For Episode 25 we have the great and powerful Dániel Molnár aka @FunctionStore. And you can follow his account here at vjun.io: function_store
For those not familiar with Daniel, he is the developer of the extremely powerful Function store tools, a collection of @TouchDesignerOfficial hacks and tools that help improve workflows as well as manipulate the default behavior of TD, a must have tool for any TD user.
Dan is also a talented artist and musician and performs super inspiring audio/visual shows.
In our convo, we get into Dans origins growing up in Hungary and studying Electrical Engineering, being a music nerd from a young age, getting into programing and consumer electronics, moving to Berlin during the pandemic and being introduced and engrossed in Touch Designer, him starting to develop tools for Touch designer and how it felt to be invited and honored with an in-session invite by Derivative, solving problems through supporting and developing tools, what it means to be an audiovisual artist, the nature of the universe being random, but is it random? Lastly, we dive into the function master's involvement with @ledpulse-technologies a volumetric LED module, we also take a look at the software Daniel built for it. For Dan’s SET, we jump into his unbelievable Touch designer projects, starting with a suite of his tools made for making mind blowing visuals, including the ComplexOP and its many use cases, The layer separator and its extremely useful exploding ability as well as the complex Fractal and its fractal exploring ability.
We then jump into FNS and explore the functionStore toolkit and it's amazing functionality. I love Daniel and his mind is fascinating to explore. After recording this episode I was instantly a Fumctionstore Tool convert and haven't looked back since, so go download it now. *Unfortunately, the first half of the podcast got a bit messed up, thankfully there was a backup, the audio and visual is still intact but the bells and whistles aren’t on display until the SET portion where things pick up!
