My First TD

Hey Guys,
Just got into TD and love it. Thought I’d post up my first official effect. Enjoy!

Very nice. Like a cosmic bowl of soup.
Are you using the Copy SOP to get the boxes in place? If so, Instancing at the component level will give you much faster performance.

Very nice look! Keep it up.

YEs I am just using a copy SOP. I did skim through some of the mutek material and literally saw a few seconds that you can instance which I will look into - but for now I just tried and tested how I can apply my existing understanding of the copy SOP and how far one can take it :wink: I pretty much got right to the edge of performance that’s for sure!

Here is an example of how to instance geometry based upon particle position.

Looks AWESOME!

What is your setup for the really accurate vocal reactions? I’ve been having a hard time grasping the best way to have my effects animate fluidly like yours and not be so stuttery when reacting to the waveform.
