Hi Thanks for the reply. Adrian´s Post is exactly my point, and Situation. As we are owning the AD Suite. Tools which will work in Softimage and Maya (if I need to open it) is very interesting and a big +, but like Adrian said, we are a small studio so my use case would be using Finished tools,Plugins,Modules. Well let´s see what the Future brings, I´m sure you will make the best out of it.

RE: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension
Big +1 here. We are small and have no developers on hand, so we are fully reliant on out of the box tools like Adrian explains. If we should consider investing in a Fabric based pipeline we will want ready to go modules, and it would be awesome to share between Soft and Maya, as it would make collaboration so much easier.

Re: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension
What we've been doing this year is paring back the work on modules in order to focus on the core platform. We're nearly four years in to this now, which is around the point that platforms really start to come together. Hopefully that means that studios with limited technical resources will start to see benefit from Fabric Engine in 2014 - particularly with Splice. We're working on some very cool stuff for 2014 that I'm excited about, it will be fun when we're ready to show it. One of the goals for Fabric is to provide a solid platform for third party developers to build upon. We view that as the best way for us to be successful, and also the fastest way for 'polished' functionality to get into the hands of studios with limited/no RD resources. This will all come together next year - Eric is the first to really jump into this and we will learn a lot from working with him. Initially the licensing approach will be quite simple: we give individuals one free license, we give studios two free licenses. After that people have to buy Fabric licenses. Third party developers can sell their own extensions and will need to handle their own licensing within that. This will always be the easy option for a developer, but it's a plug-in model i.e. their customers already have to own Fabric. What we want to add is a model where third party devs can create Fabric tools that are self contained and work within our licensing system. There are a few things that have to come together for that to work, but we're getting there.

Re: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension
Let me explain how the upcoming emPolygonizer4 for Maya will look like, license wise. Note that I am talking about the conventional emPolygonizer4 for Maya, not about the Fabric one. But hopefully it will not be very different. The upcoming emPolygonizer4 for Maya will be pretty much identical in usage and functionality to the original Softimage emPolygonizer4. They will also have the exact same price per seat and the licensing will be identical, too, meaning that freelancers and/or studios who already own Softimage emPolygonizer4 licenses can use those exact same licenses to unlock emPolygonizer4 for Maya. Especially companies that work with two or more 3D apps, say Softimage and Maya, need not worry about the licensing of Mootzoid plugins: a license is a license is a license, 'peu importe la couleur' :) Cheers, Eric - Original Message - From: Markus Cermak To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Sent: Friday, December 20, 2013 12:45 PM Subject: Re: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension Hi Thanks for the reply.

Re: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension
One of the major benefits is customizability, relaying functionality into other DCCs. If you don't like it don't think about Maya, but for example running emPolygonizer directly in Arnold for example is huge. Being able to design the pipeline for geometry generation with a portable system makes things much easier. One of the slowest bits usually with heavy geometry is exchanging data. With our system you'll be able to directly render data into the Softimage viewport, without any additional data exchange (optionally), which will dramatically increase performance. -H On 12/19/2013 6:53 PM, Eric Thivierge wrote: Honestly I'd really like to keep this on topic if we can.

Re: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension
I know a few third party developers, and it's tough for them to make money in the VFX industry. Providing a way for them to target multiple DCC applications is a good way to help them succeed, which ultimately leads to them building new plugins. As much as you dislike the notion of Eric building for other applications, he has to make a living. It's also worth considering all the Max and Maya plugin developers that might target Softimage as well... As for us buying Softimage from Autodesk - I'm not quite sure what we'd do with it, or why AD would ever sell it :) On 19 December 2013 12:56, Helge Mathee helge.mat...@gmx.net wrote: One of the major benefits is customizability, relaying functionality into other DCCs.

But eventually I couldn't see why he couldn't move more to Fabric. Would be great for him to earn more money and have the tools directly translate to Maya for better pipeline interop. Eric T.

Re: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension
Hey guys, thank you very much for the kind response to the first little FE+Mootzoid test! And many thanks to Helge and the Fabric team for their support during these last four days. All I can say is that the new EDK is really an awesome feature. I still cannot believe that Helge and I managed to make that polygonizer extension in only four days... he, he, it was almost too easy ;) In January I will release a beta of the emPolygonizer4 KL extension (Windows/Linux) along with a video tutorial on how to use it in your own KL code. Will also start converting certain of my C++ functions to KL (sort of a emTools for KL) to get familiar with it. Fun times ahead! Take care, Eric
Re: emPolygonizer in Fabric Engine using KL extension
Hey guys, I got one little question about 3rd Party stuff in Fabric Engine. Hows the licensing gonna work out. Will it be possible to buy lets say Erics Polygonizer with Fabric support as a Standalone (without owning or using any other Fabric Engine stuff) and use it in Softimage (because of speed improvements) or will it only be interesting for Companies that got Fabric Engine anyway and now extend their toolset.?
