Welcome to Xan / Xor

- [Rik] Welcome to chapter five. Chapter five is called Zanzur and it's the first time we're gonna delve into 3D. Now, in previous projects, we've been mainly working in 2D. We've been working with texture operators called tops and Channel Operators called chops. But when we want to go into 3D, we're gonna add a little bit more depth. So we need to use some more operator types. We're gonna be using things like surface operators to give us shapes.

We're gonna be using things like materials to give those shapes a kind of look. But we also need some other things as well, such as a camera, some lighting, some geometries, and we're gonna take them all together and turn them into a image or a video, basically a texture. So we're gonna be working on how do we take 3D shapes and turn them into a final piece of flat artwork in 2D. This is the main thing we're gonna be working on in this project. These shapes can be lots of different types.

It can be inbuilt into TouchDesigner but we'll also import our own shapes from external places as well.
