Creating a series of variants for the Mayan Underworld sequence for my River Styx video piece. Using various custom tools in Touch Designer. Footage from Palenque archeological museum originally shot on 8mm videocam and upscaled/de-interlaced.

EchoFold is a new Touch Designer TOX processing network released by Eric Souther (Philosophical Tools on Patreon) which is like a 4D frame buffer on DMT. The abundance of controls available for modifying the spatial geometry and temporal stream allow for lots of creative experimentation and surprises. Also, the TOX provides a wide supplement of CV (Control Voltage) inputs as well.
Here are several examples of the TD network in operation:
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.)

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.

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]
