Node-based real-time,
on the open web.
TouchDesigner is the king of node-based real-time media — for installations, shows and hardware, on the desktop. nuflo takes node-based real-time 3D to the web: it runs in any browser, embeds in a page with one tag, and ships without a runtime to license.

| Node-based real-time graph | Yes | Yes |
| Runs in any browser, nothing to install | Yes | Desktop app |
| Ships as a web page / embeddable component | Yes | Built for installs / output |
| Signal-driven interaction (scroll / pointer / time) | Yes | CHOPs — very strong |
| Web-native PBR / glass materials | Yes | Desktop GPU render |
| Hardware / live-media I/O (sensors, DMX, video) | Not the focus | Industry-leading |
| Code escape hatch | Yes | Python / GLSL |
| Cost | Free plan | Free non-commercial; paid pro |
The web is the canvas
No executable to run on-site, no machine to babysit. A nuflo scene opens in a browser and embeds in any page with one tag.
Real-time, the web way
WebGPU rendering and continuous signals — scroll, pointer, time — drive the scene live, built for pages and products, not just installations.
Ship without a runtime
Export a self-contained <nf-scene> component you host yourself — nothing to license per machine, nothing calling home.
Where TouchDesigner is strong
TouchDesigner is in a class of its own for real-time installations and live media — hardware I/O, projection mapping, sensor and video pipelines, and a battle-tested CHOP signal system, all running on dedicated machines. nuflo isn't built for the show floor. It's built for the web — node-based real-time 3D that any visitor can open in a browser.
