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 coder, I don't code, do you have plan of selling those
"Fabricated" tools separatly. Or is there going to be something like Ice
visual way of buildings things someday in FE ?

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: http://fabricengine.com/creation/integrations/
This work allows us to integrate deeply with Maya and Softimage (and
other C++ applications) – some videos:
Overview: https://vimeo.com/50165431
Case Study - Tree generator: https://vimeo.com/50233098
Case Study - Deformer: https://vimeo.com/50290984
We’re very excited by this work – a major goal for Fabric has been to
enable portability of custom tools between DCC applications, and FEDG
allows us to do that. This is just the first stage of this part of the
project, so feedback and questions would be really helpful.
Thanks a lot,
Team Fabric

Just to clarify Guillaume's hint:
I will be showing upcoming Softimage dedicated features and
information at the Softimage Uebertage on Friday.
We will launch the same information online as well, but you're
welcome to watch the recorded sessions
of Uebertage since they will be held in english.
For more questions email me privately please.

Thanks Stefan !
About your other questions, lets wait a couple of days...

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. The only thing
I was unable to decipher from the given information was how
the connection to other DCC apps works (assuming this is
different as each app has different interfaces). I can see
that Maya integration has come pretty far (rendering directly
into the viewport etc), the FE homepage also mentions C4D and
Softimage at places, but nothing concrete. Can you shed some
light onto how far this has evolved? Lets say I was to write
a plugin for Softimage that uses FE to do the number
crunching, would I have to take care of communication with FE
myself, or are there any building blocks I can use to
establish this connection? Can FE render into a Softimage
viewport as well? Custom Display Host? What about Modo,
Houdini, Blender?
Cheers,
Stefan
Hi everyone,
I can't resist to show you my first application made
using Creation
Platform :).
So here is an SPH solver, to simulate various type of
liquids using
particles: http://vimeo.com/groups/fabric/videos/50136753
After a couple of days, I was really impressed on how
easy it was to
navigate in such system. Doing the same thing in ICE or
Houdini VOPs sounds
much more like a 'nodal graph nightmare' to me :).
Sometime, visual nodal programming is just not the good
way to build
complex things.
But to keep a link with Softimage (and for those who
don't know Fabric
Engine technology yet), the very interesting thing is
that this kind of
solver could be used directly from your favourite DCC .
That means that the
same code written to define a rig solver, a particle
effect, a geometry
generator or a deformer could be use between several
applications like
Softimage or Maya.
Cheers,
Guillaume Laforge
