TouchDesigner × Scope — Episode 1: Real Time Character Control with AI Video

In this first episode of TouchDesigner × Scope, I explore using TouchDesigner as a live input source for Scope running the LongLive model.

We route a TouchDesigner patch into Scope via NDI as a virtual camera, then use it to drive a stylized AI fish character. By adding a simple face rig and panel based controls, we can manipulate eye movement, blinking, mouth animation, and head rotation in real time, giving the character more personality and responsiveness.
