VISUAL
NODE-BASED EDITING
Build
your entire synth graphically using visual networks of nodes,
connected to make your 3D models, control panels, motions and
behaviors. TouchDesigner lets you build synths graphically without
requiring any scripting.
|
|
PROCEDURAL
DATA FLOW INSIDE
Touch
is a fully procedural engine inside, with a user interface that
facilitates visual editing and testing of its procedural networks
of operators.
|
|
OPNODE
ARCHITECTURE
Four
kinds of operators integrate in Touch - SOPs manipulate 3D surfaces,
COPs create and composite images, CHOPs affect channels and
motion, and objects are hierarchies of 3D surfaces, lights and
cameras.
|
|
PROCEDURAL
MODELING
Combine
Touch's 50+ SOPs (Surface Operators) to create and modify polygons,
NURBS / Bezier patches and curves as well as metaballs. This
complements TouchDesigner's interactive 3D surface modeler.
|
|
MOTION
AND BEHAVIORS
Combine
Touch's 50+ CHOPs (Channel Operators) to generate and control
your synth's motion and behavior. CHOPs takes inputs from
all the devices, processes and combines them, matches selected
moves to the beats, and drives the 3D objects in realtime.
CHOPs complements TouchDesigner's keyframing.
|
|
CONTROL
PANELS
Build
your synth's on-screen control panels interactively.
|
|
MATERIALS
AND TEXTURES
Apply
textures, video loops, transparency and shading to your 2D
and 3D models.
|
|
PARTICLES
Build
and animate particle systems.
|
|
COMPOSITING
Combine
Touch's 20+ COPs (Composite Operators) to prepare images as
texture maps and loops.
|
|
VIDEO
IN
Stream
video into Touch using Firewire and other cameras, and from
any QuickTime movie.
|
|
WEB-EMBEDDED
SYNTHS
Embed
Touch Synths in any web page.
|
|
IMPORTERS
Import
models from other 2D and 3D tools as polygon, NURBS and bezier
surfaces and curves. Import motion, lighting, cameras and images.
|
|
VEX
AND SCRIPTING
Modify
surfaces, images and motion with Touch's award-winning vector
expression (VEX) and scripting languages.
|
|
UPGRADES
