TOUCH FOR STAGE DESIGNERS From Derivative comes a software package that will have you creating your own 2D and real-time 3D environments for the aesthetic composition of dramatic productions, art installations, live performances, runway shows and more. Touch projections open up new possibilities for stage designers and art directors to compose, arrange and re-time visuals while working on-set. The flexibility of Touch allows you to control any animation property you want. Touch is portable - all you need is a laptop or desktop computer equipped with Touch and projectors to display your scene. In addition to providing animation and visuals for PRADA, DJ Danny Tenaglia, and the 2002 Rush ' Vapor Trails ' Tour, Touch has also been featured in interactive installations - quickly programmed to trigger audio and video. The Academy Award-winning technology of Touch, used in films such as Titanic, The Matrix, Fight Club and X-Men, is rooted in 3D animation and a desire to make live visuals as performable as music. Derivative has married QuickTime loops with live controller-based manipulation of 3D models, textures, lights and cameras so you can create a scene, combine it with live video sources and project it onto a surface to generate textures, realistic or abstract scenes, moods, emotions. Touch synths differ from video mixers as they allow you to control more than just video playback, including 3D shapes, virtual lighting, distortions and camera moves. You can create a flat surface object onto which to project your movies or live feed, thus generating a 2D surface perfect for triggering loops and QTs. Reshape your Touch images to any physical surface and project it from any angle. Your files, created in TouchDesigner are called "synths" . Each person plays a synth differently due to its interactive nature affording a great range of expression through a variety of controls and parameters you set!
