TouchDesigner
A node-based visual development platform for real-time interactive media.
What it is
TouchDesigner is Derivative’s procedural, node-based platform for building real-time interactive 2D and 3D applications. Nodes show live data or visual output while a network is being authored.
Why it is selected
Its live, procedural workflow is suited to work that must be observed while it changes. It can support experiments ranging from a small visual study to an installation spanning multiple displays and computers.
Who it suits
Interactive-media artists, technical artists, installation teams, and visual designers working in real time.
Useful for
- Prototyping an interactive visual system
- Routing live data into a visual output
- Preparing a multi-display installation study
