Depth Anything TouchDesigner Plugin

In this tutorial, we'll dive into Torin's new DepthAnything plugin for TouchDesigner—a drop-in .tox that turns any webcam or TOP into a real-time depth map (no extra installs). We’ll explore instanced visuals with trails, experiment with occlusion, and set up high-quality depth exports. We'll also show how to integrate the plugin with Josef Pelz’s PCR point-cloud renderer tool, and Prismatic's screen-space depth rendering tool for rim lights and material controls. 🔗 DepthAnything Component (.tox) / Full Project (Patreon) –   / depthanything-140120766   📌 Resources & Links 🔗 Josef Pelz – PCR Point Cloud Renderer (Patreon) –   / 1521576   🔗 Prismatic – SSDR (Patreon) –   / tox-screen-space-138369954   🔗 Dean Cheesman – TD Depth Point-Cloud Tutorial (POPs / Experimental) –    • Convert any Video to Point Clouds in Touch...   🔗 PJ Visuals / Nick Marriott Post (NIN) –   • Nine Inch Nails - As Alive As You Need Me ...   0:00 - Intro: What is DepthAnything? 1:10 - Project File Overview 5:55 - Performance Tips: Inputs, scaling, model size, two .tox versions 9:17 - PCR Point Clouds Setup (bokeh, focus, alpha) 11:27 - Prismatic SSDR: lighting, rim lights, blur & background mask 15:00 - Record High-Quality Depth + Normalize component 23:53 - Next Steps & Resources
