Exploring Real-Time GeoTIFF Integration and Spherical Projection in TouchDesigner

Hi, everyone!

I’m currently working on an immersive spherical projection mapping project that involves displaying real-time GeoTIFF satellite data and would love some insights from the community about TouchDesigner and its capabilities.

My Key Questions:

  1. Real-Time GeoTIFF Support:

How well does TouchDesigner handle real-time GeoTIFF integration?

Are there any specific workflows, scripts, or modules required to process and display live satellite data feeds (e.g., from APIs)?

  1. Spherical Projection Mapping:

How effective is TouchDesigner for multi-projector spherical projection setups?

Any tools or tips for geometry correction, edge blending, and alignment?

  1. Ease of Use for Beginners:

How steep is the learning curve for someone with experience in Unity and Python but no prior exposure to TouchDesigner?

What are some recommended rdesources or tutorials to quickly get started with these tasks?

  1. Other Considerations:

Are there any known challenges or limitations when using TouchDesigner for real-time data-driven projections?

Would you recommend alternative software for this specific use case?
