Hello
I stumbled upon a TouchDesigner sketch on Instagram
https://www.instagram.com/p/B4JJPBUHkFf/
I’ve tried to recreate it the best way I thought to do it, but I keep stumbling into new problems.
My basic idea is to take some footage in a TOP, trace it in a SOP, and making a hole in a grid, then instancing that in z-axis. But that didn’t work out. I tried alpha map on a phong, but it wasn’t actually transparent (I couldn’t see the instances behind the first). Now I’ve ended up trying to use a box with a copy and shrinking each copy, to get the tunnel effect. But I can still see the back of the boxes, so it doesn’t feel like the instances are shrinking the way I’m thinking them to be.
Also the color ramp doesn’t go full spectrum in the instances.
I’m attaching my work so far, for you to see my process.
I’ really appreciate some help at this point!
Thanks!
