Pre-release is expected by the end of summer and full release by January

Only if you have access to the pre-Alpha (which needed to be requested months ago), otherwise it will be in a pre-release by the end of summer (anytime soon)

You needed to request it months ago when first announced and could only access it if you had a Commercial License

Go to Preferences - TOPs - Viewer Background - Change to Black

Yes! The Noise TOP can be surprisingly useful for a number of effects -- sometimes a single operator is all you need 😁

So glad to hear it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

Thanks so much for the feedback, glad to hear you found it useful! We'll keep those topics in mind for future videos -- cheers!

Yes! You can make a CHOP reference from a channel in the MIDI In CHOP to the "Value" parameter of either the Slider or Button COMP to control it via MIDI. For the Slider COMP, you'll likely need to further process the CHOP data with a Math CHOP, as the slider requires data in the 0-1 range.

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ THANKS!!!!

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! :)

As far as I'm aware it should be the same with UE 5.4.2! That said, connection issues are a common problem with Windows and OSC. The official recommendation is to try disabling Windows Firewall if you're experiencing issues: docs.derivative.ca/OSC_Out_CHOP

No problem! Thanks for watching :)

If you use a pen tablet, it might be worth seeing if you're able to map the middle mouse button to one of the buttons on the pen (assuming it has more than two buttons for left and right click). Another option is to use the setting to use Alt+Right Click as an alternative for middle mouse click (available in the preferences window, and I believe turned on by default).

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching :)

I usually end up with a little bit of trial and error when going through this process to get things in sync. Listening to the audio and getting a sense of what sounds relate to which transients helps. Glad it's helpful!

Yes! You can use a Record CHOP to capture CHOP data over a specific period of time and use it later. Check out the wiki: docs.derivative.ca/Record_CHOP To see it in use, right click on the Record CHOP and click "OP Snippets"

Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Yes, hard to believe it's been around for that long! You'd be surprised how common it is to still find the Kinect v2 in use. Sometimes, having the dedicated sensors and well-tested and documented software support is beneficial. And the low cost is great for artists on a budget 🙂

Thank you! Glad you liked it :)

by grid animation, I meant grid made of triangle shapes

Unfortunately there's not a way to do this directly -- we're relying on the Limit TOP's quantize function for the rectangular grid, which is only going to produce squares or rectangles. That said, if you chose a square (1:1) aspect ratio for the effect, it might be possible to create a triangular grid by using a Transform and Composite TOP (though you'd have to generate a second Noise texture as well)

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching :)

Although possible, it's probably something you'd be better off trying to achieve with either TouchDesigner's Cube Map functionality (see the Cube Map TOP: docs.derivative.ca/Cube_Map_TOP) or potentially via geometry instancing. It's unfortunately much more complex than simply applying the same texture to all sides of the cube.

Great tip, thanks for sharing! Feedback is a lot of fun to experiment with 🙂

Thanks for watching! :)

It should be there! Double check that you've updated to the latest version of TouchDesigner. Also make sure you're looking in the Tools folder, which you have to select first in the top half of the Palette window. Once you've selected the Tools folder, you should be able to find the particlesGPU COMP about 3/4 of the way through the list (you may have to scroll). Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching!

@@TheInteractiveImmersiveHQ Really well explained and I got a nice result!!
