Modularized Learning:

While we recommend to follow the course through all of it’s 16 Modules from beginning to end –
not only because of the massive rebates we offer on the whole bundle, but also because the modules build on top of each other and cover almost every aspect, we feel is necessary to face the manifold challenges that TouchDesigner professionals will encounter, we know that not everyone can embark to an almost four month journey. That why you can either buy the whole course – or only the modules that you choose.
