Tooll 3 is an open source software to create realtime motion graphics. We are targeting the sweet spot between real-time rendering, graph-based procedural content generation and linear keyframe animation and editing. This combination allows…
artists to build audio reactive vj content
use advanced interfaces for exploring parameters
or to combine keyframe animation with automationTechnical artists can also dive deeper and use tool for advanced development of fragment or compute shaders or to add input from midi controllers and sensors or sources like OSC or Spout.
We strongly believe in usability and intuitive and beautiful interface design. That's why we experiment with different approaches before striking the right balance between usability and powerful flexibility. Currently tool version 3 is an ongoing development. It's stable enough to produce high-end visuals create motion graphics use many industry standard features like color correction, scopes and tone mapping, and export small standalone executables.
Hydra is a platform for live coding visuals, in which each connected browser window can be used as a node of a modular and distributed video synthesizer.
Built using WebRTC (peer-to-peer web streaming) and WebGL, hydra allows each connected browser/device/person to output a video signal or stream, and receive and modify streams from other browsers/devices/people. The API is inspired by analog modular synthesis, in which multiple visual sources (oscillators, cameras, application windows, other connected windows) can be transformed, modulated, and composited via combining sequences of functions.
Features:
Written in javascript and compatible with other javascript libraries
Available as a platform as well as a set of standalone modules
Cross-platform and requires no installation (runs in the browser)
Also available as a package for live coding from within atom text editor
Experimental and forever evolving !!

Mosaic is an open source multi-platform (osx, linux, windows) live coding and visual programming application, based on openFrameworks.
This project deals with the idea of integrate/amplify human-machine communication, offering a real-time flowchart based visual interface for high level creative coding. As live-coding scripting languages offer a high level coding environment, ofxVisualProgramming and the Mosaic Project as his parent layer container, aim at a high level visual-programming environment, with embedded multi scripting languages availability (Lua, GLSL, Python and BASH(macOS & linux) ).
As this project is based on openFrameworks, one of the goals is to offer as more objects as possible, using the pre-defined OF classes for trans-media manipulation (audio, text, image, video, electronics, computer vision), plus all the gigantic ofxaddons ecosystem actually available (machine learning, protocols, web, hardware interface, among a lot more).
While the described characteristics could potentially offer an extremely high complex result (OF and OFXADDONS ecosystem is really huge, and the possibility of multiple scripting languages could lead every unexperienced user to confusion), the idea behind the interface design aim at avoiding the "high complex" situation, embodying a direct and natural drag&drop connect/disconnet interface (mouse/trackpad) on the most basic level of interaction, adding text editing (keyboard) on a intermediate level of interaction (script editing), following most advanced level of interaction for experienced users (external devices communication, automated interaction, etc...)
Each letter of the alphabet is an operation, lowercase letters operate on bang, uppercase letters operate each frame. Orca is designed to control other applications, create procedural sequencers, and to experiment with livecoding. See the documentation and installation instructions here, or have a look at a tutorial video.

Vuo is a kit for making a million different projects — apps, videos, prototypes, plugins, exhibits, live performance effects, and more. Even if you don't have programming experience, Vuo lets you build your own stuff for Mac.
Vuo is the Finnish word for flow, and that's what Vuo is about — supporting your creative flow. When you're creating, you want to focus on your ideas. You don't want to be distracted or frustrated trying to figure out how your tools work. Vuo helps you stay in the groove by making it easy to find the building blocks you want, put them together, and tweak your creation until it's just the way you want it.
