whoever gets stuck in this tutorial: the life component has changed a little from the one we build in the custom interactive 3d particle system tutorial. check the particle flowfields tutorial at 6:10 for the updates. this should fix both the particles being black and also fading away after a few seconds. as others have pointed out as well: make sure to have add points in the add sop on.
Am at the 1st render stage (4:38) and can add back ground but then I add the Pos to the translate POS in the Geo and then add R to Translate x, G to Translate Y and b to Translate Z nothing happens its just black? Can't get the tube to show? Any help app[reciated
cool thing about shading is that it translates universally across all sorts of plattforms, even though in some particular plattforms things will look better then in others
This may not be a particularly relevant question, but I was playing around with this and tried to adjust the lifetime parameter of the life comp. I found that when I adjusted this value, additional particles would appear in batches with a short delay, instead of the essentially continuous manner. Do you have any clues as to why that might happen?
This dosent work, my particles are dissapearing after like 4 seconds, i followed the life component tutorial but its not working like yours, also whats the input for if we are using 2 contents ?
@@santiagoespinoza5265 got same problem, try to set "life" setting to something near 7 or less if "multiply" of math1 inside the life component is set to 1, they are somehow connected, the bigger number in multiply of math1 inside life - the bigger number of life setting needs to make particles disappear or something like that
Hi! Great Tutorial! Although, i don't get a tube after using 'pos' as Translate OP and setting the Translate axis as shown in the video... any idea? Thanks
Yes-ish, if you use import to OBJ to TD - sprinkle SOP (the amt of particles you want, maybe 720**2) - sop to chop - chop top top. You can get the OBJ as a point cloud. And use the same system. But the spherical shape (normalization step) won’t really work.
Couldnt get the correct result again. Can it be cause of my version of the TD? Its 2023.11600. My sphere is starts like yours but its all vanishing except a line of ellipse after seconds. Also i cant give colors as well. When i put colors to the geo node, its become completely black. Got only white without any "shadowlike" faded results. What do you think about it?
I'm having a similar problem, but i get the sphere effect with one "very defined" ellipse. Just one line going around the sphere, the rest looks amazing. If someone has the answer to this please help!
thanks for great tutorial! I just wonder if I can't find 'derivative(slope)' in noise1 componant, would there be any other way to make it look similar?
Hey! The Life COMP you're using in this tutorial has two outputs, but the one you created in the original tutorial only has one. Do we need to add anything to make this work correctly?
Yeah, I was about to write exactly the same thing. I was surprised that there are two outputs and it didn't work. It would be good to say at the beginning that the project will not work without paid content from Patreon..
@kasiapieciukonis7763 it does work perfectly fine without it And as I said in the tutorial, I show you how to make the second output it in the “flow fields” tutorial. For free.
it does work here without any issues. If you want the seconds output, the life-gradient (which just applies to the color of the particles) you can either find it on my patreon, or learn how to make it in the Flow Field tutorial. I try to mot gatekeep these things.
is someone else stuck in the part at 06:00 mine looks very messy, is that something that has to do with math? is not as clean as the animation of your tutorial. Please help thank you!
Excuse me. i import life, but the custom bar is not visible. Pleas understand if the words are strange. I am a Korean. I wants to learn touch designer.
ua-cam.com/video/ba9Mib2Foh4/v-deo.html Keep in mind that the output in the life-fade here is monochrome, so you might want to change it to 32 bit float rgba. or you'll find it on my patreon
I tell you in the tutorial, it is in the video description. It’s a custom component. You can build it by following my tutorial, or you can find it on my Patreon.
Hello Guys, I'm stuck after the add of the life. When I connect to Nois+math to the add and the End, the tube stay static!!! no point moving I did it 5 times and follow the build a the new life and the other in the Flow Fields (where it work perfectly) Some had the same issues?
I'm getting an error on the life component "error: (parameter: reset) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable (/project1/life) How do I fix this? When I open the explodingStar.1 tox the life component seems to be working just fine
HHmmm for some reason when I connect life - multiply - over, I only see particles moving at the top and bottom of the tube. The tube maintains its shape and particles don't disperse completely like it does in the video. Anyone know why??
I've been trying to follow this tutorial, but using an animated FBX as my initial SOP. I was wondering if you had any heads up on how to do this whilst retaining the animation from the FBX? Once the feedback loop is added, it takes just one frame of the animation as a "snapshot" to apply the noise (etc) to. Is it not possible in TouchDesigner to apply feedback to an FBX model whilst retaining the animated movement?
@@アストーム i wasn’t too clear about this in the video, but if you are using the old life component, remember to add a multiply TOP, and plug in the output from the life comp and the “start” null. Before putting it into the over top.
Awesome tutorial, thanks! One question, when I'm changing the RGB values in the level TOP to add color, nothing is happening for me, no color is added. Could this be that I'm on version 2023.13340? Or did I forgot something?
Hello If you use the old life comp, You need to add a multiply top after the life component and multiply the output with the same node you use as input before the life comp. Before the over top. I wasn’t too clear about this, and thought it was clear, but it obviously wasn’t. sorry.
Something wrong happend when i tried to make it into a sephere by changing the operation of composite to "devide"🥲the screen turned empty,but other modes still works.Could u plz tell me the solution? Thanks
@@supermarketsallad Hello, after building your new life component, I saved the base file in tox. format. However, when I dragged it into this tutorial, it displayed an unavailable red "X", which is not as smooth as in your video. Can you guess roughly what the reason is (I also tried the old "life", but it still doesn't work)? Should I delete some things from the base of the life component
Hello! It doesn’t loop. Making things loop in touchdesigner is pretty tricky. But there are some great tutorials for example “looping noise” by polyhop
@@DaniiMarvelous if you are using the old life component, make sure that (Before the over TOP) add a multiply TOP and multiply the output of the life comp with the same node you are plugging in to the life comp. And then put that multiply into the first input of the over TOP I wasn’t clear about this in the video, sorry
Using your life 2.0 component, the noise looks like the video when i have the monochrome off but when i turn it on, and i turn on derivative slope, the noise changes into just like lines with some particles moving, a lot less than in the video. I made sure I changed the noise to Perlin 3D and retraced my steps a bunch. Not sure where Im going wrong. I think it may be because Im on the latest 2023.11600 build because my parameters are lined up with yours
Hmm.. I’m not sure.. The sloped noise is pretty, but sometimes a little difficult to work with. Maybe try attenuating the noise - lowering the amplitude
🤩amazing works ! Feels literally like magic! 🥲But when I insert the new life component, my particles first spread out (very beautiful at this time) and then disappear after a few seconds, instead of staying in a certain shape like in the tutorial. What can I do to solve this problem? p.s. I made sure I used the composition Start(null)-lifecomp-multiply(with start-null in second input-over TOP(first input)).
