The aim is to create images that evoke different states of water and emotion for an interactive audiovisual work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sketch is inspired by the use of displacement in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crystaljow.com\/\">Crystal Jow&#8217;s<\/a> tutorial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5imhvNruZjo\">New Grammar of Ornament in TouchDesigner Pt. 2<\/a>. I realised I could use a similar technique with tiled circles to create a pattern that would look similar to the reflections in a pool or clear body of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to experiment using TOPs to make use of the Nvidia RTX4080 in my laptop. This video is made from two circles that are tiled and displaced with noise and a variety of image processing. Starting with the Nvidia background TOP I processed the video in to add the person into the image with displacement from a combination of the two circle noise displacements. The video ran easily on my laptop at 1920 x 1080 60fps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things To Do Next<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add control of the displacement parameters with the user velocity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Detect the proximity of two people and effect the colour as they get close.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Test with multiple people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add parts of the face when close to the camera &#8211; like dipping your face in a pool (from underwater).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>play with colour and diffraction\/rgb split.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sketches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This video documents the style experiments and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Water Experiments in Touchdesigner\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oHJ50atZI4c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Early experiment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/absurdinstruments.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/TDMovieOut.0.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43\" style=\"width:446px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m working on some sketches and visual styles for Flow a project with Georgie Pinn.
