Recording available for access for one year after purchase

TouchDesigner boasts an extensive Python interface for expressions and various scripting tasks. Even if you don’t plan on it, you’ll end up learning some Python while building your visuals! However, copying and pasting code will only take you so far.

Understanding how to use Python in TouchDesigner to solve problems more efficiently and elegantly can lead to a better node architecture and more creative possibilities, as well as allowing you to build your own custom tools. You can also bring in outside Python libraries to expand what you can do with TouchDesigner beyond its base features.

In this module, led by Daniel Molnar, aka Function Store, you’ll learn the basics of Python—one of the most popular and easy-to-learn programming languages available—and how it’s used in TouchDesigner, when it’s best to use it to solve problems, and how to add more features to TouchDesigner using Python.

After the live lesson you will get access to the recording and the workshop files for one year.
