TEKKA: TouchDesigner Intermediate Workshop

This workshop will guide participants to explore the unique and innovative Operator family in TouchDesigner. The course begins with an introduction to the fundamental POP nodes (Operators), then gradually advances to attribute-level operations. Through practical examples and hands-on demonstrations, participants will discover how POPs can be applied flexibly in both creative workflows and design thinking, offering entirely new possibilities.
