I'm so excited to launch a new free open-sourced MediaPipe plugin for TouchDesigner that I worked on in collaboration with @domisjustanumber.
Link 🔗 to the tutorial + component is in my bio on YouTube
Currently it supports face, hand, pose and object tracking with multi-person face detection, object detection, and image segmentation / background removal. The plugin is GPU accelerated and works on Mac and PC with no installation. We're so excited to see what you will make with it. 😄🎉🎉🎉 #TouchDesigner #MediaPipe

Feeling so greatful to have the opportunity to do an AV performance in Rome as a part of @romenewmediaweek.
I got my start creating live-visuals because of music and for years I’ve focused on visuals. This what such an increible moment revisiting what got me into making visuals in the first place.
This was my first time performing with all my own original music. I developed the whole set in @bitwig and real-time visuals in @touchdesigner. Some of the pieces I developed as audio-visual instruments allowing me to play the visuals and audio together. Some parts started as songs that I created visuals for and others were visuals that I created music for. This was such an incredible sandbox to experiment and I’m so looking forward to expanding on it and doing more performances.

Genuary Day 16: Order and Chaos
I wanted to see what would happen if I ran object tracking with my new YOLO plugin for TouchDesigner. I tracked objects from two video feeds and let each feed paint layers from the other. Eventually, it became Bird Paints Car Paints Bird. Hope you enjoy my silly experiment.
The Yolo plugin is available on my Patreon for anyone who wants to experiment.

Genuary Day 15: Invisible Object with Shadows
Had a lot of fun playing around, creating procedural stereographic projections with POPs. Took a lot of experimenting, and @sarv.vj’s new 360 Shadows for Point Lights ended up saving the day, making it work. The built-in shadows would clip before the light source could get close enough to the object to do a proper projection. Hand tracking done with the MediaPipe plugin co-created by myself and @domscott.art

Genuary Day 14 Prompt: Everything fits perfectly
It brought me so much joy figuring out this song was in my favorite key to play on the keys. Shout out to @function.str for the chromatic distortion component that really tied together the lighting on this.

Genuary Day 13 Prompt: Self Portrait
I’ve been wanting to experiment with @josefpelz’s point relax tool and finally got around to it. I’m doing a weird workaround from SOP to distance field to POP with T3D, but it’s fun to have the levels of detail.
