life component
• Custom Interactive 3d ...
!!! if you are using the old component from the video above, you need to multiply the input (start-null) with the output from the life-comp before plugging it into the over TOP !!!

dude using paketa's trick in 3d was a genius move, definitely feels like magic. nicely done.
wow amazing tricks learned from channel and inspired a lot from the energy, just amazing
Love and thanks for your amazing works !
great tutorial as all ways, thanks!
this is beautiful!
wow... simply beautiful
Aamazing as always
bless you for making this tutorial pls keep up
This is so beautiful thank you
thank you! great tut
Love it!!
cool thing about shading is that it translates universally across all sorts of plattforms, even though in some particular plattforms things will look better then in others
great work!!!
Incredible
thanks for sharing
beautiful
thanks u so much

i love you

Hmm at 2:50 my choptop1 is only 32x32 pixels. I rewatched the tutorial and I have followed the steps you showed.
thanks for great tutorial! I just wonder if I can't find 'derivative(slope)' in noise1 componant, would there be any other way to make it look similar?

Hey! The Life COMP you're using in this tutorial has two outputs, but the one you created in the original tutorial only has one. Do we need to add anything to make this work correctly?

it does work here without any issues. If you want the seconds output, the life-gradient (which just applies to the color of the particles) you can either find it on my patreon, or learn how to make it in the Flow Field tutorial. I try to mot gatekeep these things.
can u add a arduino input and make the sphere move using ultrasonic sensor?
Excuse me. i import life, but the custom bar is not visible. Pleas understand if the words are strange. I am a Korean. I wants to learn touch designer.

I'm getting an error on the life component "error: (parameter: reset) TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable (/project1/life) How do I fix this? When I open the explodingStar.1 tox the life component seems to be working just fine
Something wrong happend when i tried to make it into a sephere by changing the operation of composite to "devide"🥲the screen turned empty,but other modes still works.Could u plz tell me the solution? Thanks
Couldnt get the correct result again. Can it be cause of my version of the TD? Its 2023.11600. My sphere is starts like yours but its all vanishing except a line of ellipse after seconds. Also i cant give colors as well. When i put colors to the geo node, its become completely black. Got only white without any "shadowlike" faded results. What do you think about it?

I'm having a similar problem, but i get the sphere effect with one "very defined" ellipse. Just one line going around the sphere, the rest looks amazing. If someone has the answer to this please help!

kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJVtr8ubYqnVmJc.html Keep in mind that the output in the life-fade here is monochrome, so you might want to change it to 32 bit float rgba. or you'll find it on my patreon
look like sun surface
which OP is for setting the lifespan of the particles? Idk what I did wrong, but my particles fade away after 10 seconds or something.

@@supermarketsallad Hello, after building your new life component, I saved the base file in tox. format. However, when I dragged it into this tutorial, it displayed an unavailable red "X", which is not as smooth as in your video. Can you guess roughly what the reason is (I also tried the old "life", but it still doesn't work)? Should I delete some things from the base of the life component

Hmm.. I don’t know
Using your life 2.0 component, the noise looks like the video when i have the monochrome off but when i turn it on, and i turn on derivative slope, the noise changes into just like lines with some particles moving, a lot less than in the video. I made sure I changed the noise to Perlin 3D and retraced my steps a bunch. Not sure where Im going wrong. I think it may be because Im on the latest 2023.11600 build because my parameters are lined up with yours

Hmm.. I’m not sure.. The sloped noise is pretty, but sometimes a little difficult to work with. Maybe try attenuating the noise - lowering the amplitude

Hello If you use the old life comp, You need to add a multiply top after the life component and multiply the output with the same node you use as input before the life comp. Before the over top. I wasn’t too clear about this, and thought it was clear, but it obviously wasn’t. sorry.
