Have you wanted to make complex particle systems but are too scared to get into GLSL programming? This TouchDesigner tutorial explains how to build these systems using all TOPs. Using this method, you can switch out the flow field with any black-and-white source you might come up with.
Topics covered in this tutorial:
RGB math with TOPs
Threshold resets
Rack Focus luma blur effect
Slope TOP
Want to create fluid effects without code in TouchDesigner? In this video I show how I use optical flow feedback for quickly creating fluid like effects. I also include how you can add interactive mouse or multi-touch input.
Great for beginners or intermediate designers looking to create fun interactive content.
I've been seeing this effect a lot lately and thought I'd figure out how its done and share it. This tutorial covers lots of other fun little techniques using a Cache TOP and Difference TOP to make a cheap motion detection TOP. If there's an effect out there that you'd like to learn. Send it my way.
