Overview

In this anya maryina tutorial project for TouchDesigner, a .PNG image becomes the source for a GPU particle system. The network explains the Reorder TOP and uses it to convert image pixels into position and color data for particlesGpu, so the image itself decides where the particles sit and what color they carry; it runs on any machine with no extra hardware.

The .toe is free on Gumroad at $0 or more, released in January 2025 together with the YouTube tutorial. Useful for image-driven particle effects such as logo or photo reveals.
