[TOE] LEGO BRICKS - SpaceQuantization
Added 2024-12-07 11:10:03 +0000 UTCHello
Lot of you asked me for publishing my realtime LEGO system inside Touchdesigner
Here is a clean project file if you want to discover the technique.
Nothing very fancy actually, just some limits (TOPs and CHOPs) to quantize the space and create a proper 3D grids suitable for lego bricks.
The only issue of these nodes is that instances will overlap at same spots, so i created a DATs network to optimize that and leave only one piece per spot (deleting points with the exact same position). It's very needed in large scale scenes, to keep good performance.
Tell me if tou want further informations, or if you also need a tutorial for better understanding.
I tried to leave the network pretty organized
EDIT : I've uploaded a new version of the file, with more annotations, for better understanding of the network.
Enjoy playing lego... again !

Hello Alex. The easiest way for bringing your home is to replace, not the humanoid fbx, but the photogrammetry data I used (the table and the couch, I shot in my living room). The project has everything already setup. Now, to get a model of your own home, I recommend photogrammetry apps or softwares (Luma ai, polycam or equivalent). You will need to take videos or a lot of pictures and process them to get a 3d model.

2025-01-27 17:12:54 +0000 UTCWow this is amazing thanks for sharing! Quick question, would it be possible to share some easy steps for a TD beginner like me on how to replace the Humanoid FBX file baked into the project with a 3D model of mine? My intention is to create something similar to this, basically use a 3D model of my home and create a LEGO reconstruction, something that was done here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TouchDesigner/comments/1hcqhdv/point_clouds_to_quantized_bricks/?share_id=rdSGOheOtybYjM3nah2Y3&utm_content=1&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

2025-01-27 15:58:17 +0000 UTCWhat knowledge of TD do you have?? I can definitely add some annotations in the network, for better understanding.. Do you think it will be enough for you?

2024-12-09 09:45:03 +0000 UTCFirst of all, amazing tutorial! but I have 0 clue what to do inside, so some kind of information or just 2-3 min patreon exclusive video would be AMAZING to get to the basics.
