Derivative, an offshoot of Side Effects Software, announced the final release of TouchDesigner 077, a development environment for visual artists and animators to build interactive GPU-accelerated 3D applications. TouchDesigner 077 features a node-based procedural visual programming language and a GPU-accelerated engine that can composite multiple layers of high resolution video while maintaining 60 frames per second, as well as handling 4K video using Cineform codec support.
Output can be routed to multiple monitors and projectors providing flexibility for any installation. The GPU is also leveraged to encode H.264 movies on the fly. For further customization, GLSL provides the latest shader technology, with GPU deformations, shadows, multi-pass rendering, and various treatments of transparency.
