LOPs are finally here [0.1.0 alpha] ! New @touchdesigner operator family 👾🧪🛸 LOPs - a new family of operators for TouchDesigner that utilizes LLM intelligence as a creative toolset and enables developers/artists to interact and build with LLM models beyond the standard chat interface. ~60 operators (fully documented): • LLM orchestration • Tool calling + MCP • Voice pipelines • Music + Image + Video generation • RAG / Information sourcing Live launch presentation + a hour-long deep dive tutorial are ready to view!
