Create seamless looping 3D animations and audio-reactive visuals with Blender and TouchDesigner. Learn creative techniques you can apply using the free versions of both programs.
Begin by creating a looping animation using basic 3D modeling, animation, and rendering techniques. Then we will focus on using TouchDesigner to apply real-time effects that respond to audio input.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have created a fully realized 3D loop customized with real-time, audio-reactive effects—suitable for live performances, music videos, digital content, or simply just for fun!
Format:
