New Body Tracking Plugin for TouchDesigner - No Kinect Needed | Tutorial 1/3
🕑 Added 2023-07-26 02:17:09 +0000 UTCHey! In this tutorial, we'll go over my new body-tracking plugin for TouchDesigner. It runs off the webcam and works on both Mac and PC. The components work without any setup, or installation needed. I also go over how to start using it in your TouchDesigner Projects.
The Project has been tested on the latest TouchDesigner 2022.33910. Please make sure to use the latest version.

Hello! Thank you very much for all your amazing work. I downloaded the file, and every file is within the same folder including dist. When I open the No kinect2.220.toe in TD, the Body_Tracking_1_1 is blank. Do I need to do something with my webcam or something missing to just get start? I clicked the reset bottom, but it did not solve the problem. Please give me some advice to fix this problem. Thank you so much!! I use pc and Processor: 13th Gen Intel Core i7-13620H (10 cores, up to 4.9 GHz) Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU with 6GB GDDR6 VRAM (105W TGP)

You should be able to download an NDI plugin for OBS. Alternatively this will have more latency but will work. get the NDI feed in TD, connect it to a Spout/Syphon out TOP and pick it up with Spout in OBS.

i have the same problem on my win , the body tracking window is showing white, 2023.12000

If you change the WebSocket Port and MoveNet Port on the component to something else like 9981 and 3002, that should fix it

Awesome - I see the mediapipe version was created for offline as well. Will check it out. Just a note that for this version of NoKinect, it seems that if you attempt to use multiple copies of the Body_Tracking component it seems to sync/override camera selection across all of them.

I'd recommend using the MediaPipe plugin now as it's the most up-to-date (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx4Ellaj6kk). And yes you can run multiple instances of the plugin with different webcam inputs
Matt Jones
Hey! Curious if the component is designed to have multiple instances running in the same TD file, with the goal of applying tracking to multiple camera inputs within the same TD file.

Torin Blankensmith
Honestly I'd recommend using the latest MediaPipe plugin that I just posted. It'll be the most stable

Hi I just downloaded the file. But TouchDesigner cannot use my FaceTime camera on my Mac, and the body tracking window is always white and showing nothing. Can you help me to fix this problem ?
