Very much appreciate this amazing tutorial! This was witchery to me but hopefully I`ll get there with tutorials like this! Must be amazing being able to try out ideas with a skillset like yours!
Incredible! Thank you. I’m just learning Touchdesigner over the last few weeks. Tutorials like this are unbelievably helpful. I’ve been learning to use analog video equipment for well over a year, but there are very few tutorials, so it’s mostly experimentation with patching and trial and error.
yes I was thinking that - I wonder if it's adaptable to do that - presumably the flocking behaviour also has python code so it might just be a matter of cutting and pasting some code - there was a great tute on Boids in TD somewhere... ruclips.net/video/f2yOYmOgZEA/видео.html
HI! Sorry but I'm writing with sublime text and when I paste the write glsl on it, it highlights in red the return word. That wont let me the script work. Do you know what it can be? The view syntax is in phyton mode. Thank you!!!
This is awesome! How would I go about replacing the cubes with an imported 3D object? I was thinking it would be cool to have fish swimming around and I found a cool object online.
All good until I add Uniform float Utime; and add + Utime to the curlnoise and then everything stops. Sublime text is highlighting the return values. Really hope someone can help. I know this is a couple of years old. I haven't got a clue how to fix this.
Is there any chance you would be willing to share the file you ended up creating with this tutorial? It would really be helpful in my learning process. Thank you
Hello, this is so cool!! and I was following along fine until around 8:23 I get still have an error message after switching inputs to 2. The info DAT is saying this: Compute Shader Compile Results: Compute shader failed to compile with the following errors: ERROR: 0:18: error(#143) Undeclared identifier: nTDComputeOutputs ERROR: 0:18: error(#145) Left of "[" is not of type array, matrix, or vector: nTDComputeOutputs ERROR: 0:18: error(#202) No matching overloaded function found: imageStore ERROR: 0:21: error(#145) Left of "[" is not of type array, matrix, or vector: nTDComputeOutputs ERROR: 0:21: error(#202) No matching overloaded function found: imageStore ERROR: 0:25: error(#143) Undeclared identifier: color ERROR: 0:25: error(#202) No matching overloaded function found: TDOutputSwizzle ERROR: 0:25: error(#202) No matching overloaded function found: imageStore ERROR: error(#273) 8 compilation errors.

Oh thank you soooooo much for such a wonderful tutorial!! :) I've learned a lot from it, but I still have some little questions Is the quantity of the boxes variable? and can there be more than one box emitters? I will be really appreciated to have your reply :)
Amazing and deep Thanks! I am an absolute beginer and went thru the whole tutorial step by step. I did acheive alot but my blocks are not flowing. They do move in waves but they are anchored to the center. What could be wrong? Can I send you my file?
If you didn't figure it out I am guessing either some mistake in the GLSL python code (for example you didn't replace all the snoise with the TD version) or your feedback loop with the position buffer is not connected.
Hi! i'm looking a way to limit the noise in a box, i was trying with some rgb math but i end up always getting wrong results you maybe got some advices?
Hi, this is really nice. I got to the Life part, but the cubes aren't resetting for me. Do you know what could be wrong? EDIT: I Used 32 bit RGB instead of RGBA
Thank you so much for this. I am having an issue. For some reason, when I got to translate (r,g,b), nothing happens. I do not get what you get. It remains the horizontal rectangular block. Might you know why this is?
@@vernellenoel2995 At 9:10 posBuffer should be the same as select1 and iniBuffer. If it isn't, check if your shader looks like the one at 8:15. Another potential cause is a limitation of your setup, other users have mentioned they can't use compute shaders for some reason.
Hi Jingyi, this is not a real flocking simulation, so there isn't a specific parameter for cohesion. You can play with the values of uNoiseFactor and try to find something that works for you.
Ciao! Tutorial e progetto veramente interessante! Ho solo un piccolo grande problema: come editor del "glsl1_compute" mi esce il blocco note di Win e non la finestra del video !!! Ti prego aiutamiii
Ciao Enrico, my Italian is enough only for understanding the question, but not for replying. I use Sublime Text as my default text editor, and I've configured it to open GLSL files, that's why you see a different editor in the video.
hey! fantastic tut! do you know a method to point to the center of the geo with my camera? I want to use your tech in a setup ultrawide for 3 projectors and I need the cam point to the center of the geo (e.g. when you home the camera, but constantly), lookAt doesn't work cause it doesn't recognize the center of the curl instanced noise. I need to point to the moving center of it, any suggestions? thank you!
Hi Gabriela, it might be possible, but I think the network would end up very convoluted. In this case a custom shader is probably the clearest way of doing it. Even if TouchDesigner doesn't provide a Curl Noise operator at this point, it is already doing a lot in the background, for example making it quite convenient to change scale and rotation. The part that is left for us to do in GLSL isn't (hopefully) too scary.
Bruno Imbrizi thankyou for the info, it’s very helpful. Unfortunately my laptop’s gpu doesn’t support glsl in any kind of way... Hope I’ll find other alternative for my project . Wish me luck 🥳

Great video man, thanks for the shout out and glad you found the slides useful!
Amazing, thanks!
Interesting how much curl noise resembles flocking behavior. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! it's really helpful for understanding how GLSL top works.
really good tutorial, glsl is much lighter on gpu, very clear explanations.

thank you so much for all that effort and good documentation :)
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial!
Also, could you let me know how to add a cursor that attracts the curl noise and that glows red (lights up the background)?

Awesome tutorial, thanks!
thank you! my brain exploded a little :))
SAME. it is such a good tutorial but me being someone who only knows print("hello world"), I got bamboozled looking at the coding and stuff aaaah
Thanks for useful glsl tricks Man lml.

were you able to figure this out? I am having a similar problem
I have the same problem , blocks are rotating on themselves but they don't flow.
If you didn't figure it out I am guessing either some mistake in the GLSL python code (for example you didn't replace all the snoise with the TD version) or your feedback loop with the position buffer is not connected.
Is it possible that you might left your feedback1 Reset:On?

has anyone found a method outside of compute shaders for mac users by chance?
Thank you so much for this. I am having an issue. For some reason, when I got to translate (r,g,b), nothing happens. I do not get what you get. It remains the horizontal rectangular block. Might you know why this is?
Hi Vernelle, I'm not sure. What do you see in the viewer of your posBuffer? Also do you see any shader errors?
@@threedashes___ Hi Bruno. In the posBuffer is just a white rectangle. And the FPS is down to 3.

This is so cool tutorial but I am no idea about glsl, how can I learn glsl?
Bella bruno!!!
Amazing, thanks so much.
Could I ask why my boxes don’t show cohesion ? Which parameter effects that?
Hi Jingyi, this is not a real flocking simulation, so there isn't a specific parameter for cohesion. You can play with the values of uNoiseFactor and try to find something that works for you.

aww man says that I can't use a compute shader due to my gpu / os :( thanks though nice tutorial ! looks great
same for me, can anybody explain why?
on a MAC with an AMD gpu?
many thanks this is amazing
Thanks 🙏
You're amazing :)
That’s great,thank you
