something
else.
Motion Graphics
Ventuz allows you to take your familiar workflows from your favorite compositors, combine them with the capabilities your favorite visual effects plugins and apply them all in one package in a realtime environment. Not only can you use realtime particles and realtime effects to create stunning visuals in 2D and 3D, but you also can, with virtually no extra effort, make them interactive or data driven. You want to creata a particle-driven visualization animation running off some data feed? No problem. You want to make a motion graphics element touch or sensor driven? No problem. Or maybe you want to walk through your crazy visual display in VR? Just put on your headset, done.
VENTUZ and UX/UI Design
UI and UX design, especially in the touchscreen or VR/AR worlds can be rather complex to prototype for. Ventuz allows you to build and try things extremely quickly. You can set up a UI and make it interactive with a few clicks, with unlimited room for complexity, behaviours or constraints. Not only that, but you can iterate and try out different design elements at the same speed. This rapid workflow for UI/UX design and low cost of experimentation makes Ventuz a popular choice for FUI work, where complex, visually rich and futuristic UI design are daily chores. But Ventuz also brings with it a very modular approach to its content and workflow, allowing you to re-use and replace items easily.
Finally, because of its inherent support for touch, gestures, controllers, OSC and open nature towards external signals, you can quickly attach it to prototype, experimental or placeholder hardware without extensive programming.
“I use Ventuz as an authoring tool. It allows me to see my assets in a different way and get new ideas. Ventuz is like a thin brush when you are painting – it is the tool for details. The small things that will really make a difference, those come out in Ventuz for me. Even though my assets already exist, Ventuz shows me ways to visualize that I haven’t thought about, especially with the layer structure and the effects. It is the perfect tool to experiment. And that is when people can get creative, when they try out something, discard it and go another way. There are still serendipity moments here. Things I wasn’t looking for, I find them in Ventuz.”
