your tuts are so inspiring and so educational for someone like me, new to TD and the TD community. thank-you for sharing your knowledge
Digging the rebrand. Very cool video. Thanks for helping us
This is absolutely awesome! Thanks for sharing!
First time following a TouchDesigner tutorial, got everything working! (apart from the noise showing on the white bg at the end). Thank you : )
it’s crazy, so actual technique. thank you
with a little tweaking this is PERFECT for VJing-thank you so much!
Great technique and results. Thanks for sharing your rnd.
Thank you! Very inspiring tutorial
p.s. the new logo looks awesome!
Superb !!! These can be used as album covers ! Amazing stuff man !
cheers!
Thank you for these nice tutorials! really helped me a lot.
Amazing! remind me of Autechre and Aphex Twin cover album
great work and thanks again for making great videos that love to learn :)
Loved it! ♥
To those who had have an issue with the ROTATION, I putted the noise in 16bit, under "common" "pixel format". It debbuged my case.
And, thanks so much for your work Bileam !
very cool and helpful. Du bist.
11:35 the term you were looking for is constructivism :) great tutorial.
THANK YOU!!!
This was amaziiiiing. I love you so much
oh shit this is so useful 😩
love it
Hey, I'm wondering if there is a way we can create a ramp so the design morph into the other design ? Like gradually change to the next one..
Thank you for this tutorial !
So amazing! Would be great to quickly save and restore presets based on current seed with control f1-f10 to save. And restore without control. Or any other way. And then a slider to morph between 2 presets. Im sure its possible. You know how😺
Just here because of your name, i have absolut no idea what you are doing.
But it looks fancy!
oh wow, a fellow bileam! that's amazing :)) guess you're also used to people asking at least twice to repeat your name when introducing yourself?
Thanks for your help, I can achieve the effect in the course. I tried to load 300+ video materials, but there will be lags in some places during playback. Do you have any suggestions on performance optimization?
Hey, First love your Videos! I have a question and maybe its a good topic for a short Video. How would you create a fake motion blur? Greez
perfect ... I've never tryed video effects like this, but I have a question ... in this case, can a simple slew limiter be used among the random changes to smooth the transformation so that the shapes flow from one place to another, or is it another more complicated movement process?
thanks! you might be able to do this if you either use noise chops instead of tops and then work with the lag chop or use tops in combination with feedback which i can't explain here via text :)
nice re-branding
Woow 😱😱⚡⚡⚡
Fantastic tutorial! The line mat was breaking it for some reason, it was giving me a blue and red grid without instancing when I tried it, so I swapped it for the wireframe set to Topology and ~3 line width. Just putting that here in case anyone else has that issue!
cheers! are you on a mac?
@@elekktronaut I’m on pc running version 2021.38110, which should be fine? Tried using the Mat in another project and it works
Thank you I had the same issue, this solved it. You know why it is happening though?
@@VinitNPatil I have no clue
@@ascdrgn3481 Were you able to get instancing to work on the grids using this method?
Hi, at 10:55 When I turn off the monochrome the nods become gray and later it does not affect the resizing of the objects, can someone please help me with this?
one more question. may be simple but i'm just beginning. how would you make this audio reactive in that the seeds change with the beats? i've already set up a trigger with my audio.
just exchange the keyboard input with the audio input. also check out my video "make anything audio reactive"
has anyone managed to do this? when i do i get an error for the seed in all of the noises - unsupported type error
@@johannasaunderson5330 you should remap the seed null to the noise nulls, the expression is different when using the keyboard in. Just drag and drop it again and it'll be good, but first you need to make the audio output a 1 and 0 signal so that the count could start.
hi! is there anyway we can make this a visual generative infinite loop? like a video
Hi! question for everyone who's reading, if it's not a common a question, can you link up / put an image into the shape itself, if yes how?
Hi, thank you so much for posting this tutorial! However I have trouble when I use 'math' to change the range from 0-1 to 0-360, the 'limit' wouldn't work as i set up the value step to over 1. I've spent a long time troubleshooting and couldn't find anything wrong. Do you have any idea why this is happening? again your tutorials been super helpful and inspiring, thank u!!
same issue as well!
i've really messed it up with the rotation channels part. idk why that when i set up limit-quantized range value into round and set value step into 90 then display would just disappeared
happened the same here, don't know why
I've found the issue. Make sure to check the Noise to the left of the Math operator. Go to Common, and then make sure the Pixel Format type is set to Use Input.
@ thank you for your help！ i will check later :-)
@ hero
hey all, im an absolute beginner and after replicating I tried to have a kick detector as an input instead of a keyboard in to trigger count and seed. now when I connect the kick detector to the count, it starts counting equally how it looks with the keyboard in, but the image disappears completely and I only see a white background. anyone has a clue here? thanks in advance. x
Hello and thanks ! I have this problem guys: 08:49 when I do that all the 3 GEO nodes are displaying an error.
"All OPs must generate the same number of instances (have the same lenght)."
i have a same problem :/ you have found the solution ?
I had the same problem on this section. Look at the pixels on your noise TOP. Do they appear to have more than 64 points? If it doesn't appear to follow the 8x8 grid that you had set up earlier then it won't work. On the noise TOP go to common Output Res should be "Use Input" and I also had to turn off the "Use Global Res Multiplier". Then it worked for me. In the tutorial video however, "Use Global Res Multiplier" is set to on yet we don't see any issues in Bileam's network. I don't understand that. But this resolved the error for me.
I have a problem at 9:43 when I change the value step to 90 the image preview on the limit disappears, and when I do the scale channels it only shrinks not enlarge. Im new to TouchDesigner, can anyone help?
i have the exact same problem, couldn't find any solution 😢
ok i couldnt solve that problem with the limit node but i found a fix for the scale problem but its not based on the nearest-pixel-noise grid principle:
noise chop into math to apply desired range (i used 1 to 10 to have a higher chance to reach max value ), into limit (1 to 4), into null to extract value.
put that chain into hold chop, triggered by keyboard in, so everytime you press 1 it freeze on a value.
copy these lines (with different noise seeds) for each parameter you want to modulate - scale x, y, etc
also i fixed the problem with shrinking shape by changing the camero ortho width.
hope this helps, its not as cool as the tutorial but can give similar results :)
at 16:19 when I do this there are a bunch of lines going diagonally and they also jiggle? can't find where I went wrong haha
have you managed to solve that? i got a similar problem
I've got the same problem too... I was able to fix the lines being diagnol by ensuring all the limit TOPs had 90 for the value step (I had 45 so the lines were diagonal instead of up and down) but they still jiggle. When I turn on transparency for the line SOP, they quit jiggling but don't reveal the shapes underneath like they should
idk how i found this and i have no idea what touch designer is but it looks pretty cool fr. i also hate nodes so this looks like a nightmare
welcome 😌 why do you hate nodes?
@@elekktronaut I don’t understand them. I do a lot of graphic design too but I’ll eventually learn how to use them. This program from what I’ve seen looks really fun once you know how to use it
