TouchDesigner Certification – Summer 2023
In addition to the 12 basic Modules, you will have access to individual consultations with the instructors and will - under their guidance - work on an assignment over three more modules. At the end you will deliver an interactive program, following a real life inspired brief to prove your learning progress and document you new skills. If your work lives up to the criteria, The NODE Institute will certify that you are capable of working with TouchDesigner on an intermediate level and add you to our list of recommendation.

In this session Bileam Tschepe is going to explore the idea of data sonification. This stretches from “classic” data sources like data bases and table data to more experimental approaches to turn visual Information into music.
SS23 – TD – 14 – Advanced Audio Reactivity
Learn how to analyse live or prerecorded audio and process the resulting data in meaningful ways. understand how you can send data to and from DAWs and get to know the new VST Host, that allows you to use virtual instruments right inside of TouchDesigner.
SS23 – TD – 12+13 – Connect with web technologies
Wieland Hilker will demonstrate how to acquire data from the internet and format it perfectly for the use with TouchDesigner. Learn about JSON and leverage Python to connect your projects to the internet and run a light weight webserver right inside TouchDesigner.
SS23 – TD – 11 – Using Arduino with TouchDesigner
In this module, Daniel Molnar will show you how to set up the connection between TouchDesigner and the Circuit Playground microcontroller. You will learn how to send acceleration and button data from the Circuit Playground to TouchDesigner, convert the data into chops and use the input to control a little, interactive game.
SS23 – TD – 10 – How to control and map Lasers
Moritz Hilscher will introduce participants to lasers as a creative medium, explain the dangers and conditions that need to be met to operate them and most of all, will show how one can control lasers from within TouchDesigner, opening up many use cases like laser mapping, audio visualisation and tracking.
SS23 – TD – 09 – Raymarching for the masses with RayTK
RayTK is a library of components that construct raymarching and other types of shaders with networks of COMPs using the network editor. RayTK allows artists without knowledge of GLSL to render raymarched scenes, using the familiar elements of the TouchDesigner network editor. Learn how to use RayTK from it's author, Tommy Etkin.
SS23 – TD – 08 – DMX, Artnet and LED Mapping
Learn how to leverage the lighting control protocols DMX and ArtNet to control virtually any light fixture and almost everything that can be controlled in a stage / event / show environment including custom LED installations.
SS23 – TD – 07 – Sequencing Shows and Installations
Sequence live or automated shows and installations flawlessly and orchestrate lights, multi screen projections and sound without hick ups and shameful moments of reboot.
SS23 – TD – 05+06 – Advanced GLSL Shader Programming 1+2
In this two session module, Josef Pelz is going to show how you can take inspiration from mathematical formulas and use them to create simulations and particle systems, that have some kind of behavior.
SS23 – TD – 04 – Do it in TOPs
In this module, Paketa12 will explain how he translates programming techniques from other realms into the world of TOP operators and give you the conceptual tools to implement this approach into your own projects.
SS23 – TD – 01 – Projection Mapping
In this module, Stefan Kraus will show how to use TouchDesigners mapping tools and introduce an advanced workflow, that leverages simulation and semi automatic mapping for even the most complex structures.
SS23 – TD – 02+03 – Introduction to GLSL Shaders 1+2
In this module VanTa explains the concept of GLSL shaders. It is intended for programmers, who want to deepen their understanding of computer graphics, for designers that want to learn how things are made, and for anyone curious enough to see the way pixels are drawn on a screen. Some experience with computer graphics will be useful.
