For 4 days, come and acquire the basics of generative and real-time graphic creation with Smode Studio (free). Discover also the professional media-server solution used on the biggest shows. We hope you to leave this workshop the mind full of new ideas.
REAL-TIME COMPOSITING WORKFLOW Combine 2D & 3D layers, effects, particles and shaders into powerful real-time compositions in a straightforward and scalable manner. Change any parameter at anytime, see the result immediately! Validate changes in real-time with the artistic director and/or the client. Live-compositing and live-editing across all stages of the production, from the 3D simulated stage to the actual stage.
TREMENDOUSLY FAST RENDERING Hundreds of 2D layers or millions of particles, no worries, the GPU takes care of it! Ultra-fast rendering to video up to 100 frames of HD video rendering per second Work with 4K, 6K, 8K or even larger content resolutions!
BY & FOR CONTENT DESIGNERS Smode has been conceived by and for content designer: no need to be programming expert, Smode is only about layers, modifiers and masks. Layer-based and well-structured: all things remain organized and simple to share between collaborators. Powerful video-oriented timeline-based and cue-based animation engine.
FROM THE VIEWPORT TO THE STAGE Do live video-preview of your compositions thanks to the 3D stage simulator for video mapping and led mapping. Let the magic appear on stage when showtime comes, simply by switching to the actual video projector and LED video outputs! Continue live-compositing and live-editing in harmony with the stage, director, actors, lighting, sound, and cameras.
ANYTHING REACTIVE AND GENERATIVE Create interactive compositions driven by video cameras, audio input, SPOUT inputs and MIDI/OSC/DMX/Art-Net control. Infinite number of combinations of dynamically chainable 2D and 3D modifiers (effects) and masks for visuals generation. Integrate your own GLSL shaders into your compositions.
