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?
- 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.
- 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.
- TouchDesigner has a 3D engine, similar to houdini, so you can create 3D curves.
thanks
- 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.
