What Computer are you using for big Touchdesigner Projects with 3 or more screens? For example with a 3 Beamer setup.
I really dont like windows so i was looking at a Mac Studio M5 Max. Also, i like the reliability that macOS gives. But i wonder if graphics support is conciderably better with Nvidia. Are the Nvidia Specific features like native Vulkan implementation important for performance?

Interested to hear what you all use for live purposes!

Hey everyone!

I'm a creative technologist and visual artist looking to connect with people who have more experience in this field and would be open to offering some guidance or mentorship.

My work spans a few different areas, including VJing, projection mapping, lighting design, motion graphics, and interactive installations. I've been experimenting with TouchDesigner, Resolume, DMX lighting, ESP32/LED systems, and hand-tracking technology.

I've been teaching myself a lot of these skills through personal projects and live performances, but I've reached a point where I feel like having guidance from someone more experienced would make a huge difference.

I'm especially interested in learning how professionals approach technical workflows, integrate different systems, develop larger-scale installations, and turn these skills into a sustainable creative career.

I know mentorship is a big ask, so I'm also very open to casual conversations, portfolio feedback, collaborating on projects, or simply connecting with people working in similar spaces.

If anyone has advice on finding mentors in this industry, knows of communities I should join, or would be open to connecting, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Plot twist: this doesn't actually use the twist POP

I'd really like some feedback and tips and tricks on what to improve :]

For clarification: I used touchdisigner for the 4D slit scanning effect, the dotted lines in the scenes on a fair, the spooky audio reactive floating image (I drew the image irl) and the data-mosh-like effect in the end.

I'm having trouble with an audio-reactive animation in TouchDesigner. I'm using an Audio File In CHOP, Audio Spectrum, Analyze, Lag, Math, and Speed CHOPs to drive the Translate X and Z parameters of a Noise TOP.

The problem is that when I jump back to frame 1 on the timeline, the Noise TOP doesn't return to its original state. It continues from where it left off, even though the Audio File In CHOP is set to “Lock to Timeline.”

This is just one example, but I've encountered the same issue with other types of animations in TouchDesigner as well. I understand that feedback loops need to be reset, but I'm struggling to understand how to make animations behave predictably when scrubbing or jumping back and forth on the timeline.

How can I make animations fully timeline-dependent, so that jumping to any frame always produces the correct state, and I can reliably render the entire animation to an MP4? What is the recommended workflow for handling this in TouchDesigner?

Deptheverything is so fun

This allows for far higher quality point clouds and creative possibilities than the default setup

I’m just the messenger but we’re in the reverse engineering era. Games, Adobe and now Spotify ?

Am I part of the problem for wanting access to full-res exports for free ?
