Yes, sure TD is the way of doing still images and much much more. Also I’ve just open up p5.js web editor and it’s actually not to difficult to start messing with it using some codes from web. Maybe it’s possible to make ChatGPT do coding for it based on prompt?
I’ve found a guy who create web apps with p5.js which are quite simple but results look quite good.
Maybe the question here is not only the tool, but how to choose right approach to it and discover your technique and visual style you like, how to “open up the door” and just start using it creatively, not just get lost in tutorials etc… I think all tools mentioned - Touch Designer, TOOLL3, VVVV, p5.js can do similar things in this field, so it’s like with DAWs - you have to find what works for you.
For example I stayed away from computers for music making till 2005 - 2010 I guess (used adat recorder and tape machines etc for recording and hardware sequencers for composing ). I’ve tried Logic, Pro Tools, Cubase on PC… nothing worked well and just stoped me from doing anything creative. But after I discovered Ableton things changes dramatically, suddenly all started to look friendly and results were much much better and all was much faster than with hardware, so now I just use it same way as hardware, real instruments, etc… So want to find something similar to Ableton in this generative / procedural graphics world.
