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.
