This is a TouchDesigner tutorial on how to create blob tracking using POPs. In this method, you can create blob tracking even with the free Non-Commercial License. By using POPs, the tracking data can be handled as geometry, which allows for more flexible visual expressions. In this tutorial, I’ll explain the process step by step, including how to convert video into coordinate data, how to use that coordinate data for instancing, and how to create visuals using text data.
