- Speed-based animation is critical in TouchDesigner, but you really shouldn't be using absTime to do it. Learn some good alternatives and how to set up nice speed controls for your projects. youtu.be/JtXad96DVB0 #touchdesigner

- Somehow I can't currently seem to make anything decent that isn't just a rehash of something I've already done. I'll figure it out eventually but it's frustrating. Anyways here's another hallway thing with stair blending! #touchdesigner #raytk
- It feels a bit repetitive but I like it. I've done versions of this before. But perhaps uniqueness isn't really necessary. #touchdesigner #raytk #t3d (from @josefpelz.bsky.social )
- Some day I'll get tired of iterated transform orbs and make something else, but that day is not today. Shape by RayTK, rendered with T3D from @josefpelz.bsky.social #touchdesigner #raytk #t3d
- This one is from 2017 which is somehow allowed to be 9 years ago. I ended up using it as a mask in resolume a lot though that wasn't the original idea. It might be fun to try to rebuild it with pops... #touchdesigner
- I think I actually like this one! I've been focused too much on novelty and not repeating myself. But I like fractally tunnel things even if I've done a lot of them already. Blue sky crushed the video so here's an Instagram link.. 😕 #touchdesigner www.instagram.com/reel/DT-_ec7...

- It's hard to create things of value while convinced you aren't capable of doing so despite any evidence to the contrary. Anyways here are some shapes doing 4D stuff. #touchdesigner #raytk
- It's been hard to get back into creative flow after getting out of the hospital. So this one's from earlier. I do have another tutorial scripted out though so I can at least make that. #touchdesigner
- New video out! A good mixer is critical for a VJ rig. Learn how to build your own crossfader with a bunch of useful features and a nice UI! It's also a good way to practice designing your own custom components and level up your TouchDesigner developer skills. youtu.be/hsgPrxacrGE #touchdesigner
- Finding out one's organs are all in the wrong places is way less fun and exciting than one might expect. But at least my heart is in the center unlike the rest of you asymmetric losers
- For those unaware I'm having serious health problems and I'm not available to help with projects
- It shouldn't be possible for premiere to crash so hard that you can't even kill the process without fully rebooting, and yet it's happened twice now. In other news editing my next video is taking a while. Maybe time to switch to davinci resolve
- I've been spending way too much time on editing for my next tutorial. It's nice to take some time to make some shapes do stuff. #touchdesigner #tdpops
- This week's installment of Fun Hand Gestures I Apparently Do While Recording Tutorials
- Sometimes I like the things I make. #touchdesigner #tdpops
- I just finished recording a tutorial about building out a mixer/crossfader for a vj rig. I still need to do some editing but it should be out soon!
- Projects finished so I have some time! Anyone who wants advice on TouchDesigner or chat about VJ stuff comment or DM me and I’ll send you a link.
- It has been a truly strange year for me. 2026 will be significantly stranger. 2030 will probably even out a bit. (assuming we're still around 🤷♀️)

- I spent way too much time lining up the DMX mapping with the projection. Results are nice though. The content is from one of my RayTK tutorials from a while back. #touchdesigner #raytk
- Trying out POPX tools from Mini UV! So much potential #touchdesigner #popx
- New video is out for public release! Audio reactive scenes are awesome but what happens when you want to combine a few? Learn how to share audio analysis data across scenes that can be dropped into any project! youtu.be/yRKwgdMioGY

- It's been really difficult to get myself to produce anything worth showing, but I kind of like this one. Sort of getting back to my roots and the era where everything I did used wireframe. #touchdesigner #tdpops
- Found this in my render archive from a few months ago. You're welcome. 😬 #touchdesigner #vnyan
- There's a track I've been listening to on repeat for months. Kinda want to make a video piece for it. So... might do that. Hello Audacity, it's been a while. Apparently they now have a cloud service and plugin store that they heavily and deceptively push on you which isn't great.
- Bluetooth headphones are nice for many things, but cutting out the first second or so from the start of any audio being played makes audio / video editing super annoying.
- Might do a tutorial and file download for this RayTK scene after the video I'm currently editing, along with a version that offsets a 3d surface with the pattern. And maybe toss in mediapipe control? Interested? #touchdesigner #raytk
- I'll do some proper posts about this soon. But for now, check it out we did a thing! A 10m high thing! Content by grnch with some color edits by me.
- Just finished recording a video about how to share audio analysis across multiple scenes. A few people had asked about it. Should be done with editing in a few days. #touchdesigner
- Dear LEDs (those affiliated with receiver card 11), Please stop being red all the time. Sometimes it's a nice color, but I don't think it's necessarily better than the colors we're asking you to be. Let's focus on those colors instead ok? Thanks! Be polite but firm with your equipment.
- If anyone's at LDI next week stop by the circle bar and look for the giant led volume. We. Have. Pong.
- Those numbers become so abstract and the comparisons so arbitrary. It's easy to lose perspective. But it feels amazing to know that I've helped some people make art.
- I look at this and I see all the things I wish were better. The coloring is too uniform. The pattern is muddled and indistinguishable. The depth range of the surface cuts off too abruptly. I do also like it generally. I just have to push past all of those things. #touchdesigner
- downside of commercial work is i can't talk about half of it and i really want to. getting paid is good though... so... tradeoffs. getting hypothetically paid in a future in which a project succeeds is at least hypothetically good.
- I spent today debugging an led processor. I'll have some fun stuff to share in a week or so. Anyways here's a rework of a classic RayTK technique. #raytk #touchdesigner
