I make light do stuff using code.

Sometimes I get in the right state to add new stuff and sometimes I just trace and outline what's already there. It's sort of nice to be able to keep momentum without inspiration.

Until I run out of stuff to trace. 😐

New video is out!
Using the latest TouchDesigner release is fun and exciting but it's not always a good idea. Learn about how to make sure you're using the right version to avoid breaking projects and having to buy unnecessary licenses.

Apparently YouTube view counts can decrease. Maybe it's when Google detects that people have forgotten what they watched?

This one's from 2016, well into my grey scale era, which sort of continues to this day though sometimes I do colors now

I've been getting into spectral color fields. They've got so many colors, and spectra. Some additional clever commentary on what is essentially just a grid with some rainbow stuff.

Kind of like chromatophores but with less fluid.

The Artist / Developer Spectrum video is now out for public release!

TouchDesigner users tend to fall into a spectrum from Artist to Developer. Each style has advantages and disadvantages. The trick is to combine elements of both!

The sheer volume of art I've created and never shown anyone is staggering.
Not saying it's any good but there is a lot of it.

Does the concept of dog whistle communication still work anymore?
We can just search for any obscure word or symbol and find a thousand reddit posts about it.

There are conditions where I can spend hours editing video of myself.
But mostly it's super weird.

I'm not sure I can reliably produce dailies, but maybe like biweeklies of a continuous series of TouchDesigner experiments.
It would be a good structure to keep some sort of creativity flowing.
Right now so much of what I'm doing is building systems and tools, which I love. But it's different.

the reality is trump is definitely without a doubt going to try to install himself as president again in 2028 and the reason no one in the media is really saying that or taking him on when they say that is they know it’s probably over a 50% chance of it working and they want to be on his good side

From 2018, which is apparently 7 years ago which is bizarre. I was really into the "plexus" technique for a long time. This version used a geometry shader to generate the lines. With pops it's much simpler to set up. Might be time to revisit those old projects.

Somewhere in this UI is a tiny button indicating whether the currently playing track is a 'favorite'.
To whom it may concern at Apple, that button is like 2 mm on my 23" monitor. You can do better.

I love the moment where your code just starts doing the thing it's supposed to do

Gotta remember to stick in some rainbow spectrum stuff once in a while.

People wonder why I'm so insistent on 100% consistent, logical, and accurate naming of files and related stuff. It's because when you don't do that I have to clean up after you. Because similar doesn't count for code that's looking for things by name.
