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 is error-prone. 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 them together, and inspect the resulting network structure. - Real-time visual workflows: Proven recipes for audio-reactive GLSL shaders, feedback effects, 3D scenes with PBR lighting, particle systems, and projection mapping. - Verification and debugging: Query errors recursively, profile performance, capture operator screenshots, and read the textport to diagnose failures. - Use Case: Ask the agent to build an audio-reactive GLSL visual: it discovers correct parameter names via td_get_par_info, builds the AudioFileIn → AudioSpectrum → CHOP to TOP → GLSL chain, verifies FPS and output via screenshots, then records ProRes video through a MovieFileOut TOP. ## Quick Start Run the bundled setup script to install the twozero.tox plugin and register the MCP server, then ask the agent to create a noise TOP animated by an LFO in the running TouchDesigner project.
