What problem does it solve?

This Skill empowers users to create custom vertex shaders for TouchDesigner, enabling advanced visual effects and geometry manipulation directly on the GPU.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Vertex Displacement: Animate and deform meshes based on noise, textures, or other data.
• Instancing: Efficiently render large numbers of objects with per-instance variations.
• Custom Materials: Develop unique lighting and surface appearances beyond standard shaders.
• Use Case: Create a shader that makes a plane of geometry ripple like water, or a material that applies complex procedural patterns to instanced objects.

Quick Start

Write a TouchDesigner GLSL MAT vertex shader that displaces geometry along its normal based on a noise function.
