Yes! Assuming you've got a Windows machine, TouchDesigner still natively supports the Kinect V1. The CHOP channel names might be slightly different, but you'll have access to the same skeletal tracking features that are required for this tutorial

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching :)

One option is to set up a second Geometry COMP containing a Sphere SOP, and then control the Transform parameter of that Geo COMP with the same CHOP channels we use for the transform1 SOP in the video. This will create a sphere in the scene which is aligned to the movement of the metaball, but also allows you to make further creative decisions like scaling or modifying the geometry, as well as applying a texture. Hope that helps!

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ aww thank you so much for answering back. I tried this and it worked perfectly! Now I will implement it into my other project. Thanks again and I hope you have a wonderful day!

One thing to check: have you set the _Target TOP_ parameter of the Feedback TOP to *comp1* ? If the _Target TOP_ parameter isn't set, the network won't generate feedback

Sounds like a useful application of the effect! Thanks for watching :)

For sure! You could actually set this up with just a few changes to what we build in this video The Kinect or Kinect Azure CHOP provide CHOP control channels from the Kinect’s body tracking functionality. There are a lot of channels coming from the Kinect, so it's best to use a Select CHOP to isolate the tx/ty channels for the left/right hand that you want to control the effect. Then, if you replace the CHOP channels coming from the Mouse In CHOP with these tx/ty channels, you can use the Kinect to control the effect. You may need to add a Math CHOP after the Select CHOP to adjust the range of the values coming from the Kinect, but otherwise it should work just fine. Hope that helps!

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ Thank you for the informative reply!

For sure! You'll need a virtual loopback MIDI port software to do this, like loopMIDI: www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ Thank you !! Can you make a tutorial video related to this?

Thank you! Cheers! 🙂

Great question -- you can use the _CHOP Reference_ option to make the connection. Relative CHOP Reference has been replaced in newer versions of the software. The _Justify Horizontal_ and _Justify Vertical_ settings are greyed out in the newer version because they are not used in any of the Pre-Fit Overlay modes besides the _Native Resolution_ option. If you want to have access to those settings, change Pre-Fit Overlay to _Native Resolution_ . Hope that helps!

There is no right answer here (and no perfect laptop, either): it really depends on your budget and needs. If you're just learning TouchDesigner, the right answer might be the laptop you already have -- there's a lot you can do without a high powered computer. Laptops tend to prioritize thinness or performance, usually not both. It's worth thinking about what your situation requires: a laptop that is lightweight and easily transportable, or a laptop that's really powerful and intended to be a desktop replacement? If you're looking to utilize the recent Nvidia Maxine series of operators, they require a 20, 30, or 40 series Nvidia RTX graphics card, so that could be a good place to start. Here are a couple of forum threads from that past few years that bring up some good considerations: forum.derivative.ca/t/equipment-recommendation/238970 forum.derivative.ca/t/2022-laptop-recommendation/253820 forum.derivative.ca/t/2022-laptop-3080-ti-or-3070-ti/259321

Replied to this question on the _Position Data from Depth Map_ video: ua-cam.com/video/FMCGBWLopaA/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared

Here are a few things to try: - Make sure you've updated to the most recent version of TouchDesigner. The ZED operators had a major overhaul with the TouchDesigner 2023.11290 release. - Make sure you've updated to the latest drivers for your GPU - Make sure you're running version *4.0.7* of the ZED SDK, which is the version that TouchDesigner was last upgraded to. If you're running 4.0.8 or beyond, you'll likely run into issues.

Oh, I solved it. The Render button of 'geo1' had been turned off, I turned it on and the problem was fixed.

Glad to hear you were able to solve the issue!

Thanks for sharing! Might be helpful for anyone else running into the same issue.

Check out this forum post for some recent suggestions for improving performance: forum.derivative.ca/t/fps-when-activating-vr-instantly-drop-from-80-to-36/484018/2 If that doesn't end up solving your issue, it's worth posting about it to the forum. It could be related to the way the project is outputting the content (as mentioned in the post above) or the graphics configuration of the computer. Hope that helps!

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ this is my post haha thank you tho very much!

No problem, thanks for watching!

Great tip, thanks for sharing! :)

Hey! It should be working now, try this link: interactiveimmersive.io/lp/hq-pro-full-trial/

You can access the MacBook webcam using the Video Device In TOP. It should automatically pick the appropriate driver. Here's some more info: docs.derivative.ca/Video_Device_In_TOP Hope that helps!

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ Thanks a lot for your reply! I will look into it!

Pretty interesting, right? Coming from Houdini you can really see where a lot of TouchDesigner's workflow originates.

If you're looking to render to a movie file, you'll need to work with Unreal's Sequencer and Movie Render Queue. Check out this section of the Unreal Engine documentation for more info: dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/cinematics-and-movie-making-in-unreal-engine

Great suggestion! It's working on my end, much simpler than working with the range -- thanks for sharing! :)

The Math CHOP can help with this! Once added to your network, the From Range and To Range parameters to change the input/output range of the signal.

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching :)

ABSOLUTE MUST HAVES!!! Thank you!!!

Great question! In the newer version of particlesGPU, head to the Forces page, and then click on the _Rotation Type_ parameter dropdown. "Face Camera" will be the third option in the list. Hope that helps!

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ Thank you very much!

this connects direct via ?port? or use a pi+touchscreen portable?

Yes! However, you will have to make a slight change to the approach. Add a Level TOP prior to the Channel Mix TOP and set the Invert parameter value to 1. This will invert the white areas to black, allowing you to use the Channel Mix and Threshold TOPs to process the image. Hope that helps!

Hmm, I would double check that you've got the two boxes set up correctly. Here are the settings that have been changed: _Box 1_ Size: 1 1 2 _Box 2_ Size: 0.99 0.99 2 Center: 0 0 0.1 Box 1 should be connected to the first input of the Boolean SOP, and Box 2 to the second input. With the Boolean SOP's Operation parameter set to A minus B, you should see the same results as the video. Hope that helps!

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ Ah, I missed the center measurement on box 2! Thank you!!

Since you're receiving a syntax error, the first thing I would check is that you've got the code written exactly as _uniform float uRmb;_ Spelling mistakes, extra characters, or a missing semicolon at the end of the line can generate a syntax error. Start there and let us know how you get on!
