i think Jordi has a similar (mis)conception about Fabric as many of us do, we saw the amazing fur 'experiment' and other demos, and viewed them as purchasable plugins to our current architecture...take my damn money already!
however i think the power is in enabling studios to develop their own 'plugins' the downfall for me is that like many studios, we have NO r&d budgets (try working on TV docs and you'll see!) so we have to look to solutions we can purchase as a plugin or find a work around... a _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jordi Bares Sent: 27 February 2014 18:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: new upgrade policy I have the feeling I won't have the resources to build these kind of tools, looks to me like you do tools for R&D which is great but we don't do R&D, in fact, very few people do. Therefore I am looking at Fabric Engine with a lot of interest but I don't picture it yet.. may be I simply don't get it yet and I am very happy you got the MPC deal as surely you guys deserve it for the amazing technology you have develop but I still don't see it. May be is simply the marketing needs to up its game? I would love to know a bit more about your roadmap because if I could fill the gaps in Houdini with FE I would rather do that and keep a simpler pipeline. thanks in advance Paul Jordi Bares [email protected] On 27 Feb 2014, at 17:58, Paul Doyle <[email protected]> wrote: On 27 February 2014 12:54, Jordi Bares <[email protected]> wrote: Fabric Engine looks very promising but I wonder what their business model really is so I am quite cautious. The world is full of great ideas but if they don't make money that is the end of it. No idea what you're getting at here Jordi - we recently closed a global site license deal with MPC. Interested to understand what your concern is so I can address it...
