Real time 3D
3D tools for performance artists
Touch Tools by Derivative, Inc. is a software toolkit that allows performance artists, VJs, architects, musicians, stage designers, and others to create 3D visuals in real time.
Using Academy Award-winning technology as its' basis, Touch is infinitely customizable. Creating your work in Touch is accomplished with visual, node-based editing, and Touch Designer has capabilities to create procedural 3D models, particles, compositing, textures, and live video input.
Touch tools have already been used in high-profile projects, such as the visuals and other controls for Plastikman shows and as part of the new Prada building in Tokyo.
I used an earlier version of Touch Designer to create Immaterial, a performance of live 3D elements with pre-recorded video. (Posted by Michelle Kasprzak)
