:)

lol

That’s weird o_0

Thank you :)

Yeah, most of my tuts lately have been straining my machine as well.

@@supermarketsallad 🙈😁

Yeah, just to be clear, I wasn’t clear in the original video, I’m not stealing a life component from him I feel like mine is different enough and he isn’t making a life component in the video. Otherwise I wouldn’t put it on my Patreon. I’m stealing his very clever technique of using a matte, a feedback, and a “ticker.” Here it is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK-EmN2DqdvFg2Q.htmlsi=xmp6rCjrIWxutEW0 To your second question: yes it is. And the answer is math. I don’t have a specific tutorial in mind, but I think paketa12 has some great examples of how to do it. I haven’t really figured it out in this specific system since the remap top doesn’t handle values outside of 0-1 very well.

@@supermarketsallad sure man! I wasn't insinuating you were stealing Paketa12's idea or methodology :) i like your videos a lot because of the simplicity that are made: I find very smart your use of some techniques, accessible to all the people like me who don't have big skills on Touchdesigner. that's why I was asking if there was a video on how to build a life component! anyway thanks, i will see the video you shared and I will research if is possible stretching the UV

@DrNapalm yeah, I understood that, I just wanted to be clear. And I’m always happy to share Paketas channel since he is so clever with the program. MiniUV also shares some insane stuff on IG, but I haven’t dug into their tutorials. I was actually trying to stretch the uv before posting the tutorial, but couldn’t really make it work in a clean way. Please let me know if you figure it out :)

Hello! Fun question. First of all: To understand these processes in general, I suggest following Paketa12. Great to understand how pixels work, and how we can calculate with them. I bastardize a lot of his ideas. Otherwise Lake Hekaman, Elekktronaut, Polyhop, and Matthew Ragan have some great explanatory tutorials. If you want to understand this one in particular, I actually suggest first looking in to “instancing” And then go through it node by node to try to understand what each node is doing. (Remember that you can “view as points” to see the pixels as points in space)And if you don’t understand it, read the touchdesigner documentation on the node. But I also suggest breaking the project down to smaller parts and just playing with it to build intuition. If you want to understand the life comp, I have a new(ish) tutorial dedicated to it where I try to explain how and why it works. I’m not a great teacher and try to focus more on art direction, but I’m happy to point you to better teachers.

yes it does, there's unfortunately no way to export a touchdesigner file as a standalone.

@@supermarketsallad Thanks for letting me know. That really sucks for collaboration. I hope they include an interactive export sometime!

@shayanamplified I mean, you can use touchengine in unreal, and there’s compatability with bigwig and ableton etc. But they make their money selling licenses, so I doubt it will change.

@@supermarketsallad Yeah but using OSC is a pain sometimes. It's just an extra step. And I'd probably still wont be able to export interactive things out anyway

do you get it right?

heya! I don't really remember what this was lol but in the meantime I learned that oftentimes that error can be corrected adding and attribute create and applying normals and or tangents@@a_miyaza

you need to assign the keyboard-in chop to the reset button of the component. Aslo make sure you are connecting the select to the input of the comp. assigning the "start" null to the select and then multiplying the select with the output of the comp. does that help?

@@supermarketsallad Yes that helped a lot, thank you so much!

How do you mean?

I noticed it's reacting to your mouse , how can I make it react to Kinect @@supermarketsallad

I don’t have a Kinect, but I imagine you can get chop values related to position. Any value between 0 and 1 in the x and y can be used and if they are larger or smaller than that you might need to attenuate them. And just substitute the values from the mouse-chop for the Kinect chop. You will also need some sort of “trigger” to substitute the mouse clicks.

Im gonna be honest with you, google translate is not good enough for me to understand your question. But either you can use a movie-file out TOP. Or you could screen-record it if you want to have the mouse in the frame. Hope that answers your question.

What I mean is that the result I made by following your tutorial can only complete mouse interaction in the control panel. How can I export a video file containing mouse interaction? @@supermarketsallad

Because I exported the video directly and did not include mouse interaction, I am confused about what to do. I would really appreciate it if you could help.@@supermarketsallad

@ZuoYu use a movie-file out TOP, and plug it in after the last null. And then it will record everything you do :)

非常感谢！！！爱你~~@@supermarketsallad
