Hey all, It has been a couple months since we first announced http://Clara.io, I figured it was time for an update. While there are lots of improvements (over 1000 improvements and fixes since July), I figured I would share two that are relevant to the Softimage community.
First, we have put a fair bit of work into our FBX importer so that it is fast and robust. It is at least on par with the Maya and 3DS Max FBX importer with support for bones, multiple UVs, embedded textures, keyframes, and a lot more. Second, we have just finished this week is the ability to take your Clara.io scenes and embed them in web pages similar to how you can embed Vimeo or YouTube scenes. Together the high quality FBX import along with the web player make it possible to take your creations from Softimage (wohoo!) and push them to the web and put them in websites, opening up new avenues for delivering content. We are currently taking feature requests for new player modes so that we can meet everyone's needs here. Here are two scenes that we imported from FBX and make viewable in our player: Ducati bike http://clara.io/embed/abde712f-9f69-485d-90f9-d14d0f3a96e5 Lamborghini http://clara.io/embed/98a74a2e-81dc-44dd-a3d1-2c7c54e324d1 And with the Clara.io editor it is really easy to achieve the WebGL look you want without having to do repeated exports from your desktop tool of choice trying to get an import to look just right. -- Best regards, Ben Houston Voice: 613-762-4113 Skype: ben.exocortex Twitter: @exocortexcom http://Exocortex.com - Passionate CG Software Professionals.
