In case you thought me announcing this series on April 1st was in jest: it's a real thing, as evidenced by this post! (The real joke was starting a daily sketching practice on April Fools' Day 🙃) . This month's sketch is "Skull Pop", a POP based piece exploring material transparency. Find the project file on my Patreon (link in bio.) . The last slide is also my daily sketch: Plane As Day [ 2920 ] which demonstrates the systems use with an alternate 3D model. . About Sketch of the Month: each month I choose a project selected from my daily sketches to release as a bonus example. These sketches could be fresh from recent explorations, or deep cuts from my early TouchDesigner days. The goal is to show a bit of the process, while also providing an example with interesting techniques. .

I released this bonus interactive example to accompany my recent tutorial on using 2D textures to drive 3D systems. This uses background removal from an RGB camera as the source to extrude geometry in real-time. Find the project file on my Patreon (link in bio.) . Shoutout to @ojrgb who has been creating a diverse selection of refraction interactives lately AND @raganmd (feat. @radialbalance ) for the OG TouchDesigner tutorial on "Reflection and Refraction" (circa. 2019) Still key info, though my process has changed a bit since then 😉 . Slide two is an even sillier daily sketch: Danger Bubbles [ 2912 ] .

✨New TouchDesigner Tutorial✨ This one focuses on the Projection POP as a way to create real-time interactive 3D scenes that react to 2D texture inputs. It touches on the difference between screen-space and camera-space, and goes through the step-by-step process of creating interactive grass that grows from the surface of a twisted torus mesh. . Find the tutorial on YouTube or my Patreon (link in bio.) . Slide two is also my daily sketch: Extrude Eight [ 2911 ] .

Dot Monster [ 2932 ] an exceptionally flattering camera filter! Finding some weird and sometimes unexpected outcomes with this one. Though it's a bit out of season with the spooky factor...💀 .

Line Monster [ 2931 ] Plugging a camera input into this system is fun but sorta abstract! While it's semi-legible I felt like including the raw camera input would make the connection clearer... though the downside is my goofy movements are a tad distracting 😭 .

Spaced VI [ 2929 ] Slide 1: Adding spring system motion via POPX (via @_mini_uv ), for some subtle wiggles. Slide 2: Peak minimalism (for me at least.) No noise displacement, just driving the system with an animating circular ramp. .

Spaced IV [ 2927 ] still exploring this deceivingly simple looking noise & line system. It required some tricks to get the line spacing and distribution to function as it does. Still relatively simple but not pure noise displacement either! .
