Derivative TouchDesigner

Derivative’s TouchDesigner is a new programming tool, at least for me. It’s a graphical programming language for art, video game prototyping, 3d animation, audio and more. It’s also got support for OSC, XML and html, and that’s a good thing! There are two versions, one free and one you have to pay for. Here’s a list of some of the things it can be used for.  I would like to try it out when I get some free time..
