I would assume it is possible - it depends on certain callbacks being available but I would guess that they are already there. fyi Blender is not currently on our roadmap. We will revisit this later in the year once we've had Fabric 2 in people's hands for a while and have a better sense of what peo...

Cool! Thanks for sharing Paul. Mootz has been modofied. I would love to hear his input on 901, if is that much better as the Foundry is saying. -EDIT- Just saw the presentation. Pretty cool! Congrats to all involved. P.S.: Paul, you almost got dragged to rant about EOL Softimage. :D We just announc...

Posted elsewhere but since it's relevant to this thread, the FMX presentation is up: http://fabricengine.com/fmx2015/

Eric Mootz presents the MODO work around 2/3 of the way through.

Presentation is now online: http://fabricengine.com/fmx2015/

Cheers,

No condescension - it's merely a request that you draw conclusions once you've used Canvas. Fabric was designed to handle everything from simple tools all the way to large complex applications. The docs reflect the full capacity of the framework.

If you want to build smaller 'utility' tools, you can do that as well. Canvas supports the full spectrum as it's just visual programming for KL. It's like pointing at Lagoa and saying 'see? ICE is only good for large scale R&D projects'. If you want to build large, complex systems then you can. ...

Hi guys - I'm at FMX so this will be short and sweet while I wait for the next session. Softimage support will be a release feature of Fabric 2.0, don't worry :) Modo, Max, Houdini and C4D will be be in beta. Helge was asked about the scope/breadth of Fabric compared to ICE - so it's accurate to say...

Luc-Eric once stole candy from a baby.






That may not be true.

Thought you might enjoy this one - image processing with Canvas using our GPU compute capability. [media]https://vimeo.com/122130309[/media] "In this video we take a look at using Fabric Canvas for image processing. Since the KL language that underlies Canvas has full GPU support, we experiment...

Hi there - we're not going to open-source the core technology of FE, which tends to put a bit of a dampener on things :) So there's nothing preventing people giving away FE tools that they build, and we in turn have committed to giving FE away for free to individual users. But knowing the OSS crowd,...

Ok, I understand. Fabric can be used for general computation tasks (the core of Fabric is a general computation engine, there is nothing 3D or even graphics specific about it), and can be extended to support different data types. We'll have some samples soon showing some non-3D use cases. The DFG (a...

I'm not sure I understand the question - what would be the goal of doing this? Output for a game runtime?

Here's a video from EricT he made this weekend (he is one of our testers) - this is an ICE solver that he converted to Canvas:

We do have a hunch about what people will go for, and that's an array of different tools with seamless data sharing capabilities. Fabric makes that possible - by enabling a lot of people to build those tools and having them available wherever people want them. That's the vision - not another monolit...

Thanks for taking the time to get your thoughts down. I'll answer as best I can :) colossal (to a certain extent) perhaps, but as an example, Exocortex did it... (with a small team) "Clara.io Grows to 100,000 Users in just 600 days" and they seem to be doing pretty well to say the least (!...

I have a question about the standalone stuff as you deprecated the python scene graph a few versions back ... just as i was starting to learn it :-s It was too complex for our customers to deploy, so we decided to pull it as everyone was just using Splice anyway (and we knew that 2.0 was coming - a...
