Recording Kinect point cloud data to the timeline
This technique/component will let you record Kinect data directly into a movie file and play it back, locked to the timeline. This is not inherently trivial as none of the movie codecs in TD support 32 bit float output, and saving exr image sequences are super slow and will tank your FPS.This techni...
Kinect Single Player selection
The video turned out to be pretty long-winded, the first few mins contain the jist of it, also in the text below :)I am faced with a situation frequently where I have a Kinect V2 installation that is designed to have one single player interact with it, in an environment where multiple people can be ...
Fav Comps #2
Working on two videos, but in the meantime I thought I'd continue my fav comps series with a nice and easy to use "volumetric light" shader by Matthew Ragan. I use this quite a lot, adds a nice flare (pun intended) to post effects!This was actually brought to my attention by a Patron a w...

Kinect Activity (Exclusive)
Here's a quick way to drive effects with Kinect, using acceleration of the hand (or any body part). We are also using the One Euro Filter which is super useful for interaction! Sorry for the audio and the noisy data, my Kinect is acting up a lot lately!

RealRamp - What is wrong with Ramp TOP???
Good question: it can cause unexpected glitches cause of a weird and unexpected sub-pixel behavior. This component aims to fix that with a GLSL re-implementation of the Ramp TOP. More in the video!

OpenOP Component
A quick productivity tool I've been using to expose deeply nested OPs whose parameters I want to access in my Base COMP parameters. It is a rather short script inside, but instead of having to write it every time you can just put this into your Palette and grab it :)
CamSequencer component download
UPDATE: Fixed a bug introduced in TD.2022. Reason was: Integer custom params that get a float input now perform rounding instead of floor (I'm highly against this decision btw!), this caused incorrect behaviour.Really hope this becomes your go-to default Camera COMP!The CamSequencer is an extend...
