Hi friends! I wanted to share this new open-source tool I’m developing for touchdesigner that transforms any input (text, image, 3d object etc) into drooping woven thread in real-time.
with features to support everyone from new TD users to advanced big brain wizards. these include:
-
support for TOPs, SOPs and POPs (including importing your own images/text from other software)
-
real-time, physics-based behaviour
-
control over how the threads are woven together
-
export the woven mesh as 3D OBJECT so it’s usable outside TD
-
multiple interactive modes with more to come
I’m a much more experienced with front-end (and a little full-stack) development compared to my TD experience, so porting this tool from the web to best utilize the GPU is still very much a WIP. So if you think you could help with this don’t hesitate to reach out!
I can’t include links in posts so please lookup “nicholaspjm” on all platforms (including github).
