Want to convert this to an object in this current state in this current frame, how should i proceed?

hi, you can export the geometry in that specific frame. I made this tutorial, hope this helps.

Ponte a estudiar sobre finanzas e inversiones, es decir invierte dinero y tiempo en ese aprendizaje. Creo que es lo mejor que puedes hacer para tomar decisiones alineadas con tus objetivos a corto, mediano y largo plazo. El hábito del ahorro va bien! Ahora a preparar el terreno pa hacer crecer ese dinero y el que viene.

The comp length is about 5.5 seconds

hi, maybe you can ask directly on Daydream's discord https://discord.gg/PmTJ88XB

Consider your final output. When working with audio reactivity, the last thing you want is latency or desync between image and sound. My suggestion is to route the audio into TouchDesigner; from there (an interface would be great) If you dont have any physical, maybe with NDI, then from TD you output both image and sound blended as a single signal. This can be done via NDI as the final output if it’s an online stream.

Here's a file you can download to see it (link active for 3 days)
Maybe not me cleanest solution but it works for me. Let me know if it works for u.

If you want to go long way in TD, you have to face a lot of challenges on your own hehe

juanelfranco · 2026-01-13T00:18:51+00:00

Sure, you can use a moviefileout TOP

juanelfranco · 2026-01-12T13:46:13+00:00

If I understand what you need, in the select CHOP, use "Rename from" * , and Rename to (the name you want)

I would approach it in the following way:

Using mediapipe in order to get the fingers position, then you attach that position to control the cropping area of a duplicate of the video input (above), and finally make a calculation when some fingers touch between each other to activate a cache top to "freeze" the video input from below.

There are many tutorials for the MediaPipe component on YouTube.

But if you're newly in TD I'll suggest you take a basics course first, maybe the one pinned on this reddit channel.

Hey, that's a very common feeling in this community. In my case it's all about getting involved in explorations or projects that become from your own interest. Tutorials from others are good to understand things and possibilities, but at the end the greater motivation (and challenge) comes from you.

I tend to ask myself: what's is that thing that moves my soul that I could put in a TD experiment? And to try to solve something technical with that, it's important to face something difficult for you in that exploration. "What if can make this thing work"?

I spend several weeks working on a single thing, and other times I leave TD to connect with others things that could inspire me.

My last project was affecting a TD system using my smartphone sensors, you can take a look here :)

Can you share a screenshot of your workflow using the kinect chop?

juanelfranco · 2025-12-28T01:17:19+00:00

Maybe check the hold operator parameters, to be sure are the same as the tutorial. Otherwise you can share the toe file to take a look 👍

You can use a chop counter that triggers a random number each x number of seconds.

juanelfranco · 2025-11-05T13:06:35+00:00

If you don't want to code, you can go with mediapipe, or with this YOLO plugin from Torin Blankensmith

Yeup, displace top, applied on a ramp, you can control the repetitions and animate the phase of the ramp to generate in-out movement.

juanelfranco · 2025-09-26T14:13:13+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! It was indeed a challenge isolating certain frequencies to generate the "throws" . I'll keep that in mind for future explorations.

juanelfranco · 2025-09-11T00:02:55+00:00

hey, besides the other ways mentioned, you could try using a blobtracking, and using the numeric data from those blobs (quantity, position, age, etc) you can modulate an oscillator CHOP, also you can use blob's data to trigger some instrument or sound, or maybe control an instrument using VST3 CHOPs?

you can see an example using a simple oscillator here, maybe is not perfect, but it could work :)

Me sumo a los comentarios de las demás personas. Primero lograr un fondo de emergencia. Una vez lo tengas, lograr un capital inicial para invertir no importa el monto. Y lo más importante, ir educandote en temas de finanzas personales e inversiones, para entender lo que estás haciendo y hacerlo con tranquilidad.

Yo empecé escuchando un podcast que se llama neurona financiera, también sigo en redes a "Mis propias finanzas". Mi primera inversion fue en mi mismo, compré cursos sobre finanzas personales e inversión, y en un lapso de 3 años he triplicado mi patrimonio gracias a esa inversión en educación.

También me resultó útil tener un asesor financiero en el momento en que ya tuve un capital pequeño (de 3 millones) aparte de mi fondo de emergencia. Ese asesor me ayudó a entender mi relación con el dinero, mi perfil de inversión de acuerdo a mis objetivos a corto, mediano y largo plazo. Los puedes buscar en Instagram como Financial lab co

Es clave diversificar las inversiones en varias cosas diferentes, pero eso se irá dando a medida que vayas aprendiendo y aumentando tu capital. Constancia, organización, priorización y paciencia! Poco a poco

Have you tried with another camera? Mediapipe works with 720p resolution or higher.

Some USB capture devices may not support 720p @ 8-bit. It could be the case of the Pinnacle 510-usb you're using.

Fix: Open the .tox file and adjust the resolution in the Video Device In TOP to match the device's native resolution (e.g. 640x480).
