My second experiment with TouchDesigner is creating this audio-reactive particle visual by following Bileam Tschepe 's tutorial on Youtube. Again, I just followed his tutorial step by step. This tutorial is a little different because it uses both audio and visuals. The visual follows the music in real-time. Other than audio, we are also introduced with the element 'Math' to add the channels of the audio together. This is the end product. Music is FriendsV2 by Muskatt.

My first experiment with TouchDesigner is creating this particle displacement visual by following Bileam Tschepe's tutorial  on Youtube. His tutorial is pretty clear on how to create this project, however, I'm going to show a little on how it goes. This is my result.

TouchDesigner is a node-based visual programming language for real-time interactive multimedia content, developed by the Toronto-based company Derivative (via Wikipedia ). TouchDesigner is so flexible that it can be used to create audiovisual-based projects, detailed 3d projects, create complex interactive UI solutions, amongst others. I honestly have never heard of this software before being introduced by my lecturer. So far, I have been doing experiments with nodes and looking up tutorials to get familiar with the details. Tutorials I've been following are mostly by Bileam Tschepe  where he thought the basics of using the software to create audio and visual-related artwork. To get a project working, we must always remember that the flow of the network must be arranged in a flow from left to right. Start everything on the left side of the screen, and end the project on the right, preferably into one output (node). To start a project, it requires operations, and to create...

This post is to update my experiment on the Thinker Blinker project. Thus far, I had been trying to 'install' the appropriate node.js that are necessary for this project to work. The first thing I need to make sure is the file being in the right folder. In the following picture, we can see that the file I wanted to run is called 'index.js' that is located in /Users/christinedinata/index.js . So I typed 'node index' on my terminal/command prompt page (read more from this post I uploaded previously) to call the file to get it running. However, there are some 'errors' because it says that the computer can't find the osc module. Upon more research on how to handle this problem, it turns out another node is needed.  npm install node-osc (more information h ere ) But when I wanted to install this, there are a lot of issues and errors as well.  This prompt lead me to search more on why I can't install this node-osc. This  per...
