Thanks ! Cheers

for sure! Dm me on insta if you'd like to book a time

CHOP, You only need to change the parameter in the select to “hand_tx” instead of what I wrote

Yes hand tracking is limited to Mediapipe. So you can use your kinect as a simple camera, but a webcam would do the job.

Just ask me if you have any question ! :)

To my knowledge the sdk only works on pc But you can use MediaPipe and webcam instead

So Madmapper has the ability to run a node with the xbox kinect running within their program even on a mac so that is about the only reliable and stable way i have found to use the kinect on a mac but it works great as long as what your doing is inside madmapper or what you want to work in will process an NDI video of the kinect feed out of madmapper

Sure ! Before the end null you can insert a lookup, and plug your color in the second input of the lookup

@@outsandatv thank you for the response, it works!

I think that might be the second hand you see packed in one corner, maybe try reduce to 1 hand detection if that’s all you need, in the Mediapipe -> HandTracking paramaters ( number of detected hands )

For the particles SOP you can Increase the turbulence for less straight particle spawns, but you might want to consider a particles GPU approach or TOP, GLSL to have more control over the birth points. I will release a tutorial for making this with TOPs only.

Do you want it in 2d or 3d ?

@@outsandatv Hi! Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I am trying to make the particles being born around the hands or perhaps the body?

@@k4nuto hey man, I will look into it ! we need to use particles GPU instead of particles SOP for better performance

Yes sure

Hello, same here I study arts and design, to achieve this you can use Mediapipe, I will do a quick tutorial to show you how.

@@outsandatv Thank you so much!

Love the idea. Will work on it.

I have worked with basic gestures so far like X,Y,Z but there are infinite ways to associate motion patterns with specific commands, what did you mean by motion graphics ?

I want to replace it with another coordinate data

@@VeraArt-wt4nl I don't understand your problem could you explain in more details please ?

MouseIn CHOP to get all mouse data - Mediapipe to get webcam data - Kinect to get depth data

If you mean the Mediapipe cursor by "mouse" we can use other Pose data like elbows or foot tip, so you can skip the modification of the model and use the data directly from Mediapipe - Pose Tracking - Select the body part you want. And create as many math as you have coordinates ( X, Y, Z ) to change the data to something you need.

@@outsandatv i used rename op to rename mediapipe data to tx ty so i can replace my projects with mouseIn op thank you.

Sure, message me on insta if you want me to show you @outsanda

Just drop your picture in the project and add a Transform and use the position reference of the circle in the Transform and plug it instead of the circle.

You need to : 1 - go to this github page github.com/leadedge/SpoutCam/releases 2 - install and extract the zip on your pc 3 - execute "SpoutCamSettings.exe" 4 - set frame rate of your video 5 - set resolution 6 - name it "TDSyphonSpoutOut2" and register 7 - reopen your saved project with MediaPipe, and select SpoutCam instead of your webcam.

It’s right on the main Mediapipe paramater page, where you select your camera device and stuff.

The multiply parameter, turn them down to 1 for each math and it'll be perfect.

@@outsandatv Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

@@bobbyhuang5520 at your disposal !

heylooo am having trouble connecting the hand tracking to activate the particles without a kinect. i dont understand the patreon link:/ can u write a more step to step i would appreciate so much

@@clairecahill7214 you need to install Mediapipe for using this project without a kinect, here is the link and the instructions you will find : 1- In GitHub download latest release github.com/torinmb/mediapipe-touchdesigner 2 - drop MediaPipe.tox into project ( and flip horizontal ) 3 - drop Pose tracking next to it, connect mediapipe to it ( pose ) 4 - drag Top can you dm me on insta ? outsanda, so you can show me your problem

Sure ! to replace the kinect hand x, y by the mediapipe x, y you jeed to : - add mediapipe to the particle project - add the hand or pose tracking component - use the normalized data from it ( so as I show in this video, place a null then a select CHOP after the component where it says “normalized data” and in the select choose “wrist_x” and “wrist_y”, then drag and drop it to the transform x, y of the metaball SOP. So basically follow both tutorials and when i reference the positions, use mediapipe instead of a kinect. I will upload the project on my patreon now that you are saying it would benefit mac users. I appreciate your feedback in that regard !

@@outsandatv Oh yes, I previously subscribed to your Patreon. Different name though. One last question how do you address the distance and angles when you may be like 10 meters away with a 2K web camera. Is there anyway to have mediapipe still recognize my body and movements?

@@robertjohnson4051 If the detection is sloppy you can zoom into the picture by changing the scale in a transform TOP, if you're standing in a specific part of the image. If the subject is moving from left to right let's say, at a far distance, you could use the subject spine position X, Y to always have yourself upscaled in the center.

