Hope you guys liked the video, I enjoyed getting stuck into touchdesigner. Just wanted to comment to say that if you like what I do, consider "buying me a coffee" / tipping me via my Kofi page (I could really use the extra £s right now): ko-fi.com/ph4sespace Also here's my instagram if you want to follow! instagram.com/ph4se.space
Felt the same when moving on from Processing to TouchDesigner. It's faster to iterate, faster to get to the end result, as the operators abstract a lot of code. The visual environment also helps to see how the data is flowing, which is great. Would love to see some in-depth tutorials from what you've learned!
Thankyou for this! it's a great way to demonstrate these designs and i'd love to see more examples! Just in case it helps, I ran into a little hitch at 4:10 with the background colour not appearing in the transform - I had to manually set the background alpha channel to 1 to make it visible. Thanks again for this video!
Great analysis, thank you! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
What an amazing tutorial! I'm just getting started with TD so this is really helpful, thank you!🥰 I have a question about the last part, when I add the geometry node - I can't connect it to the transform node. It pops up with a donut shape, which I've tried removing "inside it" by double clicking. But then it doesn't connect to the render node and nothing happens at all🤨 not sure what I'm doing wrong!
Hello ^^ Thank you for this video, really insightful, your designs are also so cool, I really like the second to the last one 😍 I have a question tho, would you say with this software, it's easier for beginners to get into generative art even without coding knowledge? I taught myself how to use Photoshop and Illustrator and tbh I don't know if I have the energy and mental capacity to learn a new program on top of learning a different way to create art. Also, I suck at Math TT_TT Thank youuu :)
Touchdesigner is quite different to coding, it's a different way of thinking about and structuring things. I think it would probably be easier to learn from scratch than coding but harder than photoshop/illustrator. But it will definitely feel worth it to learn touchdesigner because there are so many more possibilities. And there's no need to use touchdesigner on its own, I've touched up some images from touchdesigner using photopea (free photoshop clone) before. My advice is to start with simple tutorials and mess around with what you make so you actually figure out what each operator is doing rather than just blindly following along with no real understanding (which I've definitely done sometimes haha). And come up with simple ideas that you want to replicate in touchdesigner, for example, maybe a circle that moves up and down randomly or something. By figuring out how to do simple stuff like that without a tutorial it will really make the concepts sink in and eventually it will feel natural. Also, there are certain things that I still don't fully understand in some touchdesigner tutorials I watch, but that's okay, you will certainly build up enough knowledge to get by and make a wide range of things even if you don't fully understand everything
Also don't worry too much about math, so far I've just used basic stuff like multiplying or adding a number. I think there are certainly cases where knowing complicated maths would help you achieve specific effects which I've seen in some tutorials, but for most things it's not necessary to have a deep understanding. I've gotten pretty far by just going "hm I wonder what happens if I choose this option or plug this thing into this thing" which I think is a perfectly valid strategy, even for someone like me who has a degree in maths lol
@@ph4sespace Wow! Thank you so much for the detailed response. It reminded me of the days of me learning specific photo effects in Photoshop and everything you said made sense. Who do you think are the best persons to follow for both beginner and advanced tutorials? I have a slight problem with the right keywords to search because I don't know much about generative art yet, looking it up alone brings up AI art involving writing prompts instead like midjourney and dall-e. Again, thank you so much for the help ^^
Start by just searching "touchdesigner tutorial" on youtube and a couple of beginner tutorials will come up. I believe I watched this one ua-cam.com/video/wmM1lCWtn6o/v-deo.html first but I didn't follow it all the way through, I watched a bit and then experimented on my own, and then probably went back to refer to it a few times when I got stuck. There are probably other good beginner tutorials out there as well. After that you will probably get recommended various tutorials like ones from elekktronaut and paketa12. I just clicked on any that I thought looked cool and went from there :)
Very interesting! I wonder how to get close result like Refik Anadol studio works with the point cloud wavy and colorful, do you have any idea about it ? I tried directly with unreal engine but feel like Touch Designer is the tool that can handle it better, what do you think ?
Can someone get around knowing how to code by asking ChatGPT? or are there more complicated processes that require knowing how to code? Basically, can I solve most problem that I would run into with ChatGPT?
at 6:07 you can see the code references to the topto operator in the Edge Color parameters. This will connect the two operators. At least I think that is what you're asking ?
I've only used Max for Live which is for creating virtual musical instruments and stuff. I've not tried using it for creating visual art so not sure how it compares
I haven't tried it myself and it doesn't seem to be a feature built into touchdesigner, but if you search "touchdesigner SOP to SVG" it looks like someone made a pipeline on github that does it

just getting into touch designer myself, so much to learn but i'm glad to see there's quite an active community of passionate users!

welcome to the td community 🙌✨
Thank you, your videos have been a great help 😅
Love the way you present and talk through this! Very engaging and helps understand whats doing what :) thank you
This is so helpful! Thanks for dragging me into the TD thing! 😊🙌
The most straight forward user video I’ve seen…cheers and have a great weekend 🖤😎🙌🐇
Fantastic explanation,visualization and awesome end results. Keep doing these type of video's!
Your works on IG are beautiful! Thanks for sharing this
holy wow this looks amazing. I need to get into this asap.

i already love your vods ! .. lets see what can be explored
what is happening
Thanks for making video! Great work!
Really cool! Gives me an urge to get back to learning TouchDesigner, thank you!
This is great! nice work :D
very nice introduction to Touchdesigner
nice work. the art you're creating is beautiful
thank you for your creativity, it is very interesting and informative
nice video phase 💪🏼
this tool is reminding me of ComfyUI.
This is awesome thank you so much!
I just found this channel and loved it! Could youmake more videos, like using programs to edit sound like ahex twins or things like that
Oh! I really want to know how you did that text warping thing! Tutorial?
Great analysis, thank you! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
Amazing! thanks a lot

Please could you tell me the website (with the principles of design) at 11:04 ?

@@ph4sespace Amazing! Thank you!
Good video.Continue your work.
Where can I get artistic eye?

What's that design site you were looking at if you don't mind me asking?
I wonder how many hours of tinkering and reading the docs was involved :D
hi how did you learn touchdesigner??
Can someone get around knowing how to code by asking ChatGPT? or are there more complicated processes that require knowing how to code?
Basically, can I solve most problem that I would run into with ChatGPT?
Thank you!
so cool!
Hi is it possible to turn this into intersction? Like follow the mouse to generate new motion?
Very cool!
Good job!
Cool video, Quick question, U know why when I add the top to operator to lookup the edge operator doesn't connect with the edge operator?
just like in the 5:59 minute
at 6:07 you can see the code references to the topto operator in the Edge Color parameters. This will connect the two operators. At least I think that is what you're asking ?
Whats your thoughts on Cycling '74? How does it compare to Touch Designer
I've only used Max for Live which is for creating virtual musical instruments and stuff. I've not tried using it for creating visual art so not sure how it compares
Very cool
kudos to you
How long did you take to learn TD?
Hi, how difficult is it to export SVG files? Thx
I haven't tried it myself and it doesn't seem to be a feature built into touchdesigner, but if you search "touchdesigner SOP to SVG" it looks like someone made a pipeline on github that does it
❤❤❤
Have you trıed vvvv gamma?
Its a nerd based visual programming software....
Very cool
