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.

OVERTHROWN is an interactive collage of fallen or dying trees captured in 3D using photogrammetry scans aerial drone footage filmed by the artist in County Galway. Impacted by human activity including climate change, global trade, and deforestation, these plants are portrayed in various stages of life and death. In this piece, 3D models are modulated and disrupted by destructive forces. Attende...

      @@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.

      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.
