This TouchDesigner tutorial covers creating a displacement effect using distance maps, specifically focusing on the jump flooding algorithm. It also looks at generating a simple plexus style pattern for use with the effect.
Please note this tutorial uses TouchDesigner Version 2023.11600. If you're using an older or newer version there may be features that don't work in exactly the same way.
