We are proud the announce the release of CharacterWorks version 2024.1, an important update to the CharacterWorks 2024 series.
CharacterWorks 2024 runs on any laptop or desktop Windows PC with an OpenGL 4+ GPU and renders full-HD, true 3D dynamic text and graphics in real-time, streamed over the network via Newtek NDI, or SDI via Blackmagic Decklink or AJA hardware solutions.
CharacterWorks 2024 adds a huge number of new features to an already-powerful, feature-rich motion graphics system. The Instancer is a new construct that allows dynamic creation, layout and animation of graphics elements based on real-time data. It is a simple, powerful, yet flexible tool that makes the creation of all kinds of beautiful animated tables a breeze. That, however, is just the surface. Its synergy with all the other new features offered in CW 2024 is what makes it truly shine…
