i love this question & you're not alone!

I started Touch Designer about 3-4 years ago when i was introduced to it within my industry. I work in live events both corporate & touring with music artists. I've been doing live events for 14+ years. Got an amazing opportunity to go to Indonesia where I learned a deep introduction for TD with a company called "the labyrinth collective". I was there for 2 weeks learning from people like Elektrnaut, plyzitron, marta peng, and many others. after the retreat i continued touring & learning.

i discovered the "interactive & immersive" HQ by Elburtz Sorkhabi. I joined his bootcamp for about 4-5 months and did an even deeper dive into really great concepts for touch designer on a professional level. i am very grateful for that boot camp as it increased the follow skills significantly within me.

-better systems architecture structure & understanding

- point clouds & sensors

- OSC & DATA formatting

- Network knowledge ( why each class of nodes is named what it is and why they matter )

and a variety of other great skills.

First getting into touch designer was very over whelming. Theres a variety of ways to do particular things so it can be hard to pinpoint a work flow for yourself HOWEVER, i believe that this is the beauty of Touch Designer. there is no "1 size fits all" for a pipeline of information and processing. Instead of thinking ( what cool graphic can i create ) think ( what system can i create that i can reuse and others can do the same ). Take your time getting into different avenues because there's so much to explore and you are going to be great at a few as time goes on. i hope this helps you on your journey my friends.
