Re: [plug]Creation:Splice - coming soon for Softimage

[Stefan Kubicek]

Looking very much forward to that! 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. We'll implement ICE nodes to provide the exact same container functionality. Of course there are going to be limitations, but ICE is actually going to be able to handle all data types supported by the hypergraph. Essentially imagine the bezier deformer in the video as a custom ICE node that can run within ICE, the maya hyper graph and Houdini, for example. I hope this helps, -H On 6/21/2013 10:17 AM, Raffaele Fragapane wrote: 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.

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 https://vimeo.com/groups/fabric/videos/54522530 Cheers, Felix On 21.06.2013 09:53, Byungchul Kang wrote: Nice!!!!

I can imagine it allowing KL-coded ICE ops, which could be like having scripted ice operators, which would be amazing.

As you know, Creation Platform is an extremely powerful framework that can be used to build a wide range of applications. However, in many cases studios have been telling us that the basic performance of our core processing engine would be of value within their existing tools. Splice offers TDs and programmers an easy way to start working with our core in a highly integrated manner, making it easier to move to building full-blow applications once they are familiar with the major components of the framework. http://fabricengine.com/creation/splice/ Link to Splice for Maya video: https://vimeo.com/68789512  Our first implementation of Splice is for Maya, and we’re excited to start the beta testing for this soon. If you’d like to join the testing group, please email b...@fabricengine.com and we’ll get you on the list. We aim to add Splice for Softimage soon after Siggraph, so you might want to get on board now and get familiar with KL (since the code will port between Spliced applications).
