Touch Designer & Polycam, Point cloud interact
To use Polycam to scan the environment into a point cloud model and import it into TouchDesigner. Then, using a computer webcam, capture the movements of a person in front of the camera. Combine Feedback, Time Machine, and Noise in TouchDesigner to create particle-based trailing effects related to human motion, such as flowing lines. The captured motion data will influence the imported point cloud model dynamically, creating an artistic interaction.
Steps
- Environment Point Cloud Import:
- Use Polycam to scan the environment and export the point cloud model.
- Load the scanned point cloud model into TouchDesigner.
- Human Motion Capture:
- Use a webcam to capture the motion of a person in front of the camera.
- Extract keyframe data of the movement for further processing.
- Feedback, Time Machine, and Noise Integration:
- Use these tools to create particle trailing effects, such as flowing lines that respond to the motion.
- Point Cloud Model and Motion Interaction:
- Map the captured human motion data to the point cloud model in TouchDesigner.
- Dynamically influence the point cloud to create artistic effects based on human motion.
