Subject: Fabric Engine 2.1
Hey all,
There is a new Fabric Engine release 2.1 that is now out. You can check out
these 2 videos, one which is the overview of the full release and the other
covering the new Attribute presets.
Overview

Attributes Presets

Some highlights:
a.. Environment variables automatically set within Fabric for Softimage
plugin to make it easier to get up and running without having to set variables
by hand.
b.. Xfo and Mat44 arrays are now supported in Softimage so you can easily
drive kinematics for arrays of objects.
c.. The Value Editor in 2.0.x had its quirks. The good news is that it has
been completely rewritten and we now have a really good foundation to add more
tricks in the future. We’ve added some pretty useful elements like spin boxes
and now you can skin it with QSS.
d.. The 'time to usefulness' in Canvas has been longer than we intended. To
help with this, we have added dozens of new presets and samples. Some of you
have already seen these in the daily builds, but there are a few new goodies
that we held back for the release itself - check out the new Attributes Presets
in 2.1!
e.. * Attribute Presets *
a.. Getting and setting attribute values
b.. Conversion between attribute types
c.. Debug drawing facilities
d.. Presets for basic math and vector math
e.. Geometry math presets
f.. Closest point and raycast presets
g.. Transfer attributes between geometries
f.. It's been difficult to figure out what’s gone wrong when a graph fails or
has a broken connection. The new Diagnostics Window should save you lots of
time and aggravation if / when this happens.
g.. There are loads of other things in this release, like the new
CanvasDeformer node in Fabric for Maya that is 4-5x faster than using
CanvasNode, and conveniences like being able to drag and drop a .canvas file
into Canvas.
