Inside Look At My Touch Designer GLSL Workbench

Here's an inside look at my GLSL pattern processing network developed under Touch Designer to process video clips. Touch Designer is a visual creation interface where components of various sorts are connected together to perform operations. On the left side of the screen, four GLSL patterning components (that I developed with Claude AI) are feeding patterns into various levels of compositing and  HSV manipulation. At the bottom of the screen, a video file is being played into the system. (There are various nodes that I use to adjust resolution, aspect, and format - portrait or landscape - of the incoming video clip.) After that, there are two keying pathways (chroma or luma) which feed thru their own set of signal manipulations. On the right are the final compositing and mixing stages, as well as the record function and the output to second monitor window. 

Note that the configuration is intended to be dynamic with the ability to disconnect, insert, connect and reconnect various nodes as desired before recording a final processed output.

Every node in the network has optional control settings to fine tune functionality. Below are two control panels for one other the GLSL components I created.

Fire Ritual - Offering Hands

I processed some clips of fire offerings / fire prayers with multi-layered compositing from several of the Touch Designer-based GLSL psychedelic pattern generators I've been developing.

Psychedelic Shaders - Nudes

Here are a few full length nudes (9:16 aspect ratio) processed with multi-layered compositing from several of the Touch Designer-based GLSL psychedelic pattern generators I've been developing.

Psychedelic Shaders - More Goddess Samples

Here are a few more samples of multi-layered compositing from several of the Touch Designer-based GLSL psychedelic pattern generators I've been developing.

Psychedelic Shaders - More Examples With Complex Layering

Here are samples of multi-layered compositing from several of the Touch Designer-based GLSL psychedelic pattern generators used in combination.

Psychedelic Shaders - Introduction

Another project I've been working on is the development of some GLSL shaders (in Touch Designer) with the help of Anthropic's Claude AI. (Use of an AI coding assistant is another whole subject best left for discussion over a bottle of beer...)

I got interested in seeing what sort of psychedelic procedural patterning could be created after coming across trippy artwork by @848elle on Tumblr (848ellie.tumblr.com). She's making use of an AI rendering engine (not sure which one) to create wonderful multi-faceted patterning. A few samples of her work appear below.

Before posting some processing tests on my own video footage, I wanted to show samples of what the underlying GLSL pattern generators can produce for use when compositing and mixing final FXs. (These samples are snapshots of what are evolving (animated) outputs from the GLSL components with specific pattern settings and colorizations applied. All of this is adjustable in my set of components.)

Here are a few examples of initial testing the psychedelic patterns on existing footage from my video library. Note that in both cases, only one level of patterning has been applied. (See later postings herein for greater pattern layering depths...)
