.toe
The TouchDesigner Environment File (.toe
) is the file type used to save your TouchDesigner projects. It contains your networks, operators, parameters, variables, Macro, desktop layout and optionally MIDI settings.
External to the .toe
file are media files like images, movies, 3D geometry, audio and other data files. However, these media files can also be embedded into .toe
files or .tox
files.
A .tox (component) file is used to save particular components of a .toe
so one file can be shared between projects, archived or simply transported to another project. The .toe
files can refer to .tox
files and load them in when you start TouchDesigner.
A .toe
file can be converted to ASCII-readable form using toeexpand
. After editing in ASCII form, the .toe
file can be recreated using toecollapse
to a format with TouchDesigner can use.
TOuch Environment file, the file type used by TouchDesigner to save your project.
