Motion

Motion, live and on a timeline

Give any position, rotation or color its own motion and tune it while it runs. When a piece needs structure, shape it on the timeline: keyframes in seconds or in bars and beats, sound clips, and scenes that cut, fade or crossfade in sequence. Record a performance from your controllers and edit the take.

Materials, models and light

Start from 15 shapes or bring in glTF and USDZ models with their animations. Light them with HDR environments and six kinds of light, dress them in physical, toon or textured materials with video and live camera feeds, then finish with post effects like bloom, depth of field and feedback.

As deep as you want to go

Write your own GLSL shaders, translated to Metal when you publish, and build custom functions and surfaces for motion and form. With the Studio license, an AI shader helper explains, fixes and suggests changes to your shaders, using your own Anthropic key.

Perform

Live on many screens, with your controllers

Perform straight from the editor across one or more displays, and map any value in your scene to a control. Gamepads work in every version. MIDI controllers such as the Behringer BCR2000, MIDI clock and CV come with the Studio license.
