TouchDesigner Starter Bundle – Winter 26/27

Beginner Class: October 20, 2026 – February 2, 2027
Intermediate Class: February 9 – March 30, 2027

TouchDesigner Beginner + Intermediate
One season, both classes

This bundle combines the two TouchDesigner classes of our Winter 26/27 season. You start with the Beginner Class in October and continue with the Intermediate Class one week after it ends, both led by Nima Gazestani.

The Beginner Class takes you from your first slider and button to feedback loops, 3D scenes, particle systems, instancing, point clouds and POPs, with first introductions to GLSL and Python. Lessons are pre-recorded and released weekly, and a live group consultation every Tuesday is all about your questions and ideas.

The Intermediate Class builds on that foundation with eight live lessons on more ambitious projects: advanced sound reactivity, modular tool design, computer vision, working with external devices and data, and preparing work for live performance and installation.

The bundle includes the Guided level only

In the Beginner Class, the bundle gives you the Guided level: all 12 lessons, released weekly with the cohort, plus the weekly 40-minute live group session.

Coaching and Mentoring (the weekly 1:1 consultations) are not available in the bundle. If you want one of them, please book the Beginner Class and the Intermediate Class separately.

Student, Professional and Company prices follow our fair pricing model: choose the tier that fits your situation.

Bonus: $200 off your TouchDesigner license

The Starter Bundle is a big step towards a licensed TouchDesigner setup. Derivative’s Training Investment Discount gives first-time customers $200 USD off a TouchDesigner Commercial or Pro license (Regular or Floating Cloud) once they have spent $600 USD (roughly €550) on TouchDesigner training at an approved provider within five months — and The NODE Institute is one of them. Your bundle invoice counts, and so does any other NODE TouchDesigner course you take in the same period.

Once you’re past the threshold, email us at info@thenodeinstitute.org with the subject “TD Discount” within 30 days and we’ll send you the link to Derivative’s form. New licenses only; Educational and Player licenses are excluded. Details in our FAQ.
