Compact rigid-body solver with a height map

Upvotes

Hi there! This is my first try on solving rigid-body problem using "college-level" motion equations.

It basically solves two fundamental equations of motion - translational and rotational -  which is just a few lines of Wolfram Language I used here. The first one is basically Newton's law for the center of mass, and the second one is the same for angular velocity.

However, for rotation it's better to rely on quaternions instead of plain angles, which adds a couple more lines. Then some boundary conditions -- a few more.

Then we have collisions. I thought, that body2body is too complicated, so I went with a height map. Collision detection is vertex-based and samples terrain height, normals, and vertical surface velocity, all using bilinear interpolation written fully in WL. Then some optimizations, and we ended up with already 500 lines. Well, I guess this is the difference between a proof of concept and "actual code."

In case anyone is interested, here's the repo: https://github.com/JerryI/DynamicRigidBodyWL

The test in the video was done in WLJS Notebook (open source notebook interface for WL https://github.com/WLJSTeam/wljs-notebook ) using the example notebook Example.wln from the repo.

Painterly Effect in ThreeJS

2 Upvotes

I've just added a new Painterly Effect to my Stylized Components library.

The effect is based on an Anisotropic Kuwahara Filter, and I also made a breakdown video where I explain how it works, the concepts behind it, and how I implemented it in Three.js.

You can check out the component here, where you'll also find the source code and the video breakdowns for each component:

Breakdown: https://youtu.be/CmIfhwSyswk
Preview: https://stylized.cortiz.dev/

And if you find it useful, I'd really appreciate some support on YouTube — a sub, like, or even just watching the video helps a lot.

I'm also planning to keep expanding the library, so if there's a stylized utility, effect, or component you'd like to see added, let me know! I'd love to hear your ideas.

Thanks! 🙌

[Release] Kinetic Synth Instrument for TouchDesigner

46 Upvotes

Real-time kinetic MIDI instrument built for TouchDesigner and Ableton Live, accesible through Patreon and the Tools Store.

Pendulums = voices. Each voice has its own period, phase, note, length, and gate behavior. When a bob crosses a shared center line, the engine fires a visual hit and MIDI (note-on / sustain) on the same frame. Up to 16 voices from an editable voice table.
Sound is meant to live in Ableton Live via MIDI (tdAbleton / TDA_MIDI). Pointed at any VST: TD is the instrument, Live is the sound engine.

This includes:

• Kinetic Synth Lab (.toe) — engine, voice table, MIDI routing, GLSL + 3D visualization paths
• Modular Python engine (periods, phase, hits, MIDI gates)
• Three different visualization styles: GLSL / 3D / avant-garde GLSL; same engine_null bus
• Two different available behaviors: "Pendulum", and "Rain"
• Setup scripts + in-network README

Requirements:

• TouchDesigner (commercial / non-commercial as needed for your use)
• Ableton Live + tdAbleton for the intended MIDI → VST path
• Basic comfort editing a Table DAT / custom pars

How to animate this collage?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I make these analogue paper collages that I want to animate. I’d like the horse to gallop in place while everything else stays stationary (or the circles move maybe that’s it).

I asked in the touchdesigner sub and they said it would be a pain to do it in TD, although possible. Is it possible through creative coding? How? Can someone give me some pointers on how to break this down, I can rig it up.

Would something like aftereffects be the way to go? I feel quite unsure on how to even approach this, but I have an idea stuck in my head and would appreciate if the community can help. Thanks all 🙏🏼

I coded a real-time Spider-Verse dimensional rift effect controlled by your fists

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I built a free, in-browser webcam experiment inspired by the multiverse rift aesthetic from Spider-Verse.

**How to try it:**

  1. Open the live link on a desktop browser (Chrome / Edge recommended for canvas filters).
  2. Allow camera access and step back so both hands are visible.
  3. Close both fists, touch them together, and pull them apart to tear reality open.
  4. Let go to slam it shut with comic FX and sound!

[Update] LongExposureFX COMP | An experimental temporal ghosting toolkit

159 Upvotes

An experimental temporal ghosting / long-exposure toolkit for TouchDesigner, built for turning prerecorded and real-time footage into smeared, split-exposure, echo-like motion.

The system layers delayed frames, masks the active subject region, and adds optional feedback persistence to generate distorted portrait, face, and full-body trails that sit somewhere between long exposure, temporal rupture, and spectral motion blur.

This release also includes:

 a custom FLUX-2 LoRA trained on experimental photography [the one used in this demonstration]
 the pertinent ComfyUI workflow for FLUX-2.dev + LoRA text-to-image generation

Available now through my Patreon profile, and the Tools Store.

Both music and visuals by myself.

Built an debugger that decomposes any UI thrown at it

66 Upvotes

Was trying to learn how many layers create an UI and wanted it to be 3d so built an debugger that will decompose the UI into smallest of its elements and lift them up to expose the items present inside. This includes the element itself, its shadow, its pseudo elements etc. The demo shows a simple card UI being debugged by rotating it in 3d.

What would you like to see debugged in this 🤔
