What problem does it solve? Building TouchDesigner networks by hand requires memorizing hundreds of operator parameter names that change between TD versions, and scripting against a running instance normally requires manual UI interaction. This Skill connects an AI agent to a live TouchDesigner instance through the twozero MCP server, exposing 36 native tools for creating operators, setting parameters, wiring connections, executing Python, and capturing output. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Network construction: Create TOPs, CHOPs, SOPs, DATs, MATs, and COMPs with validated parameters, wire connections, and inspect networks via td_create_operator, td_set_operator_pars, and td_get_network. - Real-time visual recipes: Proven patterns for audio-reactive GLSL shaders, feedback effects, 3D scenes with PBR lighting, particles, projection mapping, and video recording via MovieFileOut. - Diagnostics and verification: Find errors recursively, profile performance, capture operator screenshots, and read the textport to debug builds. - Use Case: Ask the agent to build an audio-reactive GLSL visual: it discovers correct parameter names with td_get_par_info, builds the AudioSpectrum-to-GLSL signal chain, verifies FPS and output via screenshots, and records a ProRes movie. ## Quick Start Run the bundled setup script, drag the downloaded twozero.tox into TouchDesigner, enable the MCP toggle, then ask the agent to create a noise TOP animated by an LFO in the running TouchDesigner project.
