Overview
Bryan Chung of HKBU's Academy of Visual Arts maintains this teaching repository on using Python libraries inside TouchDesigner, updated in May 2026. The 59 .toe and 6 .tox files cover Script TOP/CHOP/SOP/DAT demos, OpenCV filters (Canny, background subtraction, line-segment detection, oil-painting and pencil-sketch), MediaPipe face detection and face mesh as TOP and SOP, Dlib face detection, FER+ emotion recognition, 2D/3D AR samples, audio recording, JSON DAT and work-queue examples, each tied to a magicandlove.com post.
It is a free direct download from GitHub with no license stated; a webcam is needed for the vision examples, and the Python packages and model files must be installed separately.
