MOTION DESIGN & ANIMATION

BECAUSE PIXELS MATTER

Animation and Graphics Header SQUARE

Liberate your creativity with Notch's node-based creation system. Combine 3D meshes, simulations, physics, and 2D. If you can imagine it, you can create it!

A NEW WAY DESIGN MOTION

Built from the ground up to take advantage of modern GPUs, Notch allows creators to simulate, render and play with graphics in brand-new ways, leading to delightful accidental discoveries along the way.

NEXT-GEN ANIMATION & RENDER FEATURES

Notch is where everything comes together, and you can combine pre-made meshes and models with an infinite canvas of procedural and generative tools — all in real-time.

Boolean 5

NATIVELY 3D

Geometry - Deformers - Booleans

Build complicated geometry in seconds from built-in 3D generator nodes and deformers. Use boolean operations to mix and blend geometry.

MOTION ALL UNDER ONE ROOF 720

By & For Creators

Notch is a tool for creators, designers & artists to create stunning and engaging motion graphics and animation, built with modern GPUs in mind from the ground up.

ANIMATE AT MASSIVE SCALES PROCEDURALLY

Liberate yourself from static keyframes, and let a procedural system take the helm. Move, scale, rotate and animate your elements, or use physics to drive the animation.

Procedural graphics and simulations

Notch allows you to connect sophisticated procedural techniques together, and comes with powerful particle simulation systems built in. No need for 3rd party software or plugins.

ALL UNDER ONE ROOF

You don’t have to use a separate tool to grade and composite. Do it directly in Notch in the same real-time workflow that you expect from the rest of the tool.

TAKE YOUR RENDERS FURTHER

Notch is used to create stunning renders that can be procedurally driven by audio and other inputs. Create animation and graphics in entirely new ways.
