I encountered the same problem when editing with vsc, did you solve it?

uh, I don't remember now but I don't think so! Sorry about that@@ppyang8843

some of the parameters in more current version of TD have moved to different tabs of the parameter window. as well, some of the default options for some of the operators used in this video have changed (for example the parameter chop will need the buttons "custom" and "built-in" to be activated if you're using 2021.16410 as they are not active by default as they are in the version from 2017 used in this video)

Sorry you feel that way. This particular tutorial is about 6 years old now - from a time when there wasn’t as much information about TouchDesigner available.

What the hell? I for my part am amazed that I can watch these tutorials for free and how amazingly well ( and entertainingly, I might add) Matthew explains these things. You know these tutorials are part of full courses taught in university? Maybe check out the courses from Mathews website if you want to learn more. Anyway, I have learned a ton watching these videos and I'm lucky I stumbled across these tutorials. Big up for Matthew!

@@jesselamsa4847 I mean I sure Matthew can handle criticism and doesn’t need a cheerleading to deny my personal feelings on something.

@@nobodyinnoutdoors I'm sure he can. Just a weird criticism, that's all. And it's true I got a bit cheerleady, I have been just so hyped about these tutorials recently.

I was working with assets that I already - you can work with any same-sized asset you have on your computer.

Matthew Ragan I love your tutorials! By far the best on the subject. I was able to find the files on your website. I’m new to TD and have little to no understanding of touchdesigner/python; it would be great if you share links to content/previous project files for ease of following along. Perhaps, even example projects in the links? Thanks for the great vids!

@@jeffreyhackbarth1053 thanks! If you're just getting started here then I usually recommend that you look at this page matthewragan.com/teaching-resources/touchdesigner/ this is a high level over-view of all the tutorials, along with additional materials - some of which aren't recording, just longer form text. Most newer tutorials also have an accompanying github repo with all of the source code. IMO it's easier to follow along from the website than here in KZfaq, so I usually recommend that folks look there first.

in unison as in; they all rotate around the same single axis in TD space

it's as if the geo1 doesn't apply it's parameters to the instances

@@thomasvandendool6613 a few pieces have changed in TD since 2015, and I think part of what you're seeing is related to a par on the instance 2 page called "Instance Order" which controls the order of operations for transformations. If you post your current progress on the forum and tag me I'd be happy to give it a look.

@@raganmd Got it! thanks a million matthew! it's working now ;)

Can somebody link to the forum about that? I'm wondering as well. Thanks

I've had mixed results with comments here on KZfaq. From the usual troll style comments, to requests for help. It's pretty difficult to help someone trouble shoot a network / process in these comments since you can't post files or images easily. It's also hard to manage as another contact channel - I usually try to steer folks to the derivative forum to ask for help. That's a better knowledge store, there are others there who can help, and its' a better medium for sharing progress and getting feedback. :)

@@raganmd I understand, thank you anyway for all the content. I'm learning TouchDesigner and I'm not even a programmer so it's a steep curve.

It might be that you've hit x on your keyboard... the x key will show and hide exports (the dotted lines in the interface). The s key will change your connections from straight to curved lines. Give that a try and see if that helps.

@@raganmd thank you! i tried but for example if i drag the null to the template dat table, and it creates the items, i can see the gray lines between them. its just with the container and the replicator idk why is not able to conect them, and that makes that after when i try to drag the container to clone master in the replicator it puts an error. this error appears in the replicator and it says that "clone master must be the same type". Its something ive been trying and trying again and i cant solve it. Im trying to do my own media player and i cant move forward im stucked in this part :( thank you for your time!!

@@soulstice555 ahh - so you make the container a clone of itself - so in the drag container_master1 onto the clone parameter the container_master1 - not onto the replicator. Does that make sense?

@@raganmd You mean dragging the container_master1 just in the clone parameter? But in the video it drags this container to the parameter of master operator in the replicator and in the "common" in the clone master aswell i think. the thing is that before the step of cloning, i dragged the container to the master operator in replicator but the gray line and the arrow between the container_master1 and the replicator node is not appearing so somehow is not relating them and i dont understand why because in the video it automatically related them with the line. And the gray lines i checked and are visible in other nodes so i dont know why is not relating them, its weird.

@@soulstice555 same error here. I dont know if this is kind of an update and they changed it so now we won't see the gray arrow relating the container_master1 and the replicator. Don't know how to solve this.

hey hey - it's hard to tell what might be going wrong without looking at your network. If you post your progress on the TD Forum I'd be happy to take a look. :)

@@raganmd ok now it´s in the forum by beginners ( "sopto" problems)
