Hello. I recently learned about such a program TouchDesigner and saw what miracles the masters do in it. I would like to know if it is possible to somehow divide the video into many rectangular parts in it, so that a part of the video in each particular sector is played in the frame and so that everything is mixed up like an unassembled mosaic, but that together these elements, although randomly placed, make up a whole video that would look like it would be normal if this “mosaic” was assembled - I want to find out if the brain will be able to understand what is on the video if it is divided into 1000 parts and everything is randomly mixed up and whether the brain itself will be able to think in its head by connecting all the parts correctly and understand the meaning of what is happening on the video.
A couple techniques for breaking a video into parts:
-
write a glsl shader for glslTOP that moves stuff around. Pretty simple shader if you know GLSL.
-
create a bunch of cropTOPs (or better yet, use a replicator to create them algorithmically) then use a layoutTOP to reassemble them
Attached a super basic example of #2
