[21] RUDIMENTS

Rudiments

Production-grade building blocks for TouchDesigner, built by 404.zero and setupdesign for real shows. Browse them at twozero.ai/rudiments.

Every rudiment opens with a PRO subscription — there is no per-item purchase. Pages, screenshots and documentation are free to read without an account.

Getting a rudiment into TouchDesigner

Open a rudiment page. With PRO you get three buttons:

ADD TO HUB Copies the component into your Cloud — you pick which repo it lands in. From there pull it into any project the usual way.
DOWNLOAD .TOX Downloads the file straight to disk.
GET LINK Copies a link of the form twozero.ai/hub/product_<slug>.

The link is the fastest route: paste it into the input field in Cloud inside TouchDesigner and it pulls the component straight into your current network. Cloud accepts a pasted link from any tool, not just Cloud.

Without PRO

The page, its screenshots and its documentation stay open. Download and ADD TO HUB are locked, and the page offers View plans instead. Signing in is not enough on its own — the subscription is what opens the file.

Notes

  • ADD TO HUB counts against your Cloud quota — 100 MB on free, 10 GB on PRO. If the HUB is full the page says so and nothing is copied; delete a component to free up space. See Cloud.
  • Adding the same rudiment twice makes a second copy. The button tells you when one is already in your repos.
  • Adding it to a repo where a component of the same name already exists makes it a new version of that component, not a separate one.
  • An AI agent connected over MCP can browse the same library without a login and pull a rudiment into your network. Pulling a PRO one still needs the subscription.

Not the same as the Toolset

Rudiments are the components in this library — built by us, unlocked by PRO, pulled into your own projects. The plugin's own built-in tools live in Toolset & Usage and are free with the plugin. Two different things, and the library was renamed so that one word would stop covering both.

Tools sold separately

ZERROR and other standalone 404.zero products are sold on 404zero.com as one-time purchases. They are not bought with credits, are not part of PRO, and do not appear in this library.
