GLSL Particle Simulations in TouchDesigner Tutorial
Whether you’re a programmer or not, GLSL can initially seem intimidating. However, in this video, I aim to make it less daunting. In this tutorial I show how you can create a visually stunning particle system with just a few lines of code, demonstrating that it’s not as complex as it may seem. Other topics covered in this video: * Flow Fields * Feedback Loops * Pixel/TOP math * Remap and Reorder TOPs * Instancing Networks By becoming a supporter on Patreon, you’ll gain access to the unique project file for this tutorial, along with all my other tutorial project files and custom-built tools. https://www.patreon.com/DeanCheesman.
