Getting Started

Overview

See some example workflows for how to start working with the toolkit components.

Setup

Download the package.zip

The TouchDesigner Gemini Toolkit is built on the principle that you want to get working quickly. For that reason you should get started by downloading the latest release of tox files from the releases page. Navigate to the latest release, click on show all assets and download the package.zip file. This file contains all of the single tox files packaged into a single library you can download.

Drag and Drop

Get started using the Gemini Toolkit by dragging and dropping the tox files into your TouchDesigner projects. We recommend first adding the api_key_manager to your project. Here you can add both Studio and Enterprise API keys for the respective Google AI platforms. By adding the api_key_manager first, every component you add after will pull credentials from the manager making it easy to work quickly in your project.

API Keys are kept in the storage of your operators. The api_key_manager has several convenience mechanics for both distributing and clearing keys from your project.

Next add any of the model components to your project:
