Hey lovely folks. I recently stumbled upon this video by neurotypique, which emulates a datamoshing style using optical flows and feedback loops. I am trying to replicate this effect for a project, but I am struggling. Here is a preview of the effect, but since motion is a crucial part only a video can convey the context. To help me you’d probably have to check out the post I linked.
This is what I could gather from their Instagram post:
Follower: Are you only adding the optical flow as part of the feedback?
Neurotypique: pretty much yes!I use it as a displace texture in a displace TOP. It’s combined as Lighter color in a composite TOP!
I tried fiddling around in TouchDesigner myself and even asked on Reddit but I am none the wiser. I still struggle with more complex Operators like Optical Flow (or anything involving textures), so I’d really appreciate some help.
This is what I’ve tried so far:
As you can see I tried replicating the operators based on neurotypiques comments, but I am not the same effect. I have disable my camera input for privacy reasons, it is of course working.
