Free TouchDesigner Project: Particle SOP, Feedback Glow and Mouse-Attracted Particles (Yasushi Noguchi)

Overview

Yasushi Noguchi publishes this Japanese class handout on particles in TouchDesigner, built step by step around the Particle SOP. particleIntro.3.toe emits particles from a randomly sorted Line SOP with turbulence, particleFeedback.2.toe renders them as point sprites with a Feedback TOP glow, and particleMouse.5.toe pulls them toward the mouse with Mouse In CHOPs, a Metaball SOP and a Force SOP. A fourth file, particleMouseCollision.5.toe, makes particles scatter when they hit an object.

Each .toe is a small free zip download on the class site.
