Particle Cube Scanner - TouchDesigner POPs Tutorial (Limit + Noise)
Hi everyone! I just released a new video tutorial about creating a sci-fi Particle Cube Scanner using POPs in TouchDesigner—we transform chaotic noise into rigid, tech-looking geometries using a simple Limit POP trick. No complex math required! Hope it’s useful for you!!

TIMECODE
00:00 Introduction
Welcome to the tutorial on building a particle cube scanner effect
using the new POP family and simple limiting techniques.
00:26 Project Overview
A breakdown of the three main sections including particle generation,
geometric limiting logic, and the final post-processing render.
01:54 Particle Generation
Starting with a Point Generator POP set to a box shape and
cranking the point count to 100,000 for a dense cloud.
02:22 Feedback and Noise
Implementing a feedback loop with an LFO pulse reset and adding
curl noise driven by time to create organic chaotic movement.
03:47 The Clamp Technique
Using a Limit POP to force the noisy particles into a strict
rectangular volume using the clamp setting for X, Y, and Z.
04:15 Scanning Layer
Creating a second geometric layer using the zigzag limit type
modulated by LFOs to create the dynamic scanning animation.
05:10 Render Setup
Setting up the camera, applying constant materials to geometries,
and configuring the Render TOP for vertical resolution.
06:13 Post-Processing
Adding a feedback loop for motion trails and a bloom effect
to give the final result that digital sci-fi scanner look.
