Touchdesigner is a software to develop interactions between electronic/digital media and objects based in time. It uses flow programming, meaning that instead of creating programs with textual language, networks of symbols that represent causes and effects are connected through nodes.
To add a node in touch designer, double click or hit tab.
Boxes that represent the aspects of the relevant causes and effects in the project are called generators. They are organized into categories within the software:
TOP: texture operators
CHOP: channel operators (which relate to 'flowing' data that might emerge from sensors or functions)
SOP: surface operators
MAT: materials
In the menu that contains all of these categories, darkly shaded boxes are generators, which create data themselves, and lightly shaded boxes require a form of input.
Palettes are pre-made networks that allow the manipulation of certain complex tasks without the need to create a mechanism for doing so from scratch.
