TiXL (formerly Tooll3) is a free, open-source desktop application for creating realtime motion graphics, combining graph-based procedural content generation with keyframe animation. It targets artists making audio-reactive VJ content and installations, as well as technical artists writing shaders and integrating hardware via OSC, MIDI, and Spout.

Use cases

• create realtime motion graphics for live performances
• build audio-reactive VJ visuals
• design procedural animations with a node graph
• combine keyframe animation with automation
• write fragment and compute shaders for visuals
• connect MIDI controllers and OSC/Spout data sources
• export standalone visual executables for installations

When to choose

• you need realtime, audio-reactive visuals for VJing or installations
• you want a free open-source alternative to commercial motion graphics tools
• you want to mix procedural graph-based generation with keyframe animation
• you are a technical artist who wants direct shader-level control

When to avoid

• you need offline rendering of complex cinematic motion graphics for film
• you require a tool with broad industry plugin ecosystems like After Effects
• you work primarily on macOS or Linux without Windows support
• you need a lightweight tool for simple video editing
