[For TD beginners] I will become a no-key frame animator
Animation with Touchdesigner
Suddenly, I have a question!
I want to animate with Touchdesigner! What is the first node that comes to mind when you think of
That’s right! Animation COMP , right?
(Sorry if you think I’m wrong.)
You can hit keyframes and animate as you like………………….
‘^’
What are you complaining about, miwa maroon!
Some of you may be thinking
Isn’t Animation COMP handy! That’s all you need!
I mean…
Yes, but it’s a real-time rendering application.
Don’t you want to hit keyframes?
So, this time, the guy who doesn’t want to hit keyframes with Touchdesigner makes a nice animation!
This is the installment of the “What’s New” series!
What we will make this time
The trees are getting bigger and bigger from the left side of the screen.
Touchdesigner makes it easy to create animations like this!
Let’s do it!

Again, we have prepared a tutorial that explains everything, so please click here!
In fact, in the video before this one, we also explained the Sprinkle SOP for randomly scattering trees.

Phaser
That’s all I want to explain this time!
You can use it when you don’t want to type keyframes by hand.
Phaser CHOP.
It is especially useful when you want to animate a large number of instanced objects, as in this case!
Phaser CHOP What is it?
Each sample is animated from 0 -> 1 while being shifted.
No, I don’t understand!
I’m sure that’s what you’re saying, so let’s have a look at it!
When you become proficient in using Phaser CHOP, you will be able to
You can do this and more.
You will be able to do this!
Incidentally, it seems that Phase CHOP was originally developed by a genius touchdesigner user, and it was officially adopted as CHOP~!
Amazing!

Parameter Description
Edge
You can change the slope of the values interpolating 0 ~ 1
Num Samples
This is the number of samples. As it is
Output format
Simply put, whether to output as a sample or
Output as a channel.
sample
channel
I guess we can separate them according to their uses!
input0 Time
The animation time can be controlled.
The default is a ramp of 4 second cycles of LFO.
input1 Reset
Replaces the channel to be output with the input CHOP.
It might be fun to try different things.
input2 Phase
It replaces Edge in the parameter.
Now that we’re here…
Just pass the Phaser channel to the instancing scale!
Oh, that’s so easy!
Apply to the instancing original SCALE
If you learn Phaser, you will be able to
I am a no-key frame animator!
(There is no such job title.)
Finally
Here’s the project file for this one!
If you find it useful, I would be very much encouraged if you would like to like it!
