(posted to a few places already, but just in case anyone missed it) Hi guys – we’ve been keeping quiet about this so that Helge could present something new at the Softimage Ubertage event today. He should have just finished presenting, so I am happy to share this work publicly:

Hi Paul, Here is my feedback: Now that you've realized you had to move away from browser integration (at least for now), perhaps you will realize that you still have a flawed business model. That is, unless your intentions are to sell Fabric to Autodesk (or someone else) as soon they will

Hi Guy - if your suggestion is that not open-sourcing software is a flawed business model, then I'm not sure there's much to discuss. I disagree. Thanks, Paul On 28 September 2012 11:02, Guy Rabiller guy.rabil...@radfac.com wrote: Hi Paul, Here is my feedback: Now that you've realized you

Hey there :) Just watched the 3 videos, but I'd need a bit of enlightment. If I understand well, FE is a software that allows to buid tools (deformer, procedural generator of whatever, etc.)(a bit like compound, but with an FE format) that can be integrated within SI or Maya. I'm a non python

I was not speaking generally, but specifically for toolkits such as Qt and Fabric used to create applications - and regarding our CGI industry context. Nothing wrong not being agree though. Thanks for the hint about your intentions. Cheers, Guy. -- guy rabiller | raa.tel | radfac

Hi Olivier - we sell the platform as a whole, which includes the modules, plugins and sample applications you see on our website. We give 1 free license to individuals (commercial included) and 2 free rental licenses to companies - after that, you can buy or rent additional licenses - pricing

Hi Guy - Companies build commercial products using open-source software all the time - our business is making software and selling it, otherwise we can't be in business. Software engineers are not cheap, and service based businesses built on top of OSS require markets with a large volume of

Thank's Paul, It would be a good idea to keep an ice-like way of building things. I mean if every body here on the list knows how to make things in Ice, that just shorten the learning curve for potential clients. But I guess you already think of that. And there might not have dozen of ways to

Hey Paul that is a very generous pricing model. One thing not quite clear... does one need a FE license to run a FE built software that is integrated into, say SI? Even if he is not aware of how the application was built. So for example if you run a renederer and a fluid simulator, both built in

Awesome Guillaume! You just encouraged me to spend the better half of this Morning to watch old and new Fabric Engine (FE) demo videos again. I must admit I had a hard time understanding what it really is when it was introduced a few months ago, but I can see clearly now where this is going.
