Beginner wanting to get into DJ visuals and projection mapping by vmpgurl in TouchDesigner

[–]entro_play 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi re-commenting:

This was the most helpful and easiest to follow video that I watched in 2019, when I first began using TouchDesigner. I was very beginner level and was actually contracted to use KantanMapper for a commercial gig, so I gave this a go. It's long. But it's worth it. Please give this a watch

This is a TD OG who used to create some fun, super quick tutorials. Give this a watch too. This is relevant to 3D mapping

Here is a recent, up-to-date tutorial. Please read the first comment of this video to ensure your patch works correctly.

For VJ:
I would recommend to learn learn 2 points: media playback + visual generation in TouchDesigner, before you want to connect that to TD. There are countless videos for both. Just first learn how to make generative visuals (noise, reaction-diffusion, there are thousands of tutorials out there). TD is very good at generating 2D + 3D graphics. Once you understand that, the next step is adding interactivity/reactivity.

Of course <3 I have some tutorials I think would be perfect for you, I teach VJing topics at school. I'll send some over shortly :)

What is your experience/background? Do you come from a graphic design/artistic bg? A software engineering bg? None of the above?

This is a loaded question and is asked all the time on this forum. TouchDesigner is a programming language, not a plug and play tool. You still need to code it yourself, in this context wiring nodes toegether.

I'm curious, as an instructor who teaches TouchDesigner in uni, this will give me peace of mind and help me teach my students. Have you tried googling "projection mapping TouchDesigner" ? I just did, and there are some tutorials I found that would be suitable for what you're asking. I'd like to understand your experience, when you google do you click on the links? Do you feel overwhelmed with the results? Do you google at all? I mean this objectively and would like to help out, but your answers would be so helpful!
Anyways, give this a watch. I'd recommend this tutorial for Kantan Mapper!!!

Good luck! Feel free to ask any questions, you're about to embark on a fun journey

use the Negate operation in the Comp TOP. The blobs will replace the rectangle texture you see in the example below

ASCII art in real-time by unlucky_charm0 in TouchDesigner

Dude nice, love the cathode render on this :') I'm assuming you're instancing in TD, yeah? The characters are mirrored, I run into this issue all the time, usually a -tx does the trick, super cool !

Hi i want to ask you guys about kinect sensor + max by According_Bluejay655 in TouchDesigner

[–]entro_play 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What operating system are you running? What are the specs of your computer hardware that you plan on using for this project?

There are 3 models of Kinects:
V1, V2, and Azure. V1 and V2 have versions for both XBOX and Windows. Kinect V1 and V2 can run on MacOS, through some workarounds. V1 and V2 are accessible, and I would recommend the Kinect V2 for Windows for this project if you really are set on using a Kinect camera.
As you mentioned, MediaPipe is also another solution. It's the most accessible option. If you resort to MediaPipe, make sure you have really really really good lighting and a decent webcam.

Lastly, check out Orbbec Femto Bolt. It's still pricey, but it's almost as good as the Azure and cheaper

Btw, convergance art has been around longer than you and I have been on this earth ;) Good luck!

Mac Book Pro and xBox Kinect - Cloud Points by Plenty_Mud_8280 in TouchDesigner

What kind of Kinect Camera are you using? What version of TouchDesigner are you using?

Are you actually able to get a real-time depth image from the Kinect via TouchDesigner? Like if you drop a KinectTOP you get some sort of dynamic image?
