From full live to fully pre-programmed

The combination of linear and non-linear animation in SMODE is at the forefront of new real-time animation techniques for live staging and interactivity.

Merge timelined animations and cue-lists in sequences. Connect any feature interacting with the audience or or the artist, create infinite loops at a glance, and link anything to an input timecode or a control console.

Any animation scenario

Choose your scenario: from pre-written and time coded shows to total live improvisation. 

SMODE blurs the lines between classic timelines (like After Effects) and cueing concepts from live staging.

Powerful timelines…

Timelines on SMODE are second to none. Control everything down to the smallest detail and scale it on big shows with an array of advanced content.

…combined with live cueing!

Treat each timeline as a cue. Several cues can run simultaneously and beyond timelines. SMODE offers real-time, specific, powerful, non linear animation mechanisms inspired by live staging: cues, loops, time markers and standalone players.

Data-driven animation

Any given data source can become a ‘SMODE controller’ with a direct impact on animation: time of the day, live stock market fluctuation, motion capture, an infra-red camera feed, or a live audio input.

Fully addressable parameters

Connect every single parameter to an external device (MIDI, tracked camera, ...).

Link parameters together and change all at once with a single slider, use text parameters to change the path of multiple media at once, and apply mathematical operators to process control data.
