Helge, I find the creation platform both really exciting, and from what I've seen as it grows its learning curve intimidating.
I'm an artist-turned-TD and a script monkey largely educated by watching your jscript videos and lectures at Barnyard, and later taking Raffaele's workshop... plus self training, bothering folks like you, Graham and Brad, and a (nasty) year spent in Mel. In other words, I'm (I think) a pretty typical non-developer technical artist. Is the Creation Platform something for folks like me, who spends about 40% of my time scripting and the rest in creating assets and reasonably complex stuff in ICE? Or is it targeted squarely at TDs who spend the bulk of their time scripting, ie more for those at the developer end of the scale? Not that I'm not willing to always be stretching my capabilities to grow as a TD and artist. I'm just trying to figure out who you see as the typical Fabric Creation Platform user. Kudos to the regular outreach and amazingly fast and production-targeted development of Fabric, it's been really awesome to watch it come to life.
