More PixaVex Samples - Figures Underwater

More work samples exploring Eric Souther's (Philosophical Tools on Patreon) new Touch Designer TOX (processing module) named "PixaVex". (Several samples below utilize two PixaVex TOXs in the processing network - one providing the wavefield, the other creating surface texture variants on the figures via modified Rutt-Etra like extrusion.)

PixaVex x2 Network - more examples

More work samples exploring Eric Souther's (Philosophical Tools on Patreon) new Touch Designer TOX (processing module) named "PixaVex". In these sequences, there are actually two instances of PixaVex in the processing network - one TOX is creating the wavy field(s), while the other TOX is processing the video clip of the swimming figure using a Rutt-Etra like displacement extrusion effect.

PixaVex - Visit to Robotics Lab

 Eric Souther (Philosophical Tools on Patreon) just released a new Touch Designer TOX (processing module) named "PixaVex" - its reminds me a bit of a Rutt-Etra device, but can do a wide range of raster modifications including being driven by internal oscillators. It's a very cool processing network!

I took it for a spin with some archival footage from a visit (long ago) to a small startup company of a friend of mine Chuck Canon - Honeybee Robotics. Here are some examples of PixaVex at work with fairly subtle luminance 'Z' extrusion settings. [turn on audio]
