2nd Intergration & Trouble Shooting

Overview: Successfully connected TouchDesigner and Max, and optimized visual parameters in TouchDesigner.

Dates of Development | March 26, 2025

Process Group | Xinyi Qian, Ashley Loera，Hefan Zhang

 

Part 1:

Ashley and I went to Alison House this afternoon to meet with Philly. While Ashley consulted Philly about audio processing issues in Max, I prepared for the connection test. After resolving her problem, we successfully connected Max and TD.

However, when I later returned to test the setup with the DPA microphone, I encountered a new issue: the airflow was too concentrated, resulting in a harsh, noisy sound. Ashley is currently working on refining this by adjusting the audio input processing to reduce the rough airflow noise.

Part 2:
In parallel, Hefan optimized the visuals in TD based on feedback from Philly and Jules, adding richer and more detailed effects. I conducted breathing tests with the new visuals and collaborated with Hefan to debug and refine the following aspects:

  1. Math Mapping: We adjusted the mapping so that the airflow data captured by the microphone results in smoother and more continuous visual transitions.

  1. Color Saturation & Noise: The previous version of the visuals was overly saturated. We adjusted the Levels and Noise parameters to create a more subtle, natural effect.
