Welcome to OverMox Docs

OverMox is a node-based overlay engine that lets you build stunning, dynamic overlays and interactive scenes for your stream, no coding required. The workspace is split across two applications: the OverMox app for building scenes and managing assets, and the Controller app for visual scripting with nodes. These docs cover everything from first launch to advanced node logic.

The OverMox App

The OverMox app is your main workspace for building scenes, managing assets, and sending output to your stream.

Stage overview

Your 3D viewport for viewing and arranging scene objects. Place images, videos, 3D models, web sources, text, shapes, and more, then position everything with the toolbar tools: Hand, Move, Rotate, Scale, and Rect.

Hierarchy overview

A tree view of every object in your scene. Select, rename, reorder, and nest objects into parent-child groups so moving a parent moves all its children.

Inspector overview

Context-sensitive property editor that changes based on your selection. Edit transforms, components, and asset properties, all in one place.

Project overview

Your asset file browser. Import media, create live sources (webcam, window capture, web source, NDI, Spout), and organize everything into folders.

Output overview

Send your scene to streaming software. Set resolution, frame rate, and camera, then enable Spout or NDI output. Both can run simultaneously.

Console overview

System message log showing info, warnings, and errors. Covers asset loading issues, connection problems, and save errors. Filter by severity.

The top menu bar covering File, Edit, Window, Elements, and Help. Manage scenes, arrange your layout, add objects, and launch the Controller.

Settings

Application-level preferences for UI scaling, FPS cap, stage grid display, camera navigation, default lighting, and playback behavior.

Project Settings

Project Settings

Per-project configuration for physics and graphics quality. The collision matrix controls which object layers interact with each other.

The Controller

The Controller is a separate application for building logic with visual scripting, no code required. Launch it from File, then Open Controller in OverMox.

Node Graph overview

The visual scripting canvas where you build logic by connecting nodes with wires. Trigger nodes fire from stream events, button presses, and timers.

Variables Panel

Variables Panel

Create and manage named variables (Int, Float, String, Bool, Vector, Array) shared across your node graphs.

Object Selector

Object Selector

A picker that appears when a node needs a reference to an asset, scene object, or camera. Tabbed by type with search.

Controller Menus

Graph file operations (New, Save, Import) and editing commands (Undo, Redo, copy/paste nodes).

Controller Console

Node graph debug log showing execution messages tagged by source. Use Log nodes for custom output.

Preferences

Visual settings for wire color inheritance from port types and color muting in large graphs.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Quick reference for all Controller shortcuts, accessible from Help, then Shortcuts.
