I’m new noob, I want to ask some question, thanks
1 Whether python in TD is not efficiency as Tscript?
2 Can I draw roto or mask in TD?
3 Have 3d curve in TD?

  1. I think it depends on the thing. I remember reading Python wasn’t as efficient as tscript, but I also remember that gap was either closed or for most things the difference was negligible compared to the ease of use of using Python.
  2. Draw in what sense? You could draw via a Photoshop In, or by hooking up a pen tablet, and programming a simple drawing setup, really depends on what you need.
  3. TouchDesigner has a 3D engine, similar to houdini, so you can create 3D curves.

thanks

  1. I use TScript unless it’s painful to do so, especially for parameter expressions. TScript can be more easily compiled into a more efficient internal representation, whereas python involves a larger interpreter (which can sort of do some compilation but isn’t as specialized)

The new Photoshop In TOP is great for making mask layers. Use a shape layer in Pshop and you get realtime updates of your work.
