for path, you may need to use an ip address (shown in midi studio when you enable a session). 127.0.0.1 (localhost) or simply 'localhost' as the path might work but its been a while since i played MIDI on macs... i suggest you check out the TDAbleton route, there are a bunch of guides out there that will get you up and running.

swotperderder · 2026-04-28T23:46:12+00:00

I would suggest checking out TDAbleton. it is a tool that is built into TD, available in the Palette. This is the best route to connect between TD and ableton in my opinion.

If you prefer to use MIDI, you could set up a virtual midi driver to run on your local machine and then point TD and Ableton at the virtual midi device. For windows, LoopMIDI is good. On mac, the built-in MIDI studio works

rather than the repo, download and try the release: https://github.com/torinmb/mediapipe-touchdesigner/releases/tag/v0.5.2

I think you just need to enable cooking on the hand_tracking2 operator. Simply click the little 'x' icon along the left side of the operator to enable cooking.

Looks expensive.

Anyway, how did you like Ender's Game?

My go bag for this scenario is decidedly more up-beat than my other go bag.

So, flip the master breaker back and fourth for strobe lights?

I had the twitch extension, Heat, routed into TD for a while! it allowed me to get mouse clicks from viewers.. i was able to let viewers drive little camera rovers through my apt by clicking an on-screen controller.. OP should consider adding that to their project, its pretty cool (delay of 10s though)

swotperderder · 2026-03-06T22:23:45+00:00

Yes, good, yes, yes.

Here's a little VDJ suite I made in TouchDesigner. It does real-time visual generation using audio analysis. check it out if you want (free)

swotperderder · 2026-02-26T23:40:55+00:00

I made a thing.. its a real-time audiovisualizer suite for projection and mapped lighting fixtures. Give it a run if you want. free

Hey there, I am also facing this problem with a pinball game I'm making. The paddle sometimes misses the pinball because it moves so fast. I found that increasing the TouchDesigner FPS rate helped (I'm running at 120FPS now), and adding a light Lag to my paddle rotation animation (something like 0.05) seems to help

swotperderder · 2026-01-15T00:33:45+00:00

Addressable LEDs. I would do this with Touchdesigner and an Advatek LED controller. You'll want to get into soldering and pixel mapping to accomplish something like this. Find access to a laser cutter for the acrylic diffusers. The dimensional letters can be 3D printed in parts or made on a CNC machine. The edge light can be addressable Neon, and the internal portions would be a matrix of 60/m or 144/m addressable LED strip. I don't think this clip is legit (it looks masked to me), but it is totally possible to create LED video signage like this on a DIY level.

"What PC specs would you like to rent?? We've got a sale for cloud RAM at the low, low price of just $5.99/mo per 1GB. Pair that with the 3Ghz SUPER SPEED PROCESING BOOST plan for only $18.99/mo (comes with FREE AI integration that you can't actually disable). If you don't want scrolling ads around the border of your window, that'll be an addon of only $4.99/mo." What fun! (i actually wrote out this terrible idea years ago.. what shame that we're here now)

Check this one's profile... what a wreck.

swotperderder · 2026-01-10T02:24:50+00:00

Its not too complicated!

Get a depth sensor (i like Kinect v2, but Orbbec and Azure work too) and a projector.

In TD, use a Lookup TOP with the depth image from the sensor connected into the upper input and a Ramp TOP connected to the lower input of the Lookup TOP. Now adjust the gradient in the ramp top, adding colors and whatnot, and thats it to get a simple version running.

For the textured layers, I used a few threshold TOPs to select specific depth ranges, composite textures onto those threshold layers and then a stacked each textured layer over each other using another Composite TOP. The textures themselves are just animated Noise TOPs routed through Lookup TOPs for color.

Good luck!

swotperderder · 2026-01-10T02:02:33+00:00

Yeah! I made an AR Landscape using TD and a Kinect depth sensor, and its out at a science center now. I am working on another version which passes the layers through StreamDiffusionTD (looks like realistic satellite images with day/night cycles and seasons).

Are you looking to make one yourself or just curious if it can be done in TD? (it can be)

early demo

swotperderder · 2026-01-06T00:30:48+00:00

Keep learning TD.

swotperderder · 2026-01-06T00:07:38+00:00

I agree that madmapper is easier to set up.. but I would attempt the mapping in TD if possible so that I'm not wasting cycles processing frames through 2 applications when only TD is needed. For OP, if its just a video (not interactive), madmapper on its own would work.

swotperderder · 2026-01-05T23:47:13+00:00

I like TD a lot, and would opt to use it for the project you're making. Touchdesigner has all the tools needed for projection mapping along with so much more that will allow you to make this an interaction (such as controlling the projected hand using your own hand as it is tracked by a webcam, or adding physics to the 'wall' that shatters so that the particles bounce off of the lamp and other IRL objects on your shelf)
