An exciting new challenege in program that far exceces my understanding at the start. I had a goal to make an interactive work in TouchDesigner. Not only was it a new program to use and explore, I found many opertities for learning something new with how technical the programe is.
01 Designing Stage
I wanted to do something with cel animation, so I needed something cute and simple. The theme, given to me by the team as this was suggested to be more simple. Singing dinosaurs increased or decreased volume based on hand pinching.
Touch Designer was a huge learning curve for someone not used to such , as some would put it "nerd stuff". And I do agree. Its all nerd stuff. Different tabs and nodes that do all of these effects; As well as comps and geo's, it looked like a huge puzzle with all of the puzzle peices thrown about in alphabedtical order.
Building the file was truly the hard part, as setting up the code, and nodes to do what I wanted as a bit hard to understand the full scope to why it was happening and what made it do what I wanted. But after double checking and meeting up with others I started to understand more of what the tracking was looking for. Though it is still a bit finicky with some minor errors, it works! And it trurned out great doing it.
