TouchDesigner intermediate level — by Davide Santini

From 11/04/2026 to 12/04/2026

This course explores advanced techniques for creating robust, high-performance live shows and multimedia installations ready for professional use. Over two intensive days, we'll work on complex video effects, scene and transition management, fine-tuning techniques to improve the quality of our renderings, and interfaces for real-time control.
We'll discover how to create effective pre-visualizations, use point clouds and particle systems, laying the foundation for the new POP Operators, automate processes, and optimize a system for a long-term installation. Designed for those already familiar with the basic concepts of TouchDesigner, this course offers concrete tools for developing complex projects, optimizing your pipelines, and working with a more professional mindset in the world of interactive digital art.
