Blob Tracking Effect Tool for TouchDesigner

[@hellohogo]

insanely valuable for patreon

[@DeanCheesman]

Thanks!

[@ngreva]

Thank you Dean!

[@PondWindow]

how do you create a mini cam on your down left???

[@DeanCheesman]

Ha. I just do a Video Device In top, crop it, resize it, then right click and hit "view". Nothing fancy.

[@user-lc5ms9gy3e]

hey dean is it possible for the boxes to be rectangles rather than squares?

[@user-lc5ms9gy3e]

would be cool to have each blob/box take on a new dimension, great work btw :)

[@DeanCheesman]

Definitely possible. You’d need to go into the tool and add a second scale dimension to drive the scale x/y.

how did you do the tracer effect with the blobs in the beginning ?

[@DeanCheesman]

Check out my other tutorial about doing that: Trace and Blob Tracking Effect with TouchDesigner kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6C2h5tma7KsicU

@@DeanCheesman thanks , i just subscribed to the patreon for the tools

[@DeanCheesman]

Awesome. Thanks for the support. Tag me in anything you make with it so I can see and reshare!

Does it work on the 2022 version? I downloaded it and it seems like it doesn't but maybe i am just doing something wrong? Would love to be able to increase the amount of boxes, and the other custom settings. Im a total beginner, but hope to learn. Also why can't i change the threshold of your blobtrack project. Subsribed to your patreon. :)

[@linasjesaias]

and one last question how do i make the squares/rectangles skinnier? they are a little fat for me

[@DeanCheesman]

I'm hoping to add some updates to the tool very soon. Splitting out the x/y scale could be something I can add to that. You could use the chop output from the tool to create your own boxes with instancing and make a more random xy scale.

hi, what to do if I have only two blob numbers, do I have to buy a commercial licence to get more numbers?

[@DeanCheesman]

This tool doesn't use the blob tracker TOP. To get access to it you can support me on Patreon or wait until I do a tutorial showing how I did it. :) The trade off with my tool is you won't get accurate bounding boxes on blobs.

@@DeanCheesman I´m a student getting into touchdesigner rn, is there any update on the tutorial, because I would love to learn the way this works
