We have been buzzing all week as this is the first time we've been able to show a 'real world' use case for the GPU compute stuff with a big delta. Good timing since we are presenting it at GTC next week ;) On 13 March 2015 at 15:14, Steven Caron wrote: > paul, you guys are making me so giddy! t

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

There is no standard particle system / nodes currently but eventually there will be. Nothing stopping you from doing one yourself or someone else doing it. I think TD's will have good employment opportunities in the short and long term with this kind of work. It's not a bad thing. :) Eric T.

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

I would think so. There is not that much in particles going on. I remember seeing some SPH examples. I would also like to see simple standalone for Fabric so there would not be the application specific splice in the middle. Its nice to hear its planned. : ) - J On 12 March 2015 at 16:41, Chris Ma

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

One thing you kind of see / feel already is that you can start mixing things you normally couldn't in ICE. An example is to read in an alembic and have it as an input into a rig. An example is to load an alembic of your ground and have your leg solvers collide with it. Of note would be that you

This certainly looks amazing, but the obvious question is how similar is this to ICE? What are the differences, benefits, positives, negatives, etc etc It certainly looks a lot like ICE! Which I like! On 12 March 2015 at 00:00, Paul Doyle wrote: > We have a standalone, it just doesn't have the

We have a standalone, it just doesn't have the viewport hooked in yet (but you can do all the data processing you like). The next alpha will have it. The standalone is for building specialised applications (viewers, playback tools etc). Canvas graphs move seamlessly between the Fabric standalone a

I suppose, it would be awfully interesting to have a small standalone environment in which to test deformers and solvers independently of other apps, but that might start to look worryingly like a DCC :P all in good time ;) On 11 March 2015 at 20:58, Paul Doyle wrote: > Paul is on the alpha, b

Hey Leonard, You can set an environment variable that Canvas looks to for custom presets. You then make folders within it and can organize them that way. It's already very easy to organize the presets. Eric T. On 3/10/2015 9:36 AM, Leonard Koch wrote: This looks really great. Congratulatio

To Paul and the other Fabric crew, I too want to thank you. The thing I preach whenever possible is that we have to be ready to move software apps at the drop of a hat (a point made crystal clear to me about a year ago). If there is one thing I miss, though, it is ICE. I am happy to use and explor

Yes - writing extensions for Fabric is simple, as is wrapping an existing C/C++ library as a Fabric extension. There are no dependencies on Fabric Software to build anything, it's all there for developers to build upon. More cool stuff next week, it should get you guys thinking :) On 7 March 2015
