Nodes 4 Demo

A New Generation of 3D Graphics

Nodes offers unprecedented power to create connected motion graphics and abstract particle universes. Nodes has been used by leading artists to create high-end screen graphics in motion pictures like The Avengers, Planet of the Apes and Ender's Game.

Nodes is developed by a passionate team dedicated to VFX, motion design, and animated typography. It's an exciting worldwide collaboration where artists and software engineers work together to build interactive tools that evolve alongside Apple's technology.

Visualize and Move Fast

Yanobox Nodes provides a comprehensive toolset to animate a huge number of 2D and 3D visual elements.

Procedural Geometry

Start with primitives, models or text to create a point cloud. Amplify the scene with particles, symbols, 3D models and titles attached to each node.

Procedural Geometry

Particle Effects

Play with randomness and probabilities. Inject noise or oscillations. Define relationships between nodes with lines and Bezier curves.

Particle Effects

Charting

Create charts, dials and abstract schematics that animate with the precision of a machine and the quality of an illustration.

Charting

Structure and Networks

Build giant architectural structures then fly over 3D models and wireframes with precision.

What’s New in Nodes 4

Engineered for Apple Silicon with Metal GPU acceleration, this major update introduces a full 3D engine.

Support for 3D Models and Voxels

Each node can now embed a 3D model. Create clusters of voxels from text or any procedural distribution. Compose sets from the 80 included primitives or load your own models. An exciting new direction, and it's only the beginning.

Text-to-voxels

Lighting and Bloom

Explore looks with real-time lighting based on spherical harmonics, emissive nodes with fast bloom effects, fresnel and ambient occlusion.

Lighting and Bloom

Revamped Tab-Based UI

Navigate deeper into parameter and module subgroups. Trigger functions with a click, with instant visual feedback from the icons.

Revamped Tab-based UI

Slick Onboard Animator

Mix up cascading sequences and smooth flows. Nodes 4 implements both procedural and time-range controls.

Easily blend movements and create rhythmic mutations with the new intuitive interface. Use one of the 6 animation slots and choose a parameter from over 50 destinations. Apply ramps, oscillations or triggers within a specific time range and optional ease curves. Of course, the original parameters are still keyframable. Best of both worlds!

Onboard Animator

Accelerated Styled Text

Combine any fonts and symbols with control over color, size, anchor and orientation.

Standard Styled Text Editor

For each node, customize font, style, color and kerning through a familiar interface. Import RTF files. Symbols and your custom fonts are also supported.

Text Editor

Anchored Text

Optionally attach text to models or voxel faces and set their alignment. Text remains attached to each node and follows its scale and rotation around any axis.

Anchored Text

Animated Text Lists and Numbers

Play with thousands of real-time styled text layers and random numbers, or fly over typographic clusters.

Animated Text Lists

Ingenious Orientation System

Animate styled text with linear, radial or polar coordinates. Easily create spatial choreography around any geometry.

Orientation System

Feature films using Nodes

Jayse Hansen

I think it just may be the best plugin ever written. And I don't mean that lightly. It's crazy fun to just play and design unique new things with. I've been using Nodes for years in films like Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Avengers and Ender's Game. Its ability to customize the design of every detail and sophisticated way of displaying connected data driven graphics that respond to the After Effects camera makes it essential for me in creating conceptual and final UI designs for feature film.

Nodes is actually my absolute favorite go-to weapon of choice, as much of my work has a futuristic feel, and Nodes is the only tool that can do serious advanced wireframing with a lot of control.

This is one of the most creative tools I've worked with in years. It's fast, logical, very easy to use, and at the same time quite advanced if you dig in deeper.
