Testing two sets of animations within TouchDesigner - the wall projection featuring the ghost stories, and the book glowing according to which ghost story is featured. Both sets of animations are synchronised to the Leap Motion tracking device.
I created the book glow animations based on the illustration I designed for the book prop, and this tutorial about how to create light rays. I wanted different parts of the book to glow depending on which animation is playing:
- Simple sepia glow during the intro
- Cyan glow during Okiku's animation
- Green glow during Koheiji's animation
- Orange glow during Oiwa's animation
- ALL glowing during the climax animation
Getting both sets of animation working in TouchDesigner wasn't too hard - it was just a case of replicating my original project set up, then changing the operator references within parameters and DAT tables.
As you can see from the video, the hand pinch detection of the Leap Motion is still working inconsistently. Sometimes it detects, sometimes it works, sometimes it lags and skips through three videos. :( Still trying to pinpoint what's causing this...
