This is the first in a series. It is the aim to have 1 video and blog post per week.

Sorry there is a misunderstanding here. There are many nodes in Fabric Engine that already handle arrays and process them just like ICE does. A simple loop which was what the original question was, needs to be done by hand since the specialized nodes that handle arrays already won't be what users ma...

You'll have to use a Function Node to take in the array and create a for loop using code for now:

Email support and see if they still have the scene. support@fabricengine.com

Might be a deprecated sample scene but you should take a look here:

Thanks Eric for the lengthy reply. I'm with Pooby on the idiot-proof thing, is it at all possible to just have an install.exe that takes care of everything apart from connecting the workgroup? You'll have to ask Fabric Support about that one. If I get what you're saying, for a 'user', not TD/progra...

@Pooby: If you are having issues with Fabric 2.0, you should email support@fabricengine.com Simple Setup: In general, if you're not going to be doing any custom KL Extensions or custom Canvas nodes, you don't need to set any variables. You just need to connect to the Softimage workgroup in that ship...

Just a word of advice, I would steer away from setting the variables by hand and instead, set them using a .bat file. I have some examples of how I do this for Kraken but it's the same without. I'd copy the code out of the prompt.bat that ships with Fabric and just add the call to launch Softimage a...

I'll be there Sunday - Tues.

3rd party dev's will have mechanisms eventually to easily distribute their tools. I've been told by Paul that this is something they will address. Not that it's hard to get things going. I haven't tried the retopo tool yet but I think you just have to add the path to the KL code to the FABRIC_EXTS_P...

Hey all, In regards to Kraken, we just need more Fabric integrations to get Kraken in other DCC's. 3ds max is the closest that I know of but still needs more polish and then we can take a week and create the Kraken Max plug-in. Same for other DCC's. As soon as they support Splice / Canvas it's only ...

Look up the PickPosition command.

Then you'll have to do some code to get the returned object from the Import commands you're looking for. Then based on the picked position, you will need to set the transform of the objects you import.

Well, you only have access to things that the DCC allows you to. I don't think we could get to the internals of Softimage just because we can us Canvas. Sorry, as I suspect this to be a stupid question: understanding Fabric is "limited" to what a specific host DCC allows it to do, how doe...

I'm not trying to pick your post apart in a malicious way but I think it's important to go through some of this. The part that i dont get is, how can they build a complete rigging and crowd system in some months but not some basic modeling tools. There is no complete rigging system. Osiris was their...

Believe me, there will be quite a bit of info coming out about the work we did. We presented at the Fabric User Group at Siggraph last year and will probably be there again this year showing stuff we've done.
