a simple pointcloud/particle and chromatic aberration tutorial.
**NOTE**
In the tutorial I plug the rgba delay (in the loop) into the second input of the add TOP. Don’t do that, plug it into the first. Because of how TD handles resolutions etc, this seemingly minor mistake will cause the project to have a minor panic attack on re-launch.

I was compelled to make this after seeing this short:
• Making A Chromatic Abe...
@Acerola_tAcerola's YT channel is also mandatory reading for this class - it will be on the test.

    This is a truly masterpiece ✨ And you may be the first one to make "The dancing lights", because I was looking for this some time ago and didn't find anything. I'm glad that you also came up with that idea and shared it, so everyone can see and learn from your tutorial. May KZread algorithm bless you 🙏🏻

    don't really understand what you mean by that, but most likely you forgot to toggle the "blending" under the common tab in the constant MAT

    Actually just fixed it. Make sure you've activated add points on the 'add1' SOP and have set convert to 'Particles per point on the convert SOP. This fixed it for me.

    @okayashwin hello! I encountered this problem with one of my Patreons. He sent the file over to me, and it worked fine. I actually have no idea what is causing this. But I have a suboptimal fix, for now, instead of using add-convert-geo, use a box sop-geo (and in the uniform scale in the box SOP set it to 0.002) I need to research, but it’s a quick fix

    @user-rp3cf5wf2f yes, that’s what it is at this point. If you want to view it as points. Make the viewer of the top active (bottom right corner) and then right click the image, and select “view as points” (or just press v on your keyboard)
