Hi Thomas, It is possible to do this. I'm working on a sample scene for you. The only thing is that you can't drive maps / vertex colors in 3dsMax with Fabric right now. However what you could do is set these weights / vertex colors on the Fabric geometry object in the graph and export an Alembic of the cached deformation which includes these properties. Then import it back into 3dsMax or Maya and drive maps / vertex colors by that cached data. I'm working on getting the sample scene running in Maya and 3dsMax so that it'll be included for the next release hopefully. I'll be posting a forum topic in our forums and will link back when done. I just wanted to let you know I'm on it. :)
