IT'S PLAYTIME
A modern, opinionated node graph interface combined with a real-time rendering viewport, timeline and curve editor, asset browser, colour scopes and more.
Say hello to your node-based workspace. Get in — and stay in — your creative flow, creating in real time!
USE NOTCH TO
Create Visuals Faster
Skip the setup and unleash your creativity. Notch's intuitive node system lets you dive right in. We've designed our nodes specifically for creatives so you can focus on what matters.
WHILE MAINTAINING
Complete Control
The node-based workflow combined with timeline and curve editing lets you tackle any 3D or 2D project at speed. The GPU-powered, real-time rendering viewport lets you build and tweak your scene faster than in any other tool.
AND USING
Next-gen Tools
Use physics, deformers, cloners and a near-unlimited set of post-processing and shading effects to create never-before-seen visuals and projects. Use real-time inputs like sensors, audio, MIDI controllers and much, much more to drive and inspire your creations.
HOW DO YOU CREATE?
Notch shares DNA with several different 3D and video packages you might already know. While the main creation space is a curated node graph, other familiar tools like a timeline and curves editor have gotten a series of creative updates that make them a joy to use.
NODE GRAPH
Fast Workflow - Node Hinting - Easy SearchAt the center of Notch is a node graph built around the principles of speed and flexibility. Unlike other node graphs you might have used in the past, the nodes here offer the right level of abstraction for exceptional levels of accessibility.

TIMELINE
Segments - Mini-Curves - Hide UnusedAnimate any property in your scene and work with real-time graphcs as you would a regular composition in a linear video editing suite. Cut, scale, change rendering order. Even access the mini curve editor in place for super-fast animation tweaks.

CURVE EDITOR
Advanced Keyframing - Interpolation Modes - Auto-EasingA highly customizable curve editor view which lets you hide all the properties you don't need to see, to make clear edits without the noise. A clever "overlaid mode" lets you see all curves in the same screen, regardless of scale.

We understand that adding a new tool to your arsenal means that there will be some time spent on setting it up and learning how to use it. At Notch, we get it. We're 3D creators, too, and that's why we want to ensure that your effort is greatly rewarded by trusting us enough to give it a go.
WHAT CAN YOU MAKE?
Notch is a GPU-powered graphics powerhouse with all the features you expect to find in a modern rendering package.
PARTICLES, SIMULATIONS & VOLUMETRICS
Powerful and easy-to-use simulations are built into the core of Notch. Use them to simulate, render and shade particles, fluids, and smoke—and anything in between.
Learn more
PROCEDURAL EVERYTHING
The ultimate in flexibility comes from procedurally generating meshes and materials—even movement. Procedural generation is a mainstay of Notch, and you can use it wherever you'd usually keyframe or hand-model something.
Learn more
2D, COMPOSITING & POST PROCESSING
Powered by modern GPUs, Notch allows you to work and render entirely in real time. This means no more slow pre-comp renders and no more intermediary exports. Gone are the days of repeated exports and imports.
Learn more
3D, LIGHTING & MATERIALS
Build impressive and realistic 3D scenes using existing 3D assets, or create new ones using the built-in 3D generators. Apply physically based materials and lighting with ease.
Learn more
VIDEO & LIVE IMAGES
Add real-time effects to video or still images; even live, streaming video. Use video to drive your animation and effects.
Learn more
SENSORS & INTERACTIVITY
Notch supports a wide range of industry-standard sensors, including depth cameras, LiDARs, and others. Create incredible interactive installations or pieces.
Learn more
TV, AR, MR, XR & BEYOND
Whether you're doing real-time keying, mixed or extended reality—or even full-on LED virtual production—what you create in Notch can be used everywhere.
Learn moreCONNECT ANYTHING TO ANYTHING
Notch is engineered from an "anything to anything" perspective. You can explore and play with your designs by connecting literally anything to anything, opening up near-endless creative opportunities. Keep your creative momentum going as you discover a new way to create graphics!
VIDEO TO PARTICLES
Use live or recorded video to drive your particle simulation, spawning and following the motion in your video.
PARTICLES TO CLONES
Generate particles and turn them into cloned geometry that in turn can be rendered, lit, meshed and moved as a swarm.
PARTICLES TO PROCEDURAL MESH
Generate particles and turn them into procedural geometry that in turn can be rendered, lit, and animated.
IMAGE TO PROCEDURAL MESH
Use an image (or video) to create procedural meshes that can be treated just like regular geometry.
FIELDS TO PARTICLES
Create field volumes, change them with deformers and turn them back into fields (or particles!)
IMAGE TO CLONES
Images and video can be turned into clones by the millions—all GPU accelerated instances.
CLONES TO LIGHTS
Create lights from accelerated clone-based geometry to light your scene.
MESHES TO FIELDS
Take your 3D meshes (or 3D animations) and turn them into volumetrics that can be rendered in whole new ways.
