I'd say speed, portability, extensibility and diversity of existing interoperability
options (Max, Maya, Soft, and C4D soon?). You do start at a lower level though (you have
to write actual code to get anywhere, even if it's "just" Python and KL).
With HE you start at a much higher level (you can make use of an awful lot of
existing functionality that's ready to use),
at the expense of the benefits outlined above, including the cost of at least
one Houdini license, unless HE is compatible with Houdini Apprentice or the
starving artist edition.
Speed is where Fabric Engine chines, no ?

I guess theoretically you could do everything with it that Houdini can
do in terms of generating and manipulating geometry,
but at least judging by the video it's lack of speed is gpoing to
restrict it's use to what you described: creating assets and "baking
them off". It would have been cool to have procedural content and/or
animation created "on the fly" (which still might be feasible for
simple stuff).
I dont think their idea is to make it run in real time. it is
probably more
directed at making procedural levels that are baked off once they are
satisfied with results... right?

That's one thing artists and programmers have in common: their
tendency to
occasionally bite off more than they can chew (like replacing a
REYES-based
rendercore with a bidirectional path tracer and maintaining backwards
compatibility ;-).
If you want to become a "slave of the machine", learn programming.

Uhhhhh...I guess not. But for me...as I've been getting more into
games
and Unity...it opens up a whole new range of possibilities. I'm now
thinking of building "smart objects" in Houdini maybe to bring
into Unity.
Something I can't do with Soft. Just trying to pick the right
path of
what I dedicate my time to next.

Was your reason to use Soft a superior interoperability with Houdini?

Soooo..whats this mean for Soft I wonder? Anything? Another
reason to
not use it?

soooo... should we start a website for artist to share/sell their ICE
assets?
We could call it Andbolt.com (the url is available)
Then develop an ICE Engine app that could port ICE assets
into Houdini, Cinema3D, 3DStudioMax, Maya, etc.

The ICE solution to Maya... finally...

Dont think there will be a rush to get this into XSI. Maya will be
the
app to get it,
