Kicking off 2026 with a massive upgrade!
@touchdesigner evolves with the 2025 build and the introduction of the powerful POP operators,
@teacommunity_cn TEA Community has fully revamped our 5-day offline course to match. We spent a lot of time thinking about how to demystify POPs and combine them with practical cases for our community.
We decided to integrate POP into audio-visual interaction using Arduino, DMX LED strips, stage lighting, and lasers. From real-time visual creation to hardware control, we focused on breaking down key operators and Attributes. It was amazing to see even zero-basis students unlock a whole new world within TouchDesigner 2025!
Beyond the new tech, our Shanghai session kept the classic favorites: gesture interaction with Leap Motion & MediaPipe plugin by
@blankensmithing , and Generative AI workflows with ComfyUI. We also took the experience outside the classroom with a visit to the Deep Space 8K center at the
@westbundmuseum and a hands-on hardware tour featuring Lidar, EEG sensors, and AI interaction in our
@digitalfun_2019 studio.
Here’s to a fantastic start to 2026! We can’t wait to keep refining our class and bringing more inspiration and fun in the world of Touch!
