Shoutout to @d-id for my new android friend making the voice-over.

The system has no right to be this nice being that simple. Particle SOP is amazing, even more particlesGPU! Thanks!

Hello, I am a student who is learning touch designer in Korea. I was very impressed by the video! I wonder if you can show other people on the spot using Connect in real time

[caesarblanko]

thx youre amazing intelligent AI! Maybe you can help me out, when i connect the line to the null, fine, but how i connect the null to the geo, when i just put it over it asks me parm: material, parm: internal op, copy into geo1. no matter what im pressing, i lose the image on geo1.

would be cool to have on screen kb inputs

[ewereko]

Thank you. Any idea how to change the colour of the background?

[sebespejel]

good video, just wish it was a little more detailed for us beginners haha

[accy-zln]

how do you connect the trace (sop) with the tresh? (top)

[linaskairys]

I was with you but then I got an error when I added my Material saying "The geometry shader is being used to render one or more primitives that are not compatible with its input primitive type." What am I doing differently? I get get it to do dot particles but not lines. Thanks for the help.

Hello. Thanks for the super cool tutorial. I'm following along with you. But my particle operation dosen't seem to have white line like yours(it only has red line). I tried tweeking the level settings, still the white lines are seen with very low opacity Any idea why is this happeing?

[krostic]

hi dude! the tutorial is great. I use the latest version of td but when I insert Line MAT nothing happens. It'd doesn't shown in camera or geo. Before I did that everything was perfect. What can be a solution for this?

[michellemolina]

Hello, I was wondering if you require good lighting to make this happen??

[ngreva]

I am using THE LATEST version, whenever I import line it does not work, any solutions?

[tylerbrooks_media]

I've tried this on both Windows + Mac with the latest versions of touchdesigner - the white particles only show up as very small dots that disappear very quickly and don't look like the solid lines you have at all. I've followed each step you've shown very closely. Any solution?

Thank you so so much! Unrelated, but what did you use for the avatar animation with the voiceover? I’m trying to create something similar for my little sister who is 8 years old and lives in the Middle East and can’t show her face on YouTube but she really wants to create and share content with the world. I want to help her do that, any guidance is much much appreciated!

Hey! do you have a clue, i was going to export it but when i did, the screen was black.... Thanks :)

[ShamanicArts]

Cool tutorial, but for some reason the particles do not match the outline in my network, instead they spread outward like they are affected by some force

[s.o.s.l.o.w]

im using the lastest version on 2022 33910 and the line mat not showing anything until i activate the normals but it makes a feedback effect on loop

[robertcrystals]

1:16 what the heck is a trace saw band? can't find it in the operators.

Thank you for this tutorial! I have one question: I made this but multiplied by 3 to have it projected on 3 screens. So I also used the tracing 3 times and my fps are now 4-7 so way too low...Do you know how I can fix this?
