Free TouchDesigner Lecture Examples: 121 .toe Files (Atsushi Tadokoro)
Original title: tdexamples (TouchDesigner examples for my lectures)
Overview
Atsushi Tadokoro (tado) of Tokyo University of the Arts publishes tdexamples, the TouchDesigner files for his course 'Media Art Programming I', updated in July 2026. The 121 .toe files (plus an MCP-server .tox) run from first steps (rotating a banana, image processing, feedback) through noise, movie playback, SOP basics, geometry instancing, POP introduction and 3D manipulation with POPs, audio-visual sound visualization, GLSL basics and GLSL MAT, MediaPipe computer vision and project structuring with Container/Widget.
All are free direct downloads from GitHub under the MIT license; POP examples need a POPs-capable build, chapter 11 needs the MediaPipe plugin, and the Japanese lecture notes are in a separate repository.
