a way to map this tool to be audio reactive as well? Like as audio levels increase the threshold amount also increases or decreases?
