Touchdesigner Tutorial - Advanced Pointclouds Manipulation 

if anyone is trying to do this with PLY files, all you have to do is in the pointfilein TOP set RGB to X Y Z and in pointfileselect set red green and blue to red green and blue, i was able to follow the rest of the tutorial and recreate everything without a text file as the source. awesome tutorial!

gotta say that i love your tutorials, thanks!

Thank YOU for this! I learned more through this puppet tutorial than I have asking questions and paying a particular TD group 😑 Please put together more photogrammetry related tutorials - suggestion: interactivity using Kinect, Audio, MIDI 🤪 ☮

The little break at 3'46 is a nice moment of fresh air. Joke aside, I've just re-posted that tutorial on some Houdini users groups, as I feel like many concepts you're developping here can be applied in VOPs with very little adaptation work. Awesome job Bébert ! Love you pal

awsome, will try this when I got time !

Finally someone explained these concepts properly. Thanks! I enjoyed the smoke brake also haha 🍀

This is fantastic, thank you!

You got my sub when you took your short break. ... and your TD tutorials are dope too. 😁

I was not a fan of the robot voice at first, but the tutorial is really solid!! Looking forward to the next one :)

just a note, make sure your constant top in the BASE is set to 'comp with input' on the output. didn't notice mine wasn't by default and spent ages trying to find problem elsewhere. Thanks for this tutorial. Bit too advanced for me right now as new to point clouds but got a few cool things out it!

Mind blowing, thanks!

Love this

This tut is so wild good, thanks so much!

This is way tooooo good!

Hi, great tutorial Thank you so much.

amazing, thank you very much♥♥

Man I love you

thanx so much!! cheers!

This is so much fun, thank you. 🙏🏻 I always forget the render flags tho 😭

nice content, sir

tutor god

ça ma tellement surpris de voir l'esplanade des Nefs au début de la vidéo :)

Hello! great tutorial! can you make something similar for begginers? thanks!!!

Lov U ❤

Awesome video thanks for making this lovely one :) i am learning touchdesigner and learning from you guys so much thanks a lot for making this :). i was try to make point could from image with point clouds tool in touchdesigner from left side with depthprojections and pointgenerator can i do that same kind of thing how you doing in this video with that ? thanks again what you doing and making our learning easy best wish for you have a great and safe time :)

Hey really cool tutorial and thanks a lot for it. I have a question, would it be possibile to use pointcloud from a kinect azure and manipulate it with the techniques you show in the video? or it just works with photogrammetry file?

is there somehow a way to use ply istead of txt or xyz?

Thank you for the tutorial, im a beginner and i have a question in 2:17, shouldnt we divide it to 256 since RGB has the value from 0 to 255?! thanks!!

🎉

Hey what s up? I also wanted to ask you the process that you have done to generate the lines, between the points clouds that are similar to spider webs. Thank you so much

tried reality capture but it was not free, couldn't get the text file of 3d image and when I tried directly importing the 3d model couldn't get the colors

Sorry for the silly question, but after I connect the threshold with the beat chop the animation doesn't go through the point cloud. It rather starts and holds the "new position" and it restarts from 0 again. I tried changing the beat chop to an LFO but didn't change. SO I guess something in the threshold chop or the constant? Thanks in advance for the amazing tutorial, its super inspiring!

Thank you for the tutorial, im a beginner and i have a question in 1.17, what do you do at this moment ? what is that program name? do you convert a photo to text?

could you please provide more insights into the logic at 7:35? the previous example (defining selection via axis) is appearent to me, but im having troubles comprehending the metric you used there. a) you create a constant top with a value of 1 "that will be used as the center point", correct me if im wrong but wouldnt the center point be 0 for each channel? b) youre substracting the matte with the initial input, to get the difference between 1 and initial data (R-1, G-1, B-1), effectively creating (3?) vectors pointing from original color to white. c) you lost me at the 3D pythagorean theorem part. in mathematical terms your operation equals d = sqrt(a^2 + b^2 + c^2). are you calculating the magnitude of change the length of an imaginative diagonal line? (chat gpt said this: It's more accurate to say that it represents the "magnitude of change" rather than the traditional "length" of a vector. This is because the original vectors were created by subtracting from 1, not from the origin (0, 0, 0).) i figured it would be wise to consult the person who came up with all of this and explain it to me in a human way. thanks.

Are there more tutorials in your Patreon?

Where can I find a bank of the .txt file that I can download for free?

I am not able to get my ply's into TXTs or XYZ's is there a method you advise? Maybe I do not start from PLY? I am getting my point clouds from luma doesnt offer xyx or txt as export option, only obj and ply

id tried to make this whit an obj file and then going to blender to export as a xyz but dont give me any color or position its really necessary use capture reality on this right?

I have no idea what you are doing at 3:14, when you add the camera viewport. I cannot get it to work from here.

does any one have any mac friendly suggestions for photogrammetry/LiDAR programs that export to .txt? I'm at a loss

Hello! I added the add and convert sop, but I'm not seeing any points in the geo comp... Any clues? I'm using an xyz file and I followed your instructions...

Do you know any site with free pointcloud txt samples so I can play with, without need of moving my lazy ass to generate my own files ? I looked google but no luck there

can't get this to work with an XYZ file

Hi, I did same with u but when 3:32 i cant render anything ,thats why???

Wait est ce que t'es de Nantes ?

How tf do you even come up with this

ive got the meshroom software because its free but the file extension its only obj, there is a way to make this same thing on obj? or its only for (txt. xyz. files)? in such case exist the possibility to turn obj into txt? i hope you understand my silly question tysm
