About NodeBox

NodeBox 3 lets designers build visuals by connecting nodes instead of writing programs. It suits generative design, rapid data visualization and repetitive production work. It can import data formats such as Excel spreadsheets, and you can write your own importers and exporters.

Every parameter can be animated, and animations export as common movie formats or as image sequences. You can customize existing nodes or build new ones from scratch. The source code is published on GitHub, and the site hosts documentation, screencasts and a tutorial.

Strengths

  • Generative design through a visual node interface
  • Imports spreadsheets and other data for visualization
  • Any parameter can be animated and exported as video or image sequences
  • Custom nodes can be written from scratch

Limitations

  • Node-based workflow takes time to learn
