Another Update Post (and meetup poll)

Hey all!

Here I am finally making a post again. I'm so much better after taking this long time off and truly resting as well as travelling to Canada and through the beautiful autumn nature there.

I will still take it easy for now but I'd love to have at least one Patreon meetup before the end of the year and we'll probably do a Musichackspace one as well. I'm also talking to them and Derivative to make the meetups more proper and regular again.

Also hoping to release one or...

Your input: What should I focus on?

Hey all!

I'm doing well again, finally, and I'm all about getting back into this fully. I have started working on * drumroll * AVY! Which is gonna be the new algorhythm (software for audiovisual live performances) :)

Generally, though, I'd like to get some input from your side as to what I should focus on now. Please let me know in the poll and/or in the comments, can be any feedback at all.

Thank you ❤️

P.S. I'm gonna record the next Podcas...

Descending Feedback

In this TouchDeisgner tutorial we dive into a feedback technique I haven't shared yet, looking at some essential TOPs like Transform, Ramp and Pointillize to really shape the texture we're working with. We also look into making this visual audioreactive by converting the audio spectrum and using it as an input.

Quick Update

Hey all!

Hope you're doing well :)

I just wanted to let you know, I'm still in Bali till the end of the month and I won't be able to create tutorials etc. from here, as we've been working hard on a dome show and now on workshops. But there's a lot of stuff I'd like to share afterwards, so I'll be fully back in April with new energy!

Also I'm hoping to record the second edition of my Touch The Designer podcast with the wonderful artists I'm here with. If you haven't ...

Poster Design (+ designer.tox 2.1)

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we're using my designer.tox (download below) to create four different poster designs. 

The designer.tox is a custom component for simple and quick layouting, working with text,  images and logos, as well as different resolutions, grids and scaling.

Happy new year and a treat!

Hey all!

I hope you've transitioned well into '24 :) 

I'm still healthy and I'm getting back to work now! ✨
As of this month, I'm starting the new podcast project, beginning with the amazing y = f(x) lab guys Roy and Tim Gerritsen! I'd like to include viewer questions (it's not gonna be live), so if there's anything you'd like to ask them, please just write it here in the comments and I'll try to include it...

Thank you ❤️

Hey all,

I hope you're doing well.
I would like to thank you for supporting me through this very difficult year, I am deeply grateful for this beautiful community!

I'm doing much better and I'm currently in the process of moving into a new, my very own, apartment in Berlin.

Looks like I'll be back to work fully in January, finally!!

Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year :)

Much love and all the best

Finally some good news!

Hey all,

I hope you are doing well!

I can finally say I am doing better 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I've been more stable now for almost a week and I'm getting a bit better every day. This means I am (very slowly) coming back to work, to TouchDesigner and to this wonderful community. I will really take it slow though, as I still do not fully trust this state and my body, but I will, step by step and bit by bit, return to work and art. I cannot promise that it doesn't come back either, Long C...

Update

Hey all,

I hope you are doing well!

I wish I could write something positive, but I can't truly say I'm doing better. There are some days when it's better, but I still cannot work, I can often barely get out of the house. (For those who don't know, I've got Post Covid). I really want to and I sincerely hope to be able to get back to work soon, but I simply don't know. I'm literally trying everything -- diets, fasting, supplements etc. etc.

I am deeply grateful for your co...

[ Exclusive ] designer.tox 2.0 and Poster Examples

Hey all,

I updated the designer.tox to 2.0 and I think it's a very intuitive and powerful tool now. I've added a few poster examples below.

I originally wanted to make a video of those but I haven't been able to. I might do that in a month or so.

All the best and thank you for your support ❤️

Updates and Poll -- August / September

Hey all!

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to make this post to update you and to get some feedback, as I'm thinking of restructuring my Patreon a bit.

First off, I will record a video on poster design and share a very exciting update of the designer.tox this week!

And then about my health situation: I'm still struggling with changing symptoms like headaches, fatigue etc., so I cannot work ...
