[Walkthrough] Oscilloscopes, Everywhere [v1.2] - 29 ways to draw with sound on TouchDesigner

Oscilloscopes, Eveywhere [v1.2] is a collection of all the experiments with sound and geometry I've made throughout the years, gathered into one TouchDesigner project.

This walkthrough explores the entire anthology in real-time; 29 presets, and a much more intuitive interface. Connect your audio source, choose a visualizer, and watch your sound take shape.

Plus, I’m giving away one full copy of the collection this Sunday. To enter, you only have repost, and leave a nice comment on this post.

More experiments through the following.

My best CRT filter

You see how this looks, right?

I saw Primetime a couple weeks ago and could not get the cinematography out of my mind.
It looked so greasy and saturated and the CRT effects they used looked so good. You could see the individual phosphor cells on the big screen. I had to give it a go to try and get as nice a CRT effect as I possibly could. Combining a few CRT effect tutorials using instancing to render the phosphor cells as 3D objects to get realistic moire effects, raiding a github repo or two, combined with Frequency Modulation from decayingsun, and Sparkles_OX.tox from ordinaire.x, and the pixel sorting tool from milkorvaa. Logos & video both look really nice. It also feels a little foreboding & with Halloween upon us I’m thinking about classic horror movies. Let me know if you like the blue or the red version of the logo more and follow everybody on Instagram and TikTok and follow Caprock.av and just have a great day man fr.

[Release + Giveaway] Oscilloscopes, Everywhere - [v1.2]

29 experimental audio-visualizers, gathering the audio-driven geometries and oscilloscope studies I’ve developed throughout the years, in a single project.

This update brings [9] new visualizers, a unified interface, and individual controls for further intervening in how sound generates and transforms each system.

These geometries are also starting points for Oscilloscope Diffusion, now available through Uisato Studio: record your output and transform it into new materials, textures, and visual treatments guided by its movement.

Plus, I’m giving away one full copy of the collection. To enter, you only have repost, and leave a nice comment in this post.

Project files, plus the new Oscilloscope Diffusion, available through Uisato Studio, or Patreon.

PS: if you already own this project, all updates are included; you know where to find them!

I got balls

this is my latest version of the Verlet implementation - it now features collision handling using only POP operators, supports multiple passes, and runs at 60 fps with 32768 spheres or even more. Thank you massive for your support. #touchdesigner #workisplay #gnr8 #tdpops #verlet

So i might've gone a bit overboard..

All 100% real time and pathtraced

Implementation of a bunch of research papers

Still in early alpha

Please think about who you are talking to if your knee jerk is to criticise a project for using AI

I want to preface this with: I completely respect people's opinions on AI and I'm not trying to convince you to change your opinion, the goal of this post is just to advocate for some decorum in the community.

-

Yesterday, a post here about the Embody framework came up, and the discourse in the comments was pretty emblematic of a subset of users in this sub and I just want to address it and hopefully have a discussion for the betterment of the sub and community.

For context, it's a framework to externalize TD project settings so they are programmatically addressable , which includes by AI (1/3 of the framework seems to be AI focused).

This is a member of the TD community, who clearly cares dearly for the art form and community, this post and framework was not released by OpenAI, it just happened to take advantage of LLMs. The comments were very vitriolic against anything related to AI, as if the poster was committing some sin by releasing a free tool for the community.

This is like going into a post about a free photoshop plugin, and berating the author for the ethical practices of Adobe. Like it's fine to have an opinion on AI, it's fine to express your opinion on AI, but you need to realize that someone releasing a free frame work is not taking your job, is not subjugating creatives, is not burning the oceans. They are just someone trying to make a tool, that we all love, more accessible to more people.

The people using AI with TD are also not doing any of those things either, the people using these tools are trying to express themself just like you and I are. They are only choosing a different layer of abstraction, arguably a different medium. No one is getting rich off of TD, and the people who are using this as a source of income are realistically taking advantage of any tool they have access to.

Ok I'm going to stop there, I could go on, but I feel like it needs to be addressed that it's fine to voice your opinion on AI, but please be respectful to others and realize virtually everyone in this community is here as a form of self expression first and foremost.

Converting TOP into CHOP noise data

hi all! I was wondering if it would be possible to get the data from a visual effect in a TOP as a numerical data CHOP, and to turn that into “noise” CHOP so I can connect it to VCV rack.

Museum of All Shells

I recently made a video about the maths behind shell growth. The video was rendered in Blender (except the end sequence which was done in TD), but I do most my research in TouchDesigner.

If you want to recreate it in TOPs I highly recommend watching Paketa12's tutorial
If you want to do it in POPs with non-circular shell openings, there's a file on my Patreon. Or just follow along with the video and build it yourself :)

custom L-system with POPs in TouchDesigner

this is my approach to a recursive L-system-style subdivision. You can easily create structures like trees or feathers, with up to 2 million branch segments. I really hope you like this. Thank you massive for your support. #touchdesigner #workisplay #gnr8 #tdpops #poptober2026
