Generative Architecture and Hand Tracking in TouchDesigner with MediaPipe

In this tutorial, we'll create a Brutalist-inspired Generative Architecture piece using TouchDesigner. We’ll explore instancing, physically based rendering (PBR), and hand tracking with MediaPipe for interaction.

Looking forward to seeing what you create! 🎉 Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.
