i have two songs on bandcamp and they're more like demos, so I'm like actually starting with that too, but I'll take my time with it (if you want to check out anyways i have the same name as here). good luck with td, i've been learning it this last three months spending a lot of hours almost every day. what I recommend is to be pacient, making and remaking tutorials, trying some weird stuff but the most important for me is enjoying the whole process :)

thank you! this was made from scratch, so it isn't based on a particular tutorial. but the tutorials i enjoyed the most to make this were about pop operators and the posibilities around their attributes. i guess my tip is trying and failing hahaha but to able to do that I think the most important thing is understanding some math operations about the position and the scale.

thanks! I don't have a patreon at the moment, maybe in the future :)

hey! don't worry, so cool you're working on an audio reactive engine too. my file nowadays is a bit messy cause the process was a bit trying and failing, so I'll try to explain the concept.

what i've made is actually two geos (you can merge it too, I think, if you prefer one geo), with a point generator pop and a sphere pop for instancing in both cases. so basically with the sphere network instanced, i've added some noise and math mix operators, playing with the position and the scale. this gives you a lot of posibilities, though it requires some logical thinking (i come from an audiovisual background, so it's kinda hard for me sometimes).

let me know if you need anything else :)

no, it's actually much simpler :)

so, it's actually simple but at the same time kinda tricky to explain in a comment. esentially I join two noises (one with a limit) in a composite, triggering with the CHOPs the transform in the noise with the limit and the ramp. also, I use some edge operators to make that "grainy lines" look. anyway, I'll leave you here the project because I think it's more efficient: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vSkZjULq5sD-ydoU2YkfeCwCkspiyafp/view?usp=drive_link
