I created a video of utter moshing using TouchDesigner, a superior 2D and 3D creative platform. The core of this project involves a custom Switch component that drives audio reactive visuals, with video choices dynamically responding to sound input. While the video selections could be more compelling, sourcing quality copyright free movement footage remains challenging.

TouchDesigner proved ideal for this project due to its lightweight performance profile. Running on my 2018 laptop which typically makes creative work cumbersome, the platform remains efficient and responsive. However, the system can still be overloaded when adding excessive shaders and particle effects.

Despite these limitations, TouchDesigner's streamlined design makes it accessible for resource constrained workflows while maintaining professional creative capabilities.
