Example Projects

Mouse Follow Worm In this example, the Mouse node is used to control the position of the red circle, while the rest of the tail-following effect is accomplished by a series of Point nodes which extract the position of their parent node.

Chrome Novacron

This example demonstrates how it possible to create a pseudo-three dimensional scene using a couple of 3D Rotate nodes and a Mouse node which adds interactivity and the illusion of a camera pivoting the scene. Use it as a bootstrap to create your own interactive "3D" visuals.

We are currently working on a new version of the Mouse node to support touch screens.
