TouchDesigner 302: SOP on GPU - Geometry Shaders
We present video course "Geometry GLSL Shaders in TouchDesigner" by Stanislav Glazov. The course is based on long and intensive experience of trying to improve the complexity and quality of real time Graphics created in TouchDesigner
Who will profit from this course:
It's oriented to intermediate TD users with an understanding of the SOP concept and basics of the GLSL coding
Course Contains:
6 Hours of Video Recordings
