I wrote some C++TOP, that works fine with TDesigner proX64 88 10700. But when i launch the same projects on TouchPlayer , there is a bunch of error refering to my C++TOP
error: bad node type found “TOP cplus plus”
Similar as when i load a project made with my Pro Key , and a non commercial version. Obviously i guess it is because the C++ CHOP/TOP are available only on commercial/pro version.
Is it a bug or we cannot defintively use TD project including C++TOP/CHOP on TouchPlayer ?
( i hope not ! )
TouchPlayer has the same feature level has the Non-Commercial license. It’s intended to be used for quick sharing of .toe files with friends/colleagues that may not have an account on derivative.ca and a non-commercial key installed.
Anyone that requires your custom C++ TOPs will need a Commercial/Pro license. There is no performance benefit from using TouchPlayer over TouchDesigner, so you should just always be using TouchDesigner.
Hope that helps.
In fact i was expecting a licence similar to MAXMSP, when you need to work and create a patch , you need the licence, so MAXMSP would be TouchDesigner. And when you need just to run your patch you need nothing , just use the Max Runtime ( Max RT would have been MaxPlayer )
