So has anyone gone down the crowdfunding route for plugin-dev yet? The
idea of some kind of crowd funded app store sounds really promising.
I'd like to go there with a good handful of modeling tools for
architectural stuff, which are more than halfway finished actually, but
for now my idealism

Raff is spot on, the return on investment is just not there. Very small
user base and prolific use of pirated software makes 3rd party development
completely unsustainable.
However, I have been thinking that crowd funding model could work
reasonable well in this case.

At Indiegogo, you can allow your campaign to run over its time limit and
let it keep accumulating funds.
Not sure how they feel about software, but if they're ok with it, you could
theoretically put a campaign price goal at a price at which the tool
provides enough guaranteed profit to warrant

I don't think I've -ever- seen more third party support for Softimage than

But FX is where you NEED those third parties, because if you don't have
polygonyzer, or a fluid system, or a rendering engine, there is no way you
can work your way towards shot completion by hacking thru, or working

Other fields are hard to serve, and

It looks really nice! But what about the original plan to create
'Portable Applications' which then run inside host applications like
maya and softimage? Basically what's the difference to the stuff in
these videos:
https://vimeo.com/groups/fabric/videos/56016233
the KL code would be portable, which if anything is a step in that
direction. The tricky bit will be the context containers, but that's
solvable too to some extent.
They seem to be continuing in that same direction to me.

Hey guys,
yes - absolutely. This is not a replacement for the portable application
concept (CPCAPI),
it's more a different route to deploy KL in an easier fashion. KL is our
biggest asset, and
allowing TDs to get a go at it with small effort brings value, we believe.

Christopher, Python and KL are both fairly easy languages. And together
through fabric engine they give the developer access to performance that is
usually only achievable with languages like C++ which is a mild pain to
learn compared to KL and Python.
