What is the Immersive Design Systems with TouchDesigner course about?
Creative momentum stalls when intuitive design clashes with technical fragmentation. Without a structured workflow, even the most innovative concepts get lost in iteration loops, rendering delays, or platform limitations. The gap between artistic vision and deployable systems widens , especially when teaching others to bridge it.
