By leveraging GPU-powered physics calculations, we can animate thousands of hairs, leaves, stems, and other elements modeled as a series of segments, resulting in complex and natural behaviors.
With chainGpu, you’ll learn to create advanced simulations without writing any physics code. You’ll understand how to harness the tool’s strengths, such as force applications, and how to prepare your scenes to integrate seamlessly with other elements. Our focus will be on world-building: using Stable Diffusion to generate vivid environments and incorporating chainGpu-driven elements to achieve an organic feel and cinematic look.
The above video makes use of the volumetric lights as teached by Lucas Morgan in this video course (available separately). Please be aware that this is not going to be included in the scope of this course.

Requirements
If you are new to shaders, we recommend taking this introduction module by VanTa first.
- A recent PC or MAC Computer (discrete GPU recommended) with stable internet connection
- The latest build of TouchDesigner installed
- 3-Button Mouse recommended
