Touchdesigner project: Photogrammetry scans of dying trees modulated by climate change data
This piece is called OVERTHROWN, and it combines scans of dead and dying trees I photographed with a drone in Galway, Ireland before rendering as 3D point clouds.
300 years of rainfall data indicating evidence of climate change is actvated by onlookers when they trigger a motion sensor (a Doepfer CV Theremin fed into an ES-9 and VCV Rack 2).
Thoundands of lines of data are used to modulate the lighting and other parameters to glitch and destroy the image. In person, triggering the motion sensor also activates the webcam and includes the viewer into the piece. I haven't included that here as it's more of a live element, but you can see it in action on the demo video on my channel.
I showcased this piece as part of an exhibition with Galway's West End Art Collective.

An audiovisual new media sound sculpture representing the impact of bipolar mania on the brain. Manic episodes are associated with memory loss, and here, a recording of bipolar symptoms is played on a tape loop dragging on sandpaper. The modified tape machine is controlled by a bipolar LFO signal which causes the tape to play faster during its peak ("mania,") causing the tape to degrade faster ...

Day 2 with the Soma Laboratory Pulsar 23 is opening up a whole new world of possibilities. This is a dawless jam with no post-processing or external sequencing, just the Pulsar 23. I'm running electricity from a cable through my body to trigger the hi-hats with different clock pulses, and the Shaos module is modulating the filter to get a breakbeat feel. It's also sequencing everything heard he...

Ambient modular synth improv with a Basimilus Iteritas controlled by a Malekko Voltage Block along with the Erica Synths Bassline module. Glitch art made using ffGlitch.
So nice! I'm also turning old trees into Gaussian splats but for creating a VR expérience!
@@Kzyon Ooh, that sounds really cool, I’d love to check that out!
Can I have a tutorial for this cool thing :((( . I can not find any tutorials to make the same effect
can you upload the tutorial for this cool thing
What was the app at 0:18 used to create the point clouds?
3DF Zephyr (i used the free trial. You could also use meshroom which is free, but a lot slower)
Edit was fire bro
@@keanodaley512 thanks!
So interesting. Ive worked in audio and film for many years and finally adding Touchdesigner to the tool belt. The photogrammetry aspect and interactive camera work really blows my mind. Great job
Thanks very much! It's such a great software, I'm only learning it still and finding that whatever idea comes to mind, it tends to be achievable in TD. I see you're into eurorack as well, they play very nicely together!
@@final_animal i am really enjoying TD so far and have barely got my feet wet haha. This is actually a second channel i started this year to showcase more of my audio experiments as my other channel “iamYork” was more visual but they tend to crossover each other now and again. Wish I had time to put out more content but between work and life it remains difficult to remain consistent for the algorithms to favour me haha. Either way I enjoy what you’re creating and looking forward to seeing what you create next

