There is nothing stopping you from creating solvers currently. We have a Hair simulation solver going at Hybride currently that Ahmidou is pushing on. Getting some awesome results. Utilizing Fabric for the calculations and pushing back into Softimage to strands. Nothing stopping us doing the same in Maya I don't think either.
I wouldn't say that Fabric is just working on Rigging. It's the easiest thing to target currently as it's mostly just driving transforms, but there isn't anything stopping you from doing some work in other areas. For solvers, we'll be shipping Kraken with a few standard ones that you'll be able to use and build your own components from: 2 Bone IK / FK N Bone IK / FK Bezier Spine Multi Pose Constraint -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Tue, Jul 7, 2015 at 10:23 AM, Juhani Karlsson <juhani.karls...@talvi.com> wrote: > I was thinking more about the simulation solvers.
