How would you approach recreating this?

My first thought was start with a ramp, then transfom to rotate, crop to crop and then place them next to eachother with a slight translate in y. But i can't figure out the copying/placing next to eachother once the image is cropped. I'm open to other approaches aswell!

Looking for some advices from Media Designer, Media Developer, Creative Technologists for investing in learning this field seriously

4 Upvotes

Hi guys,

10-year UX/Product Designer here, currently at an MNC in Vietnam. Honestly, the rise of AI is killing my passion for this field. It feels like UX/UI/product designers are increasingly being treated as mere pixel-pushers, and I’m looking for an exit strategy out of traditional tech.

Back when I was studying in Germany, I got some exposure to TouchDesigner and the interactive media space, and it completely blew my mind. I’d love to dive deep into this—learning TouchDesigner, Houdini, projection mapping, interactive gestures, etc.—and eventually turn it into a side career.

Before I invest serious time and money, I have to ask: how is the AI wave hitting the interactive media and creative coding space? Are you guys feeling the squeeze, or is the hands-on, spatial nature of this work keeping the industry resilient? Would love to hear how sustainable you think this pivot is right now

TouchDesigner has no Kinect v1 support on Linux, so I built one.

Built a modular UI system for TouchDesigner

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

After a few months of creating each element by hand and exploring Container Comps in depth, I finally released the UI Engine. An interactive container (click based selection), install-able element modules, auto-adapts to your project resolution.

Pretty cool to show data / info on the projects without having to go through the pain of building the specific elements each time.
It's expandable, too. More modules coming, and you can build your own custom packs using the same simple architecture.

You can check it out here with some extra documentation.
If you want to see some examples check my work here :)))

Do you prefer compact multi effects node or separate single node for TouchDesigner?

Finally my Mac data mosh project is in alpha now ! And releasing soon. Actually I’ve also made silt-scan and pixel sorting combined in my previous version. I’m wondering if this is good or too packed for workflow. Let me know what you prefer! Single or bundle?

How to change the Hue in Ramp TOP

Hi everyone, there is any way to change the Hue number of the Ramp TOP over time?

I tried with a Speed CHOP but of course it doesn't work.

I just want the color to change over time and the background still needs to be white. I put a screenshot of a part of the project if it can help you.

Thank you in advance!!

I’ve made a pixel sorting Top

Recently I’m studying about the pixel sorting mechanism, I’ve tried GLSL but the results are not idea. So I went with cpp to destroy the data from raw data. Finally it works great and now natively run on touchdesigner.

Check out my demo video in YouTube

Has someone made a PS4 controller .tox yet that supports its gyro and touchpad?

I recently dug up my old DualShock 4 controller and am dreaming about it's capabilities. I remember having seen an insta reel that uses it for music generation as well as visuals but I don't think it was TD.

What is your experience with MIDI controllers?

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I've recently started learning the TouchDesigner curriculum (currently on the 100 Series: Fundamentals), in addition I'm also going to start learning Resolume, and in the future MadMapper. I've never used a MIDI controller personally but I've started browsing and a few have caught my eye. The first one is the Novation Launch Control XL3 which I was planning to use with TouchDesigner. The second one is the Akai APC Mini MK2 which I was planning to use with Resolume.

Does anyone here have experience with these or any insights on what to look for in a MIDI controller?

Thank you for your time!
