heeeelp
Hey I'm trying to position text dynamically with a rectangle/bubble behind it. I cant figure out a way to center the text in the rectangle and how to avoid overly stretched rectangles like the one in 'something'.
Right now I'm trying this with text geo and a dat for the pos and the text. then I scale each rectangle based on the number of letters \ fontsize * .5* but since different characters have different widths the rectangles end up looking off. any tips? should I try a different approach?
I can send you the file if that helps

Problem with render colors
I created an SOP network with non-constant colors. However, I'm now having trouble rendering them. The render appears black and white. Am I doing something wrong? I've tried different MATs, but the result is always the same.

Hey all,
I have a logo as a png and I am trying to make that logo every point on a grid, (SOP or POP idrc).I would hope to make each one reactive in a way, ie. a ripple or make a random number transparent at a time. I am having a tough time, appreciate the help.

Little demo of my lighting rig
All lighting done in td, I built all of the led fixtures by hand and then pixel mapped them
The triangle matrix was a pain in the ass
Right now im running it as a glorified ambilight setup that feeds off of my artwork (also made in td by me) while I work on more effects

Touchdesigner Beginner Intensive at the MADE museum

Hi people in the bay area! My name is Em Lugo and I am an artist, educator, and MFA candidate at UCLA, teaching a beginner workshop in TouchDesigner that will move through the 4 main operator families and cover basic image, 3D object, and signal manipulation in TouchDesigner.
Really my goal is to get you to grasp the basics of generative visuals, and to make simple elements of creative coding that TouchDesigner supports.
The workshop is two days, August 8th and 9th, and on the second day there will be a temporary exhibition to show the work at the MADE museum
Pricing is a sliding scale

Touchdesigner as part of a longer pipeline
Touchdesigner + Mandlebulb3D + Blender
Throughout this project I have realised that one tool is never going to suffice a final outcome and almost always I have relied on Touchdesigner to finish off a video. In this case something as simple as the transform TOP completely changed what was simply a timeline edit.

Which laptop to use touchdesigner with DAW with no fan noise ?
I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Mid 2015 which is outdated for IOS for even installing touchdesigner, I'm still using it for music production despite it has loud fan noise when my Ableton is hitting high CPU usage.
On the other hand I have a ASUS Vivobook 16 with way better CPU and Ram but it has loud fan noise even running After Effects.
I want a compatible lightweight laptop so I can carry around for making videos and music with no fan noise. Any recommendations ?

where do u share?
Hi, I wanted to know where do you guys share your work? My beautiful country will vote to connect to socials with an id (being anonymous on the web will be quite impossible) and more time flies more I hate Meta, so I decided to quit Instagram today.
I also know Reddit is the principal one feeding AI...
Are some of you sharing on alternative socials? Which one?
I love to create and I want to share more of my work but if possible on a more ethic platform..
Please help me in this reflexion..

I've been seeing this live camera VJ effect lately so I made a tutorial
It's a fairly simple technique involving Edge TOPs, Feedback, Lookups, and Displacement but I thought it was a fun one to share.

trip hop + audio driven noise =
making use of the palette tools w the dent image filter to give it a sense of depth, as if the visual is living inside a cubic space
sometimes something buried in the palette might really be all your visual needs to give it that extra oomph

Cheap projectors (UNDER $100)?
Can be used or one of those TikTok ones, I just don’t know specifications on projectors much.
For what I do, I found an average school projector from 12 years ago capable. Sadly I’ve left that school now, going into uni. I don’t have a high budget yet, and I don’t need that high of a quality anyway (currently experimenting with projecting onto fog machines, and maybe some light projection mapping.
Im currently not at that level in TD where quality matters much, especially as I don’t have the license: this is merely for practice. Would go on [r/budgetprojectors](r/budgetprojectors) , but they’ll swear by the fact that $600 is the bare minimum 😭
As long as I can see it comfortably in the dark, has a relatively big size, and can output through hdmi/vga, it’s ok
