[ Extra File ] Quick Color Palette

Hey all,

hope you're doing well.
Here's a very handy .tox I created which makes it super easy to quickly set up a color palette. You can simply select the types of colors you wanna output and change some more basic parameters. I think the coolest feature, which I pretty much discovered by accident, is the Sort Values parameter -- it uses the Sort CHOP to sort the channels by their inidvidual values. This creates really nice palettes! Play around with that par set to e.g. 2023-08-22 14:43:02 +0000 UTC View Post

Patreon Meetup later today!

Let's chat at 7pm CEST :)

Feedback & Lens Distort

In this video we're creating a funky feedback system  incorporating the Lens Distort TOP as well as others such as Sharpen and  Transform. We also look at simple ways to make this react to audio, based on the component on my Patreon.

[ Extra File ] Audio In

Hey all,

here's a little .tox making it very easy to playback audio (including a proper search fader / auto cue). Also includes beat detection. Nothing fancy, just a little tool to make things easier and quicker. Used in my latest video.

Thank you,

[ Extra File ] Line Abstractor

Hey all!

Here's a fun little .tox for abstracting an input image with funky lines :) Works best with defined shapes but you can try any texture. Videos work too, but as it's based on SOPs, it can get CPU intensive. If you're interested, I can do a tutorial on the technique as well. 

Enjoy and thank you for all your support❤️

[ Exclusive ] Texture Arrays

In this video we're using the Texture3D TOP to "record" animation frames over time, which creates some really interesting patterns that can be utilized nicely for static images like posters etc.

Learn how to make it audioreactive in this course: https://thenodeinstitute.org/courses/ss23-td-14-advanced-audio-reactivity/

[ Early Access ] Audioreactive Particle Cloud (new)

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we're using the particlesGPU component in combination with CHOPs and @FunctionStore's camSequencer tool to recreate and expand the original technique from the old TD and particlesGPU version.

[ Extra Files ] Starter CHOP

If you're tired of adding the same CHOPs over and over again just to have some basic channels like sine, pulse and noise, here you go!

Simple and clean CHOP starter .tox to drop into your network any time you need some core CHOP functionality quickly.

Cheers,
bileam

June Update & Meetups

Hey all!

Hope you're doing well :) I'm back to Berlin after 1 month of Bali, which was by far the best experience I've had ❤️

So please vote for time&date as usual, time in CEST.

May update

Hey all,

I hope you're doing well :)

I'm finally back to full health which I am very very happy and grateful about! But I'll be taking this month off (no payment from your side), as I'll be traveling to Bali this Saturday till June 1, working in an artist residency. 

Thank you again for supporting me through these very tough last months. I honestly don't know what I would've done without such an amazing community ❤️🙏🏼

Afaik, the TD meetup will happen any...

[ Early Access ] Particle Paths

In this video we're using the particlesGPU component in combination with force, turbulence and color lookups to create an organic structure.

[ Early Access ] Feedback Particles

Hey all,

new video out now! You might recognize this from algorhythm, but it's polished and working a lot better, especially as it's an infinite feedback loop now and does not disintegrate.
Please do not share outside Patreon until it's published. Thank you and enjoy ❤️

[ Extra Files ] Displacer, Designer and more

Hey all,

feeling pretty good today, so here's some lovely files for you! 

1) displacer.tox: Simple and quick displacement of any texture

2) designer.tox: Updated to version 1.1! Actually a very powerful tool I think a lot of Patrons haven't seen yet

3) A .toe with an example of these tools plus some others

Enjoy! ❤️

Updates and Meetups

Hey all!

Hope you're doing well. I'm still struggling with being constantly slightly sick, but at least I can work again! I feel like everyone's having a difficult time atm 🫠

Anyways, let's do another Patreon meetup again, please vote in the poll to find a date this month. All times as usual CET.

Then there'll be the official TD meetup about Ableton & TouchDesigner on March 25, 5pm CET. Sign up here: 2023-03-09 15:16:26 +0000 UTC View Post

[ Early Access ] Dynamic Texture Grids

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we're using TOPs to create a grid system  with which we can remap/displace any input texture in an efficient way.

Please don't share the link until it's public, thanks! Download file below.

Spectrum Shapes

In this TouchDesigner tutorial, we're creating a funky retro audiovisual project by converting the audio spectrum to TOPs and adding a bunch of post processing.

Meetups!

Hey all,

hope you're doing well! ❤️

I'd like to finally organise another Patreon meetup this month. So please, as usual, vote for a date & time that works best for you below, all time CET.

And there's also two official TouchDesigner meetups announced:

1) VSTs in TouchDesigner, February 25, 5pm CET

Halftone

In this TouchDesigner tutorial, we're looking at how to create a halftone / rasterize effect with instancing.

Download files below.

[ Exclusive ] Flow

In this tutorial we're generating a point texture, displace it and use feedback to record the movement as trails, creating the illusion of  particles. We then take the feedback loop further and add some OPs to abstract the outcome.   

Tips: For displace2, also try different Extend options. And for noise4,  you can try turning off Monochrome for extra funky outcomes!

[ Extra File ] Simple Resample & Counter

Hey all!

Here's two little .toxes I created. I noticed both processes (resampling and counting up and down) are too annoying and complex to set up every time when you want to enjoy a smooth and rapid workflow. Hope you like it!

Thanks for your support ❤️

Updates and Poll

Hey all!

First off, a very happy new year to you, I hope you've had some lovely holidays :)

I'd love to share some good news with you, but unfortunately I am still sick. Or rather, again, as I now apparently caught a new virus. I don't know how long this is gonna last. I really want to get back to work, I've got so many ideas to share with you but my body will not allow it. I'm in bed 24/7 again :(

Anyways, I'd like to ask you what y...
