The Collection

The Collection is a gallery of Specimens — transparent TouchDesigner networks shared as TDN. Every card is a real network you can read, inspect, and reuse; nothing is an opaque binary.

Browse & filter

• Filter by category (generative, compositing, 3D, simulation, raymarching/SDF, audio-reactive, shaders, and more), difficulty, and hardware requirements — or full-text search.
• Each card flips between a rendered result and the live node graph (an in-browser TDN viewer), so you can see both what it makes and how it's wired.

Inspect a Specimen

Open a Specimen to see its full node graph, metadata, the capability scan verdict, and its TDN. Because a Specimen is its network as text, you're reading exactly what you'd run.

"Embody it" — copy into your project

The embody it button copies the Specimen's TDN to your clipboard. In a TouchDesigner project running Embody, the clipboard watcher detects it and offers to paste it as a new COMP — see Clipboard Auto-Paste.

Community networks paste inert

A Specimen copied from the Collection is imported inert by default: Execute DATs are disarmed, expressions neutralized, IO bypassed, and storage stripped — the structure and content are preserved, but nothing runs until you deliberately enable it. This is the safe default for running someone else's network.
