Wow, very .. exciting! love what it’s doing with the image processing and how 
it goes that easily into the GPU.

Thought you might enjoy this one: https://vimeo.com/122130309 - image 
processing with Canvas using our GPU compute capability.



"In this video we take a look at using Fabric Canvas for image processing. 
Since the KL language that underlies Canvas has full GPU support, we 
experimented with a continuous GPU pipeline for image processing. All nodes in 
the video (except for the file loaders) are live (not cached). This allows for 
interactive framerates on HD full float composites.

Inline drawing and eventually RTR but from what I've seen it
doesn't impact performance hard when you do.

You could also write out image sequences of where your
character is walking or where meshes are colliding too since
they have image libraries available. The work just needs to be
done to map those areas to UV space. But it's possible. So
many areas are within reach from what seems day one where with
ICE we waited so long for so many features we never got. No
standard tools for writing out images from ICE. :(

Another major thing for me is that you can convert your code
into nodes using the provided utility. You code up some
methods using KL (at the level of javascript & Python in
syntax complexity) and you get the nodes almost for free.

One thing I'm looking forward to and that I've already
experienced in our current production, is how easy it is to
re-use code throughout different systems. I can't go into too
much detail but imagine writing a solver that works for rigs
in all your DCC's and can work in specialized tools such as
crowd tools too with little extra work. :) It's awesome to see
things working the same across DCC's and tools.

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 ;)

You'll see some demos from us in the next week or two that will show some
of the breadth of Fabric. There are some other big features coming as well
in the next few drops.

If I want to get any point across to people about FE2.0 and Canvas, it's
this: Canvas is a visual programming front-end for everything that Fabric
can already do. If there's a demo on our website or vimeo channel, you can
build that with Canvas. This is not a 'new' system, it is just a new way of
working with Fabric.

Thanks,

Paul

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!

 It would be interesting to know if those presets are first class
 citizens. Can the presets be loaded through the same panel as the 
 built-in
 nodes.
 I assume that you could just put them in the same folders, but a
 system for managing, separating and versioning them would be cool.

 Also +1 for color coding.

 This seriously looks great guys!

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

[Paul Doyle]

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 and
other Spliced DCCs. It's pretty cool :)

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 ;)

Paul is on the alpha, but waiting until we have the viewport for the
standalone (or the Softimage integration.

We have already implemented a bunch of deformers, including delta mush:
http://fabricengine.com/rigging-toolbox/ (although not yet in the DFG).
It's all KL...

Awesome stuff! I'm looking forward to see how the Canvas GUI will look like for 
Softimage, esp. considering that Softimage doesn't support Qt out of the box 
and that it will most likely not use the ICE Tree GUI either (correct me if I'm 
wrong pls).

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

[Raffaele Fragapane]

You can already do both those things with Fabric + SPLICE and you've been
able to for quite a while.
Canvas gives SPLICEed contents a visual interface, things that could be
done before can still be done.

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

This looks awesome,
What's the possibilities provided with extensions shipped with fabric 2.0 ?
Did this provide for example what we need to build a simulated particle
cloud, or nodes needed to work modeling like extrude/bevel ?

We've successfully hooked Fabric into a bunch of different applications
already - there are certain app-specific idiosyncrasies but it's been fine
so far. Most SDKs give us what we need. Canvas is just a different
interface for writing KL - the hooks are largely the same (actually simpler
than before due to some design changes).

Hi guys - I know you've been waiting for quite a while
for us to start showing you what we've been up to
since Siggraph. Finally we're there and can give you a
look :)

I'm really happy and proud to give you the first
proper look at Canvas, our visual programming system
for Fabric 2.0.

Quick highlight video: https://vimeo.com/121492305

Tons more information here:
http://fabricengine.com/canvas-videos/

This is the first part of the FE2.0 plan, and we'll be
showing this in more detail at GTC on March 18th -
please contact me if you want to meet up.

Looking forward to hearing what you have to say, and
hopefully getting you on the alpha/beta when we open
things up (there is a sign up form on the Canvas page).

Cheers,

Paul and the rest of the Fabric team

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

[Paul Doyle]

Thanks Perry - you're appreciation is appreciated :) I shall pass it on to
the team.

Your perception of what we're doing is spot on.

