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.

the "if you respect yourself, you can set horizontal resolution" kills me 🤣 so relatable

ahahah this one got me too
Thanks for this tutorial you give me inspiration to start using this program again after getting distracted with life!
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 🙏🏻
Thank you for your generous output, some of the best and most beautiful tutorials! HBO should pick this up as a show!

I was trying to replicate, but i had an issue when i put the RGB in the instance, does not shot in my geo =(

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
I'm having trouble when I try and send the the Null Geo to instancing in the Geometry, when I change translate x,y,z to rgb it doesn't result in any cube forming in my Geometry, everything else works until the point any help appreciated as this is a great tutorial, i'm just a beginner

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

Would it be possible to add color to the geo1?
2:02 I dont have a "Box" shape on my version of TD (2022.29530), can I use a cube shape?

You can use whatever your heart desires there, it doesn’t matter that much. But cube is probably the same-ish

@blueplastic2002 you can just drop a point-transform top after and do it in there instead.
2:21 What should I do to make the dots gray?

At 2:21 we haven’t yet rendered the points. Follow the tutorial until at least 5 minutes, and then you can make color changes in the material

@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)
