Re: Kraken 1.2 Released!

[Eric Thivierge]

We are still investigating the Unreal implementation but we've had a few
discussions on what this means and how it can be used going forward.

Best,

 Is it possible to skin or paint weight maps in Kraken, or Fabric engine
 ? and then pipe them back into other apps, is there a ui for this?

Eric,

There are/will be specific features for the Unreal Engine on the way?

I'm really curious to see what you're planning :)

 Hi everyone,

 I just wanted to share that we've just release Kraken 1.2. You can get
 more details here:

 Kraken is an Open Source rigging solution for Fabric Engine that allows
 you to use and define rigs and solvers that produce identical results
 across different animation applications. Some advantages to using Kraken
 include:

 – Leverages Fabric Engine to give consistent results across applications
 – Flexible, customizable, and extendable
 – Portable rigs between Maya and Softimage
 – Easy to use Biped workflow
 – Node based Kraken editor
 – Open Source

 For those lucky enough to be going to Siggraph this year, be sure to
 check out the Kraken presentation at the Fabric Engine User Group.

 We also have a presentation at DigiPro about the work Oculus Story
 Studio and Fabric Engine's Helge Mathee is doing with Kraken for VR and
 Unreal Engine (Yes we have a prototype of Kraken rigs running in Unreal!).

Re: Kraken 1.2 Released!

Great news!!! The weighting bit for the future has me intrigued.

Secretly I hope that Kraken and fabric end up being a full felged
character animation app. We need a program that is to animation and rigging
what Zbrush was to modeling...

Re: Kraken 1.2 Released!

[Eric Thivierge]

Hey Sebastien,

We'll be tackling geometry deformation in our 1.4 release where we will be
integrating the work Phil Taylor did with the Rigging Toolbox. With that
we'll also be providing tools for exporting geometry + skin weights to
Alembic and maybe some other tools for painting skin weights in a Fabric
tool.

Keep an eye on the Github Issues page of Kraken for all the issues we're
working on and the milestones they are slated for.