Cheers,

Paul

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

[Perry Harovas]

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
explore all the fantastic things Houdini and C4D have to offer (the two
apps I chose, for now), but
the ease of use (compared to Houdini) of ICE is something that I really
long for.

Canvas very may well be the answer to having a tool that can be carried
with me from app-to-app, where I wouldn't have to lose that ICE-like ability
when I have to switch to a different app. The main thing I think you guys
got right was making your tools host program agnostic. So, while that may
not be exactly what happens, under the hood,
it IS the impression I get. It feels like that is basically the goal. If I
am correct about that, well, more power to you guys.

The more open and flexible this stuff can be, the easier our work will be
and the happier *we *will be, even if it means using a software app we
don't care for.
The one constant will be Canvas, and that could help solve a lot of
app-anxiety (or in my case, app-anger).

So, again, thank you all so much.

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 :)

Isn't the theory, that third parties could develop modules for fabric, like
Lagoa multiphisics ?, or the mootzoid suites ? i'm assuming it would if not
now eventually become theoretically possible for someone to create a flip
solver for fabric?

(I'm sure that: - One does not simply "A Flip Solver")

Bifrost (at this point) reminds me of a famous Racing horse called Shergar,
it too had a great pedigree, then the IRA nicked it, and turned it into

Re: Introducing Canvas - visual programming for Fabric Engine 2.0

[Sebastien Sterling]

I still think color coding the nodes was a good idea, in ice anyway. maybe
color coding the headers, or having a toggle in the menu bar that allows
you to toggle on/off all node colors per type, would be useful for teaching.

Cause i do get that color coding sometimes makes a graph look like pick and
mix.

But it's also handy opening it up and seeing in the graph instantly where
the math nodes are, where the input gemometry/curves/ptCloud where the sim
nodes are etc...

e.g if somebody hands me a scene with an ice tree in soft, it could be a
very messy ice tree, but at least i know that blue nodes usually have to do
with importing stuff from outside data/geo/pointcloud..., that light green
nodes are math nodes, multiply/divide/If...

I don't even have to read the nodes, just by looking at the color i can get
a rudimentary idea of  what is going on. what is coming in how it is being
modified and where it is coming out.

So yes, a toggle for node type colors would be Fabulous !

The whole UI is customizable so we just went for something neutral based on
our branding colours :) A few Softimage folks in Germany did the design
work for us. We're still iterating on the overall theme.

It's come a long way since our first prototype: https://vimeo.com/103517340

[Paul Doyle]

Thanks for the kind words - this was what we originally intended to build
before we went off on a bit of a tangent :) I think code first has proved
to be the right path, but man it's taken a long time to get to the visual
programming!

Well you can sign up for the alpha here:
http://fabricengine.com/canvas-testing-program/

We're not opening it up yet, but get on the list and when we do the SI drop
I'll post a reminder here :)

We're DCC-agnostic - Maya was inevitably a first-class citizen for us, but
our portability story is dependent on supporting lots of hosts. Watch this
space ;)

Paul, much respect for supporting such a wide range of DCCs including the

Hi guys - I know you've been waiting for quite a while for us to start 
showing you what we've been up to since Siggraph. Finally we're there 
and can give you a look :)


I'm really happy and proud to give you the first proper look at 
Canvas, our visual programming system for Fabric 2.0.


Quick highlight video: https://vimeo.com/121492305

Tons more information here: http://fabricengine.com/canvas-videos/

This is the first part of the FE2.0 plan, and we'll be showing this in 
more detail at GTC on March 18th - please contact me if you want to 
meet up.


Looking forward to hearing what you have to say, and hopefully getting 
you on the alpha/beta when we open things up (there is a sign up form 
on the Canvas page).


Cheers,

Paul and the rest of the Fabric team

It's coming for Softimage, Max, Houdini and other DCCs as well. This alpha
has our standalone client and Maya support: all of our customers are on
Maya, so it made sense to do that first.

Fantastic! =) can't wait for it to get out of Alpha...and then
 Beta...looks like it is going to be a bit of a wait for that. :( But a
platform independent ICE on Steroids =) sooo nice. Hope we won't have
to wait too long.

I find my emotions swinging back and forth like Fry's face about "death by
snu snu"

Thanks for the update Paul =)
