【Gem Seed】Touchdesigner Course

Explore SOP components in touchdesigner by building a basic scene with a box, rendering with a camera and light, and using geometry and transform operators for visual control.

Create a simple 3d generative art from sop operations, using noise and twist on a box, rendering a wireframe with line material, plus rgb delay and feedback.

Explore how instance op in Touch Designer copies a model to create instances, sharing geometry and driving position, scale, and color via translate, scale, and color ops for dynamic scenes.

Master instance-based particle rendering with UV-mapped noise point clouds and color mapping, then implement keyboard and mouse interaction to control motion and visuals.

Explore interactive audio-visual effects in TouchDesigner by linking audio analysis to particle motion, noise, and ramp-based visuals, creating responsive, depth-filled visuals.

Transform a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional point cloud by instancing rgb-colored points from uv maps, mapping image pixels to three-dimensional positions, and enabling mouse interaction for dynamic cloth-like effects.

Capture body motion with a webcam to drive a three-dimensional point-cloud relief using instance mapping and uv coordinates, then refine the result with scale, blur, and side lighting.

Convert a three-dimensional model into a point cloud in touchdesigner, render it as a particle image, and adjust color, size, and animation while switching between models for diverse visuals.

Transform a 3d model into a point cloud, apply ripple wave effects, and animate selected points with thresholding, lfo, and color adjustments in TouchDesigner.

Explore advanced point cloud effects by applying thresholding to RGB channels, adding noise with feedback loops, and using displacement and luma blur to sculpt three-dimensional forms.

Model petals in TouchDesigner to bloom a lotus from a 20×20 grid, using group and bounds; then distribute petals around a circle with point cloud instance and magnet refinement.

Convert a 3D model into data, then into an RGB point cloud, and use rotate-to and noise controls to animate flowering petals, with a lotus-inspired render and final compositing.

Learn to generate particles with the particle sop from a model, and add randomness with point sort. Explore collision, force, and surface attractors to shape interactive effects with leap motion.

Master particle emission with particle SOP, control emission by sorting and directions, and attract particles to a surface using surface attractor, with mouse interaction and velocity-based color.

Explore camera-based area recognition and interactive effects in touch designer, building a magic flame ball triggered by left and right hand regions and mapped data.

Identify space areas with an ordinary RGB camera to trigger lotus bloom and flame effects via a progress bar and Trigger CHOP timing.

Learn how to install Leap Motion with TouchDesigner, load drivers, and use palm position, rotation, and grab data to drive gesture-based interactions with objects like a ball or cube.

Explore three-dimensional hand tracking with leapmotion in touchdesigner, mapping hand joints to a point-cloud model, triggering in 3D space, and creating explosive interactions synced to audio.

Learn how to install and use Kinect in TouchDesigner, using the player index to extract a live portrait and convert it into a 3D line model with color.

Explore body-driven particle interactions in TouchDesigner by converting Kinect depth into a body point cloud for somatosensory interaction and emitting particles with Particle GPU, including color, forces, and trailing effects.

Learn advanced Kinect-based interaction in TouchDesigner by building dual 3D sculptures with point cloud rendering, region recognition, and gesture-driven control of models, text, and effects.

Build an infinite mosaic filter in TouchDesigner that renders a person from words via uv-mapped textures and a point cloud, with mediapipe gesture interaction.

Transform a portrait into a three-dimensional wireframe using MediaPipe gestures and facial interactions, enabling hand and mouth driven distortions and interactive background removal.

Learn to create a realistic flame man with NV Flow Emitter and AR effects, using face and hand tracking via MediaPipe, color ramps, and interactive flame control.

Create a 3d point cloud laser scanning dissipation effect in TouchDesigner, mapping color to points, converting to lines, and enabling interactive control via keyboard and hand tracking.

Explore real-time 3d body stylization in touchdesigner using kinect data to map body joints to a point cloud of colored spheres, with random size, color, motion, lighting, and pbr materials.

Learn to create 3d trailing particles with TouchDesigner’s pop operator, control per-particle attributes for dynamic trails, and trigger emission using mediapipe smile detection.
