SubjectiveZero v0.2.3
SubjectiveZero is an agentic harness and node editor for creative coding. Describe visual ideas as nodes, wire them into live media graphs, and compile them into native real-time graphics code.
Explore at the speed of prompts. Refine with the precision of code.
New
- Live node previews — every node with a texture output now shows its result right on the card, streaming live. Watch an effect chain transform your image node by node, TouchDesigner-style. A photo icon next to each output's display icon picks which output a card previews (or turns it off), and Graph ▸ Live Previews mutes them all at once.
- Zoomed-out preview tiles — zoom the canvas out and cards become pure preview tiles: your whole graph reads as pictures instead of labels. Zoom back in and the full cards return, wires and layout untouched.
- "No signal" indicator — a preview that has never received a frame shows a small glyph, so a node that genuinely outputs black is distinguishable from one that hasn't rendered yet.
Improved
- Big performance pass on the editor — idle CPU usage dropped dramatically (an always-on HUD animation was re-rendering the window every frame), wire animations and preview streaming now run on the GPU compositor with zero per-frame UI work, and previews cost ~nothing while playback is paused. Preview thumbnails are sharper on Retina displays and only stream for nodes that are actually on screen.
- Clearer errors when a project can't open — the alert now says what's actually wrong (e.g. the bundle moved or is missing its project.json) instead of a bare error code.
Notes
- Live previews make texture-node cards taller. If a project saved with an older version looks cramped or overlapping, run Graph ▸ Tidy Graph once — it lays everything out with the new sizes.
Requirements
- macOS 15.0 or later.
- Apple Silicon or Intel Mac.
