Hey! 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.

New Body Tracking Plugin for TouchDesigner - No Kinect Needed

Hey! 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 without any setup. In this video I'll show you an overview of the component and how to start using it in your TouchDesigner Projects. I've refined this plugin based on a number of motion tracking projects I've done with the Azure Kinect and built this to have the setup process simple and affordable. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you create with this! The component supports BlazePose(x, y, z positions) and MoveNet(x, y positions).

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