Real-time visuals,
from nothing.

A hands-on 15-hour workshop in TouchDesigner — the industry-standard tool for interactive installations, live visuals, and generative art.

15 hours · 5 sessions No prior experience required Free licence available

A visual programming environment.

You build by connecting nodes — no typing code. Each node does one thing. Together they make anything.

1

Node-based

Drag, drop, connect. Logic lives in the wires between operators, not in scripts.

2

Real-time

Everything renders live — change a parameter and see it immediately. No render queue.

3

Multi-modal

Video, 3D geometry, audio, MIDI, DMX, sensors — all speak the same language.

      Used by
      Björk, teamLab, Universal Everything, Nike, Refik Anadol — and thousands of independent artists and VJs worldwide.
    

15 hours, five sessions.

Session 1 The Interface & Operators — TOPs, CHOPs, SOPs theory + hands-on

Session 2 Image pipelines with TOPs hands-on

Session 3 Signals with CHOPs — audio-reactive visuals hands-on

Session 4 Instancing hands-on

Session 5 Generative project hands-on

Skills built, layer by layer.

1

Orient

Interface, network editor, operator families. The logic of how TD thinks.

2

Process

Image pipelines with TOPs. Compositing, effects, and texture work.

3

Listen

Signals and data flow with CHOPs. Audio analysis as a live source driving visuals.

4

Multiply

Instancing: one geometry, thousands of variations driven by data.

5

Ship

Build and present a complete generative piece — from scratch, entirely your own.

Built for curious makers.

Participants leave with
