Simple Motion Visualisation - TouchDesigner Tutorial 55

In this TouchDesigner tutorial we're looking at a few simple techniques on how to capture motion with video and Kinect input and display it in a funky way. You can also use a Video Device In for the technique at 17:05 or simply use Nvidia Background if that's available for you.

[@MrBloodmonster]

thank god you are back! Best TD tutorials, keep going!

[@elekktronaut]

i was just traveling for a while 😌

[@MrBloodmonster]

@@elekktronaut deserved!

[@PabloLucio]

Yiiiiha

[@paxk.8624]

another amazing tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing 🙏

[@canerdeger60]

Great channel, subbed!

[@3xAudio]

amazing work my friend

[@lux8931]

Nice work thanks!

[@kaustik185]

Thought these were just wireframe straight lines (not my style) from the thumbnail. Glad I still clicked! Pretty spacey indeed.

[@jjsgametube7113]

Good for work !

[@bobsssch]

This is so cool! Now I want to learn TD! :)

[@ThEmArIS1]

It's amazing!

[@HarisCupina]

have u started jet ? :)

[@PALE1080]

hi, is this project file avaiable somewhere ? so i can tweak it for recurrent using ?

[@yan-mauricemcniven4226]

Oh this is great

[@user-co7zg1zr7g]

Thank you very much for the tutorial. Any tips on how to make with live videos? I have the noise glitches with 2nd feedback and I can't get the result that you have. Thanks

[@joshbaptista]

the Kinect silhouette is so dark so that if you have multiple people you can filter by luminance to get multiple people! ... though I've never gotten great use of that multi player index feature

[@mapleneck1520]

vielen dank!!!

[@AaronGNP]

It seems that the Keyboard In also doesn't work as described in the video. If you add it after the null/fbEnd, that seems to work just fine.

[@OlivierVerbeke]

Wich is the best practice to use Kinect with Mac osx. Wich Kinect is best ? How to connect to the Mac and does it work on Mac osx ?

[@vitorrizzato9536]

I'm having trouble whe applying edge. it does not fully isolate the edge, it remaisn with a black bg

[@cuncunatv]

is there a way to put a black background [[in the video setup section]] to our video because everytime I try to do so the background turns transparent :(( as my original video has a transparent background

[@unveil7762]

I guess rtxBG will give a better result by tracking the humanShape. If not force 32 bit and go higher with the gama. So you ll have more space between numbers and than the threshold can be more precise. Still waitng derivative to add maxime sdk(like the one in omniverseMachimna), so than… c u kinect… a webCam will do just fine.

[@elekktronaut]

Yea you're right. Still waiting for the day we can completely get rid of the Kinect..

[@abdulazis3858]

Can we use kinect xbox 360 for touchdesigner?

[@vendacious]

Yes. Kinect 1 (XBox 360) or Kinect 2 (XBox One) both work if you have a Kinect, the Kinect SDK and the USB/Power adapter that lets you plug them into a PC. I got the power adapter/USB on Amazon for the Kinect 2 for like $20 and a Kinect 2 from Goodwill for about $10.

[@oliviab9870]

Are you able to do this with a live camera?

[@IamwhateverIwishtobe]

Seconding this question! @bileam

[@k.2032]

Did you try it?

[@e_jmgs]

Yes, I did, but you need at last a good resolution from the camera, like a GoPro.

[@miguelanaya8005]

boss

[@user-tx8lj4dl3w]

I can’t clealy find the “kinect”? So i stopped at that time 🥲
