What Is Feedback? Overview and Using Feedback TOP in TouchDesigner for Visual & Interactive Creators

*Summary*
This tutorial explores three feedback techniques in TouchDesigner: infinite mirror effects, motion trails, and simulating decay and dissolve effects. We start with a simple mirror analogy to explain feedback and demonstrate creating dynamic visuals with basic operators. You’ll learn how to duplicate and transform components to create intricate patterns. Feedback is a powerful tool for generating organic and evolving visuals, perfect for live performances and generative art.

Awesome video, subscribed! Just getting into TouchDesigner and these types of videos are super helpful to get a feel for how to set up mappings/routings!

Hi Okamirufu! First off, massive thanks for your tutorials. I just came across your channel a couple of days ago, but I have to admit that your tutorials are the most succinct and clear I've watched. So pls keep up teaching us!
Btw, I have a question. Who are the artists that inspire your arts and learning new media art the most? Do you know any archives or websites that display a lot of new media arts in general and TD in specific? Where would you look up if you need references? Thank you!

The whole lecture is so sleek. You just killed 70% of college classes with 15 minutes.

amazing videos, thank you! one note though - the background music is quite repetitive, it would be easier to focus on the amazing tutorial with no music or something more ambient :)

Hey! Thanks for the tutorial. When I get to the step to change the scale in Transform - my output creates a "cat eye" type slit, instead of a shrinking circle...any idea what I've missed?

[ceahehehe]

nice share, may I askIs there any place where I can download a beginner's template?

[sammiali]

thank you for this great tutorial! i am wondering how do you get it so you can see your output on the side of your screen? the only way i can see mine is by going to a full screen window of it. thanks again!
