I make light do stuff using code. TouchDesigner = 🌠 RayTK = 🐙
Come say hi if you see me at an event! Same goes for pretty much everyone in the TouchDesigner community
This isn't RayTK. It's something new, something that has been consuming most of my creative time for the last 14 months. Details to come soon. @immersestudio.bsky.social @touchdesigner.bsky.social (Also bsky your video compression is very rude to my art) #touchdesigner #raymarching
Sometimes I like to keep things simple. Twisty shapes twisting, as is their tradition. Does it mean something? Maybe. Or maybe they just like twisting. #touchdesigner
I've been struggling to create anything that I actually like. So much of my energy is going into development projects that will eventually be pretty great but have a long way to go. So here are some line patterns. 😐 #touchdesigner
I made a pride flag generator for TouchDesigner! It's up on my patreon: patreon.com/tekt #touchdesigner #pride #lgbtqia
Blorptube says hi. Also it wants to know if you brought any snacks. Blorps need snacks. #touchdesigner #raytk
I can't come up with anything clever to say about this. So just pretend I did. #touchdesigner
It's been difficult to get into the rhythm of creation lately, at least for this sort of work. It seems like every major disruption of routine resets me and it takes time to get back into it. #touchdesigner #raytk
I just finished a week of on site production work and wanted to feel some creative satisfaction. Making color gradient backdrops based on someone else's creative direction for a performance is nice but it isn't as fulfilling as making my own blobby shapes. #raytk #touchdesigner
I've been really wrapped up in development work recently, and there isn't much I can share from that yet. So... Here's some squiggly shapes. I've said the same thing in posts countless times. I guess it's a pattern. #raytk #touchdesigner
It's nice to remind myself that I sometimes make things that I like. #raytk #touchdesigner #raymarching
Expanding on a remake of one of my early (I think 2015?) pieces using pops. It's from my "a bunch of copies of the same shape moving around" phase, which lasted kind of a long time. #touchdesigner #tdpops
Not sure what I was going for with this one. But shapes doing things, as they do. #touchdesigner
Trying out pppanik's latest tutorial. I highly recommend checking it out. I added some edge detection in the feedback loop and it sort of turned out like a physarum simulation #touchdesigner
I made this last week but neglected to post it. It's nice to review my output and sometimes find things I actually like. #raytk #touchdesigner
Took an old project from 2017 and rebuilt it with pops. Maybe that's the solution to my creative block. Just rebuild all my old projects and expand on them. #touchdesigner
When not at a computer I've been doing these recently. There's a sort of rule set to it restricting the available shapes and creatures. I haven't bothered to put it into words but there sure are a lot of eyeball people pointing at things. This is a closeup of an 18x24" board. #illustration
This one is from my "a bunch of shapes spinning" phase which lasted for perhaps too long. Anyways, shapes. They spin. #touchdesigner
Somehow I can't currently seem to make anything decent that isn't just a rehash of something I've already done. I'll figure it out eventually but it's frustrating. Anyways here's another hallway thing with stair blending! #touchdesigner #raytk
It feels a bit repetitive but I like it. I've done versions of this before. But perhaps uniqueness isn't really necessary. #touchdesigner #raytk #t3d (from @josefpelz.bsky.social )
Some day I'll get tired of iterated transform orbs and make something else, but that day is not today. Shape by RayTK, rendered with T3D from @josefpelz.bsky.social #touchdesigner #raytk #t3d
This one is from 2017 which is somehow allowed to be 9 years ago. I ended up using it as a mask in resolume a lot though that wasn't the original idea. It might be fun to try to rebuild it with pops... #touchdesigner
It's been hard to get back into creative flow after getting out of the hospital. So this one's from earlier. I do have another tutorial scripted out though so I can at least make that. #touchdesigner
I've been spending way too much time on editing for my next tutorial. It's nice to take some time to make some shapes do stuff. #touchdesigner #tdpops
