Video Synthesis in TouchDesigner Tutorial (WAVE_WARP From Scratch) youtu.be/Jxd-1MHkoR0 I just released v1.6 of my latest tool, and it’s been a 6 month journey. That said, it only takes 30 minutes to learn the underlying #touchdesigner network

In a previous life I made music videos. In this life you either didn’t know, I’ve said no, or you’re Real Numbers 💕

This #videosynth was supposed to be low hanging fruit on my to-do list, but I went all out on this Ui and Ux for the last few months. Anyways: WAVE WARP Video Synthesis Engine for #TouchDesigner youtu.be/hLYKK1N2vPY

I’ve been working on some new ways to play with waveforms in #touchdesigner and have my first proper #videosynthesis type component nearing completion. Consider this a teaser while I consider it a test of whether or not I can still explain myself. More soon :)
I really didn’t want to record and edit a #touchdesigner tutorial today, but it’s the submission date for a hackathon I entered three weeks ago. Yesterday Renee Nicole Good was murdered by 🖕ICE🖕 on the backside of my old block, and we’re all having 2020 flashbacks. Anyways, 👐 youtu.be/5M5d21H43LM

Agreed💯 And hey I don't know if you've ever seen this document, our DoD made it after WWII. He who many call our President is a clear-cut fascist as defined by our own government in 1945. I encourage you and everyone to read it, it's not very long and well worth it. archive.org/details/Army...

and I never used this #touchdesigner effect ever again 🪄💨 even tho it’s a banger. ADHD really makes life harder than it needs to be lol.
Customizing components 3/3 - Thus concludes this #touchdesigner #beginnertutorial - and the conclusion of my chopping a ten minute vid into three parts experiment.
Customizing #touchdesigner components #tutorial pt.2b - After setting up the reaction diffusion in the last part we start linking all the controls we want on our base comp. In the next vid we’ll wrap It up by fine tuning the new controls.
Customizing components (Pt. 2a) #touchdesigner #tutorial and the first step is to set up something to control. Here we make a quick lil reaction diffusion feedback loop.
I’ve been answering all the beginner #touchdesigner questions on TikTok this week. We’ve mostly been talking about organizing bigger projects, and customizing components. I’ll try to share what I still worth watching under the 3 minute cap. I spend this up to fit, sorry the ensuing demonic autotune
I want to make educational resources and tutorials for #touchdesigner again, but this Waveform Distortions project would have to be a 48 hour livestream marathon rebuild. That ain’t happening so maybe I’ll figure out how to make digestible and streamlined segments that make up this framework
#touchdesigner memories from my first dev year coming full circle. The collective consciousness and my own curiosities in alignment, which wouldn’t happen without sharing little moments of inspiration and progress. I’ll be working on Waveform Distortions project for one more month and then?
Looks a lot like #generative #art to me. Sorry for filming in both orientations
I’ve been working on the same #touchdesigner project for four months. It takes any video source and scrambles it using any audio source. This is exactly the kind of thing that will be decimated by heavy compression so let’s see how it looks in 3… 2… 1…
y'know it's kind of a tell that they think celebrating the end of slavery is DEI
3 dead so far at Krome ICE detention center in Florida. Max capacity was 500, they have over 4,000 and not enough water and food. Reports say they get 1 cup of water per day. These are already death camps. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/n... english.elpais.com/usa/2025-04-...
Immigrant women describe 'hell on earth' in ICE detention
No shower for days, cameras trained on the toilet, women crammed into cells 'like sardines,' among the allegations.

I think I’m just holding a spot here on BS until until video compression isn’t pinching every penny. I’m finally getting back into making #touchdesigner tutorials again. Maybe I’ll be back with part 1 on getting this effect tomorrow?
Is it too late to start #genuary ? I’m in the groove of making generative 3d textures in #touchdesigner
Half the build time on this #touchdesigner experiment was making the rolling vhs static by blending wave CHOPs and a CHOP2TOP
X-Ray Vision Eye tracked X-ray scanner. Eye tracking is janky af and needs tuned, but a fun proof of concept. I plan on iterating on this idea a bunch for a larger install. @uneasyviewing.bsky.social tester 🙏♥️ Made in #Touchdesigner with POPs #3d #biology #interactive #visualization

I barely know any of you, but if you battle pointlessness or feel powerless, especially for creative introvert: Don’t stop, and don’t turn inward. Fight the freeze response, and create to keep your sense of self. Creative expression IS defiance in these times. Nurture your spirit and stay connected.
