Video Synthesis in TouchDesigner Tutorial (WAVE_WARP From Scratch) youtu.be/Jxd-1MHkoR0 I just released v1.6 of my latest tool, and it’s been a 6 month journey. That said, it only takes 30 minutes to learn the underlying #touchdesigner network

This #videosynth was supposed to be low hanging fruit on my to-do list, but I went all out on this Ui and Ux for the last few months. Anyways: WAVE WARP Video Synthesis Engine for #TouchDesigner youtu.be/hLYKK1N2vPY

I’ve been working on some new ways to play with waveforms in #touchdesigner and have my first proper #videosynthesis type component nearing completion. Consider this a teaser while I consider it a test of whether or not I can still explain myself. More soon :)

I really didn’t want to record and edit a #touchdesigner tutorial today, but it’s the submission date for a hackathon I entered three weeks ago. Yesterday Renee Nicole Good was murdered by 🖕ICE🖕 on the backside of my old block, and we’re all having 2020 flashbacks. Anyways, 👐 youtu.be/5M5d21H43LM

I’ve been answering all the beginner #touchdesigner questions on TikTok this week. We’ve mostly been talking about organizing bigger projects, and customizing components. I’ll try to share what I still worth watching under the 3 minute cap. I spend this up to fit, sorry the ensuing demonic autotune

I want to make educational resources and tutorials for #touchdesigner again, but this Waveform Distortions project would have to be a 48 hour livestream marathon rebuild. That ain’t happening so maybe I’ll figure out how to make digestible and streamlined segments that make up this framework

#touchdesigner memories from my first dev year coming full circle. The collective consciousness and my own curiosities in alignment, which wouldn’t happen without sharing little moments of inspiration and progress. I’ll be working on Waveform Distortions project for one more month and then?

I’ve been working on the same #touchdesigner project for four months. It takes any video source and scrambles it using any audio source. This is exactly the kind of thing that will be decimated by heavy compression so let’s see how it looks in 3… 2… 1…

I think I’m just holding a spot here on BS until until video compression isn’t pinching every penny. I’m finally getting back into making #touchdesigner tutorials again. Maybe I’ll be back with part 1 on getting this effect tomorrow?

I barely know any of you, but if you battle pointlessness or feel powerless, especially for creative introvert: Don’t stop, and don’t turn inward. Fight the freeze response, and create to keep your sense of self. Creative expression IS defiance in these times. Nurture your spirit and stay connected.

Basement Vibes @basementvibes.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

I know you can upload 60 seconds here, but I advise video artists to not post anything longer than a 10 sec teaser. I’m sure it will improve tho. I’m testing levels of detail, movement, and file size to see if I can ID where BS compression breaks your art like a 2009 android vid via text msg

I made a discord bot to control TouchDesigner feedback effects, and just got it running on a 15 year old laptop. I’m going to see if it can go 24/7. It uses commands like !tx -7 to move the feedback transform left 7 pixels. Hop on to try it out!
