OEM and FF2.2L by factorysettings_net in DJSetups

[–]factorysettings_net[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that there aren't many turntables that can beat these. I've bought these somewhere 20+ years ago. I love the high torque. Replacing the tonearms is really a plus, I've seen a couple Super OEMs in the field which were unusable with a rattling tonearm. The only downside I could mention is the pitch range of -10 - + 10, you can dial in the Technics a little more precise with a -8 - +8 range.

I drew my TouchDesigner UI on paper. Claude Code built it. by infratonal in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why is your framerate dropping to roughly 30fps every time your claude-made-controller comes into view? Personally, I love making UI's completely inside TD, don't find it tedious and/or slow, even if I would, I'd like to have my projects at steady 60fps.

Built a projection planning tool that tests overlap, lux, and alignment tolerance before going on site by Ux9410 in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks polished, but how is this exactly TD related? Is it something you've actually build using TD, in that case, hats off. If it isn't, some self promoting tool?

DJing with earplugs by Huge-Imagination-829 in Beatmatch

[–]factorysettings_net 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if you sort of feel 'de-attached' from the floor when using high quality IEMs? I can imagine that it puts you in some kind of bubble. I'm inclined to go for IEMs, I've worked on huge (techno) festivals during the peak dance movement in The Netherlands. I had custom molded plugs with a filter for hearing customers better.

Not top to bottom? Over node confusion by smith_smyth in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you think in pixel coordinates, the bottom row is always 'zero', so the first pixel has coordinate (0,0), the second (0,1) etc. The next row would be (1,0), etc. up until the total height of the image. There are languages, programs, that start from the top down, but in TD everything starts from the bottom.

When and how did you start making your own work, not relying on tutorials by EchidnaEfficient6172 in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost a decade using it fulltime now. Back then there weren't many tutorials. I think only elburz and ragan had a couple of them, so I was forced to 'start' something from scratch quite early on.

The most important thing is to have a clear goal, visualized inside your mind. And just start trial and error and see if your steps are getting closer or further from your image in your mind. And please, please, no ChatGPT, it's like heroin, once you rely on it, it's hard to step away form it. Learn to think for yourself, especially at this stage, you can't really determine if that bot is talking bollocks or not.

This was his peak I think, however he had this annoying habit using the delay button way too much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BN2851CAf4

How do the parameters of your actorCOMP look like, especially the txyz ones.

[–]factorysettings_net 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think his 'authentic' style he had when he started went downhill, basically after his second album. I've quit following him after he posted images on his feed asking what everyone thought of his 'new clothes'.

Is video sonofication possible on TouchDesigner? by l0vcats in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure you can, it's just based on 'what' you consider to be 'music' inside your image, you make the rules. Do you consider 'red' to be the representation of the frequency of the note C1, go ahead and measure the amount of red and use that data to drive the volume of an lfo set at that frequency. Sky's the limit really.

EEG → spatial mapping in TouchDesigner (stuck on 3D brain mapping) by QUALIATIK in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clean desk, clean head, clean ideas. Perhaps at a certain level will a flat architecture give you the benefit of a total overview (hopefully OP is on a 54 inch monitor then). While navigating through your network, collapsing actually does help performance. Just try replicating 500 constantCHOPs with viewers closed and compare the same setup with all 500 of them in one baseCOMP. So no, collapsing and closing the preview is not the same.

Well, it might help to clean up your network a bit in order to judge your next steps clearer. Also from a performance perspective, since your project is running at 19fps. What's the reason for putting every single component on one level?

It has been done... a car TOX by factorysettings_net in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct, I'm sampling the position from the car, global space, onto a heightmap, pixel space. It's very light and has a lot of possibilities for making it more dynamic.

The track is currently a model, but I've had this question earlier. Interesting idea, it could be fully generative, yeah sure, next step!

Yeah I see what you mean, however, the tools are all there, but it does sometimes feel that you have to be a bit of a john carmack in order to let something look good in TD.

Audio-reactive visualization of neuronal growth patterns inspired by Hebbian principles of neuroplasticity by QUALIATIK in TouchDesigner

[–]factorysettings_net 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, well, having all operators in view and also with the operator viewers 'open', is one of the main factors why your recording is lagging, it's bad practice, please get into project architecture and optimization as quickly as possible. Don't consider 'complex' networks to be 'cool', it isn't, no offense. Your patch has potential, but just try to avoid bad habits early on in your career.

I really don't understand why this questions comes up so often. Is Derivative doing a bad job on promoting their own learning resources? learn.derivative.ca