Haha how has nobody else said that to me, that's top tier!
Lovely work.
@@IwatoHyena thank you!
cool!
Its cool I guess 😎❤❤❤
This is very cool mate, wow
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the support!
@@final_animal I gladly support those who make music and like to experiment
I'm very impressed with your amazing work! Could you please tell me what equipment or software you use for 3D scanning?
@@jojohe5270 hi, thanks very much! I used a dji pro mini 3 to take photographs of the trees (really any drone with a decent camera would do fine for this use case, anything that captures 1080p would probably get similar photos) and then the free trial of 3DF Zephyr to render the photographs into point clouds. I was also using meshroom, am open source software similar to 3DF Zephyr. Great software and free, but about 5 times slower than 3DF Zephyr, either one of them can generate a point cloud like this. Supermarket Salad has a good tutorial on the touchdesigner process.
@@final_animal this really helps me a lot ! thank you so much
that might be the coolest thing I’ve seen all day
@@felixbeaulieu4367 thanks a million! I’m working on more music and visuals now
Thats actually cooler than cooll..damm
Thanks very much!
@@final_animal no problem bro but remember be when you get famous.......like when you got more than 10million subs...
@@FactKingdomia haha we’ll see how that goes, I’ll settle for being able to post some progress videos! Holler if you’re up to stuff and all
hermoso
Gracias!
cool!
great !
@@song_7175 thanks a lot!
great ! could u make tutorial of this ? this is too fast to follow it . i wanna do make this too !!
Hi, I'm glad you like the technique! Maybe I will be able to do a tutorial in the future, although as someone still learning the ropes, I'm sure I'm not going about things in the most efficient way here. I've only ever made a few TD networks before and had never scanned anything with a drone before this project, I just followed tutorials online, so would recommend that in the meantime. The process is scanning, then using software like 3DF Zephyr or meshroom to make the point clouds, then rendering point clouds in Touchdesigner (that search term will yield results, I believe the name of the main people who I followed for the point cloud technique was Wylfred Owlsey and supermarket salad), and from there just messing with the network in various ways through trial and error. The network I made is a bit of a spaghetti monster tbh haha, many many cables everywhere, it's a quite messy.
@@final_animal thank u for kind reply . im beginer so i just curious of it. i'll check ur recommend channel :) and i really hope to see ur tutorial in the future . good luck to you! thanks from korea.
@@chaenull3563 thanks a lot! Bileam tepesche and Acrilycode are also great (I recommend doing the Acrilycode beginners course before any other tutorials as they give exercises that force you to understand how to use operators in context, it’s the best one I think). Thanks again for watching! You can see the results of this process in my other videos ❤️from Ireland
What software is used to document the tree for 3D photogrammetry
@@schandrasekaran2810 I used 3DF Zephyr (free trial). Meshroom is free and open source, it would work fine as well. I found it to be much slower in comparison though.
Dope piece. Like the webcam and sensor integration.
@@2ClutchGamers thanks a million!
Beautiful work ❤
@@alexbrightlight thanks so much!
This is so good! and great visuals
Thanks very much!
Fucking amazing. Love it so much.
Thanks a million! That really means a lot, working on more stuff at the moment but it's been slow going, it's nice to know there's someone out there in the void lol. Thanks again!
Deadly!
Thanks man!
Awesome music and video artwork. Beautiful and conceptual.
Memes and beats? You got a lot of facets
Thanks Devin! I am multifaceted, there are at least two totally unrelated facets to get in on
@@final_animal really digging both, keep up the great work
Yo awesome!!!!!!! You're terrific at these dark and moody atmospheres. Love that you're bringing some of the vocal stuff back too. Need more of that irish/gaeilge rap! :)
Hey, thank you so much! I meant to respond this earlier. I really appreciate that, working on some more hip hop stuff now so I'm glad there's at least one person into it haha -- cheers!
So great ❤ 👏
Thank you very much for listening!
Great stuff pal 😊
Thank you chica!
Very nice visuals
Thanks!
Awesome demos!
Thanks Röss! Hopefully going to release more soon, in working on making longer pieces at the moment
Niiiiiice!
Thanks!
Are you on Spotify?
Hi Brian, I'm not actually! Hoping to fix that soon, I just want to finish some material in working on first so it's not just short clips. I have more stuff on Instagram than CZcams, but graduating to Spotify soon. Thanks for asking!
@@final_animal nice, I like your sound!
Awesome tune, but the visuals were what sent this over the top for me. Those close-ups of the hawk in slo-mo are unsettling; great work!
Yeaaaaa boiiiiiii! Crunchy thumps! Diggin your work
Thanks a lot Joshua! Releasing new stuff soon
Excellent! What do you use to make that video effect?
Visuals are beyond trippy, dope sounds too!
Thanks a lot Joey, love your stuff as well man!
badass!
Thanks Joey!
Awesome stuff. It is so cool that this is just the Pulsar. It seems like such a versatile instrument
Thanks! Yeah you can work a full track out on this thing in my opinion, depending on your style and what you're going for. I have some modular gear that could sequence it but I'm going to get more of a feel for it on its own first. Glad you liked it!
The sounds of this device are incredible ! Associated to the Pipe, you will have very impressive sounds (especially on hi-hats)
I love it! Obsessed with it already haha
BIA is on my list. sounds magical
It's got a great range! I realized recently that I did a Big Dumb and this is actually the earlier Basimilus Iteritas version with one less input to modulate, either are a great choice though. Not as into using it for kicks (I went for the Crater like you), but it's great for glitchy textures and a lot of other percussion/melody.
@@final_animal Crater slaps right? =) Probably grab a BIA when I have more triggers. I'm out. You should definitely post more of your work on youtube
YES
LET'S DO THIS
i like it.
Thanks!
Strangely intriguing, nice
Thanks Jon!
I love that you rap in Irish too. Also, love the general sound you have going on here. And cool visuals! :)
Thanks a million!
Dope track and great artist name.
Thank you! Much appreciated (likewise btw, great name!)
