## Written at release



Deep in the ocean where the Soul Fish grow, there lives a strange species of Starfish. They have vibrant textures and an uncontrollable urge to dance. The moment they hear a beat, their tentacles just can’t stop wiggling!



I brought these creatures to life using TouchDesigner POPs. The fun part? I’m controlling them with an ODD Ball. Spinning and throwing the ball drives their funky moves in real-time. 🎾✨

## What it is built on



This one is built on 6 shared modules: Cinematic_POSTFX_251204, VisualFrame_251214, base_audio_251201, basic_3d_render_251202, basic_3d_render_251209, work_capturer_251213. The six digits in a module name are the day it was made; the same module appearing across works is the lineage of this series.
