WEEK 3 – Introducing TouchDesigner

This week, Serra and Suny opened the door to a whole new world of creative possibilities. TouchDesigner is like the ultimate playground for anyone who loves merging real-time 3D graphics with interactive control.
TouchDesigner can seamlessly connect with anything you throw at it – live camera feeds, and sensor data. It’s like having a blank canvas that comes alive with your interaction.

But learning the ropes wasn’t just about theory. We dove deep into practical sessions with Pierre. His workshops were a goldmine of information, covering everything from project mapping to crafting audio-reactive visuals. One of the most valuable lessons for me? Mastering how to manipulate colours in a round shape and transform them into dynamic elements that dance to the beat.

To put these new skills to the test, I created a visual piece. It started with a simple shape, just a circle with some noise full of colour. It wasn’t just about practising the tech, it was about exploring the artistic potential of TouchDesigner. The final result? A captivating visual that flowed with the music, a testament to the power of TouchDesigner to create truly immersive and interactive experiences.
