This is a consolidated archive of 19 experimental TouchDesigner oscilloscope systems made across several years. The release gathers multiple oscilloscope, diffusion, audio-reactive geometry systems, particle, and XY-drawing builds into one larger study pack. You just plug an audio-source, and let the thing evolve.

As the title says, I'm looking for a portable second monitor for TD, mostly used when I need to travel abroad. I've read positive reviews for Tern Setups, but since there are many options, I'd love to know your experience with this or other portable monitors.
Thanks,
D.
Hi, first and second pics are my main network probe and the third is a container inside it
I've been playing with td for a few month and get quite handy with it (I think) but now I'm working on a huge network for the first time (it isn't done yet it's just the beginning) and I think it's time for me to work on network optimization
I'm using a bit of POPs, a lot of TOPs and CHOPS (mostly constant, lag, count, midi in/out) - this project works with MadMapper so I have only MM and TD open on my computer
For now, my project runs at ~51fps stable when my pc is hot (but stable 60fps when I run it)
I obviously use it in Perform Mode and looked on internet how to optimize it but I quite felt overwhelmed by all those informations and don't know how to start with this... can you please help me understanding how to optimize it or guide me with good tutorials idk? I want to reach stable 60 fps..
I care a lot about this project and don't want to give up on it
Thank's!
Playing with particles is always fun

Hi u/everyone! i've been trying to take my learning to higher levels, trying to project at home, but I can´t find a proper way to practice a long duration live set, to make it more engaging, dynamic and not so monotone.
I find myself looking for ways to have like different visuals in one set but i can't find any good tutorials, I understand I could have madmapper to map, and choose between saved or filmed visuals(honestly haven't tried it because its payed, but i want like a live workflow projection, that can change in time. How do you guys do it? any recommendations? Are there any free tools to try, maybe plug-ins im missing? Or should i just get mad mapper (or another program?) I'm open to any suggestion, really appreciate!
I have plans to buy the commercial license at some point, when I get better knowledge, so i can start VJing at gigs or whatever. But right now its expensive for me haha.
Please HELP! :P
Ps: hope i could explain myself properly haha
I am just looking for a fun hobby which I can do every once in a while , where do I start and what all would I need I already have the application in my Mac.Any advice would be appreciated
Got a show coming up in a couple months, and up until now we've just run visuals with Resolume which is all nice and easy. I've been looking into using TouchDesigner for more complex effects and routing it into Resolume, but wanted to ask those who have tried it whether the setup feels stable and secure?
The last thing I want is to introduce more points of failure and have things freeze up or get weird during a set, and hypothetically I know it should be stable, but with so many factors and connections I'm hesitant to commit
Not sure if anyone has done this a good bit and can either confirm it's stability, or has tips on things I should do to ensure smooth performance and minimal hiccups?
Hi I’m a beginner learning TouchDesigner for DJ visuals and projection mapping what should I focus on first if I want to work in live events and festivals in the future?

Hi everyone,
I’m building a TouchDesigner project that’s more like an interactive PowerPoint/kiosk than a game.
I understand the basic idea of using a Constant CHOP as the current slide/state and switching the visual outputs with a Switch TOP or Cross TOP.
What I’m unsure about is the best way to handle the buttons and panel interactions. The slide visuals can fade in/out as TOPs, but Button COMPs / Panel COMPs don’t really transition the same way. I’m worried about hidden buttons still being active underneath, or slide-specific interactions staying live when that slide is no longer visible.
What’s the best-practice structure for this?
Should each slide be its own Container COMP with its own buttons inside, and then enable/disable Panel Active based on the current state?
Also, does anyone know a good tutorial or example project for this kind of interactive kiosk / slideshow / state-machine setup?
Thanks!
Hey everyone,
I’m opening the beta for FieldLux, a projection preflight tool for checking projection setups before install.
It is not a media server or mapping replacement. The goal is to help review projector placement, throw, lens shift, surface coverage, lux distribution, overlap, and possible risk areas before going on site.
For the next 3 months, all features are free after sign-up.
Over the last month, I’ve been improving FieldLux based on feedback from Discord, Reddit DMs, and early testers. I’m keeping it free during open beta because I want real workflow feedback from video engineers, projection techs, media server operators, TDs, and installation teams.
Current features include:
- Real projector, lens, throw, and lens-shift controls
- 3D model, room, surface, photo, and LED wall import
- Absolute, normalized, and deviation lux heatmaps
- 13-point lux diagnostics, hover lux, pixel density, and lens view
- Multi-projector overlap review
- PDF export, cloud share, and read-only client viewer

I’d really appreciate any feedback on what feels useful, confusing, or not trustworthy yet for real production work.
Hi!
After playing for a while a friend and I recorded a techno session using the orbbec femto mega in touchdesigner. If you want to see whole session its here https://youtu.be/qPUr4lPUDNg if you go in there please visualize it in hdr :)
Hey everyone,
I’ve been learning TouchDesigner on and off for a while, mostly through random YouTube tutorials, but now I want to approach it more seriously.
My main goal is:
VJing / live visuals for parties
interactive installations or immersive setups for events
maybe projection/reactive stuff later
The problem is that I don’t have a huge budget for expensive schools or mentorships, so I’m trying to understand what realistic learning paths worked for people here.
What was YOUR learning track like?
Did you follow a structured course?
Did you just build projects and learn from docs/tutorials?
Any YouTube channels or affordable courses that genuinely helped?
Also:
what do people think about Interactive & Immersive HQ and their subscription courses?
Are they actually good/value for money, or would you recommend learning from independent artists/professionals instead?
If independent creators are better - who would you recommend specifically for VJ / interactive event work?
Would really appreciate honest experiences, especially from people already doing real gigs/events with TD.
P.s. I’m from the middle of nowhere :)
