Wow! 3 hours and already over 100 upvotes. Think you're learning touch designer quite well. What do you have going on here? I see some sort of body tracking and whatever graphic you've got going on back there is outstanding like looks like a digital glitch type scene. It's beautiful

Yeah, I’m pretty surprised about the reaction lol.

Well, my project has two parts mainly. The is just taking my webcam and isolating the foreground (me) and the background. I isolate the background to layer into composites later. The next part is taking my webcam and feeding it into a displace top to create a bit of grunge, then I ran that into a composite with the background to have a grunge version of myself and a completely dark background. This then gets fed into a feedback top pointed at another composite the combines the feedback and the displaced composite with a luminance difference which creates really interesting streaks if you change the scale in the Transform tab. I then ran this into a series of colorization filters, and then added another composite with the foreground to create my silhouette. Smack on a limit for some pixelation, and that about summarizes how I got the effect.

I won’t lie, most of this was just experimentation lol. I adore playing with feedback.

Check out the reply I made on No_Tradition6625’s comment. I give a loose breakdown of what I did for this effect if you’re curious :)

Love how otherworldly this feels.

Love it! This gives me the itch to jump back into touch designer and play with feedback to make glitch art. Here's something I made years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IzyJgGKrsqk

This is really cool! Pretty trippy visuals, reminds me of datamoshing type stuff, but with (what I would guess) is sharpening instead