@@outsandatv thanks for your awesome help. You saved my show! On a separate note, If I were you, I would start charging a small fee for your Patreon. And uploading projects that you do online and making them accessible to people like me. I like learning from the tutorials, however at this time I’m pressed because my show is starting very soon and to buy projects and slightly adjust them would be wonderful for beginners like me. Just putting that out there and hoping for your success. I’m one of your patrons!

Oh thank you for clarifying these elements Torin, I should indeed have mentioned it is possible to get the data out of the box. And thank you for explaining my path issue that I'll be sure to make notice for my next tut. Best

You know the best way to learn is to practise first, then use your creativity with the knowledge you acquire. I watched a video about render picking, this technique Bileam Tchepe @elektronaut uses in his "drum kick" tutorial. I had the idea to use this technique for people detection, so I buildt a grid where i crop small areas of the video. The most enjoyfull part in this project was to get the approximate position in X and Y axis.

That's a great idea of a project, do you need a text to voice AI ? I will look into it, but for now I think you have to pay to use an API key

Is it occuring from the moment you load your component ?

worked it out, accidentally had the index finger selected lol. thanks for reply tho :) @@outsandatv

You should be able to remake it yourself in less then 5 minutes, could you describe your problem ?

I will publish it on my patreon for you

I want to blend the kinect image and particles together, but the kinect background will disappear.@@outsandatv

@@outsandatv super thanks

No clue, I have to try it out. Thanks for the idea :)

@@outsandatv Thanks, I've tried everything since then and Mediapipe recognized me even when the camera was physically upside down or tilted 90 degrees, so I solved the problem by setting the parameter to be used to Negate the Channel pre op of MathCHOP in SelectCHOP! :)

I wonder how you achieved this because Mediapipe works directly with the video device. But I would imagine it's possbile with Spout using a fit and transform to control the rotation of the camera. @@user-lx8if5xy9r

You need to drop the geometry COMP from the output of the particle SOP. Just press tab after dragging the node connection out. Hope that helped !

@@outsandatv Thanks! That worked!

Yes on my last tutorial i show you how to get the x y from a finger using a webcam.

@@outsandatv Can I use just video input? Not a videocamera?

@bbrother92 Yes, to detect hand data from a video 1 _ install OBS Studio, install Mediapipe and drag into blank touchdesigner project. 2 _ place video in OBS, resize, delete all other entries, set it to loop in the settings and finally press "Start virtual camera" 3 _ Back in touchdesigner drag Mediapipe pose tracking ( for example ) and connect it 4 _ in main Mediapipe, in webcam selection menu, choose OBS Virtual Camera 5 _ create a select CHOP from pose tracking, and select "left_wrist:x" "left_wrist:y"

You’re right, that was my thinking but I can’t really say if it makes it more efficient. Selecting the data directly is totally possible without having to change the component. I should have been more clear on that.

Yes you just need to drag and drop your footage in the program, then connect a level TOP to adjust the opacity and connect it to the comp top at the end

I have try it out myself to be honest with you, but you can get the point near 0 and move in the right directions by changing the operation to negate and increasing or decreasing the post-add. But i will try and tell you the solution

My guess is for x : negate and for y : dont negate

@@outsandatv i will try it!!! I’m almost there!!! I’ve spent the last 4 days making tutorials and yours are the best!!

If you want your data to decrease instead of increase we use a math to inverse everything and set it back to the same value. Like i showed, change the math /channel pre OP/ to negate and in the second window increase the /post-add/ to the value you need.

Or probably if you followed the tutorial you just need to remove the “Negate” and it should work

@@outsandatv this helped!!!! I am now able to move it on the X how it supposed to be looking at the projection in front of it. Do you know how to change the value of y using a math? Thank you for your help!!!!

@@yomi0ne for y you probably wont need to negate. Maybe post add a bit.

@@outsandatv i appreciate your help!!! I’m currently doing the particles tutorial now. I need to play with the add as you say because the particles are on the upper corner of the screen and not centered. Thank you for taking the time to respond and to show us this tutorials

Absolutely, using Mediapipe, see my latest short. tutorial coming soon

Hi ! feel free to share a link to your project so i can take a look at what might have gone wrong. Otherwise you might have missed something. Make sure the transform SOP is correct.

I'm gonna publish the working version on my patreon soon.

@@outsandatv thanks for the quick response! i actually solved that issue but please help me with another problem at 4:35 when you drag the null CHOP values to metaball SOP what option did you select? it says Export chop, chop reference, current chop value. if i do export CHOP the values just remain 0

Choose reference, but export also works

@@outsandatv Thank you so much for help!! everything works great now😊
