yep - I am considering to do a workshop on the saturday,
24th of november. I'll try to get some of the hamburg based
devs and TDs in, if that would work for you guys.
I will send an official email next week.

Andy, Dan, Sebastian,
Creation Platform is targeted at the TD level user, however you don't
have to be a full time TD do be able to use it. I'll be showing the
new Softimage integration next week in London, and will hopefully
also put these videos online. With this new integration you can build
an application purely in python, while we provide all of the major
building blocks of course (such as camera, viewport, geomety etc) and
on top of it you can inject your custom behaviour. May it be a custom
painting tool, a custom deformer, a custom rig etc. Now using the
integration you can then load this pyhton application into Softimage
and start using it within Soft. you can use ICE to push data in and
out, and you'll be able to use your custom interactive tools directly
in the Softimage viewport.
I am pushing forward to provide more workshops and training. Phil
just did a workshop on Montreal this week, I'll be hosting one in
London next week, but I am also planning to do online workshops as
well as more workshops in Europe.
Creation Platform is ready to be used in production, but more
importantly I am absolutely willing to help turn around current
projects to push Creation Platform out there. So if you are
considering to use it for a certain project, ring me up. I'll be able
to help you jump through the first hoops. You be jumping higher
yourself before you know it.
I hope this helps. And oh Sebastian it is about time we start a local
workshop in Hamburg. :)

I am seeing myself in that same league, more as a technical driven
3d artist.
so far i couldn't dive into the creation platform that much, but i
talk a lot to helge, and he is giving me confidence that this is an
useful thing for people like me (us).
for now I just have my "custom operator" thinking, keeping all in
soft image and process all math via creation platform.
like having a custom ice node, besides i won't need to code that in
c++ (and there is the catch, cause I can't code in C#). but i guess
that won't stop there. (exciting!)
all these modules the guys from fabric come up with, build up a
pretty toolbox so far.
for now i do not have an urgent need for a tool (maybe i have, the
moment I really understand what all this is about), but i hope i can
finally find some time to check that stuff out.
helge will explain that better than I could.

This pretty much sums me up also, and I've found myself asking the
very same questions!
I've also been keenly following the development of FE but I'm not
sure I have the chops to put it to proper use...
Really looking forward to your response!

Helge, I find the creation platform both really exciting, and
from what I've seen as it grows its learning curve intimidating.
I'm an artist-turned-TD and a script monkey largely educated by
watching your jscript videos and lectures at Barnyard, and
later taking Raffaele's workshop... plus self training,
bothering folks like you, Graham and Brad, and a (nasty) year
spent in Mel.
In other words, I'm (I think) a pretty typical non-developer
technical artist.
Is the Creation Platform something for folks like me, who
spends about 40% of my time scripting and the rest in creating
assets and reasonably complex stuff in ICE? Or is it targeted
squarely at TDs who spend the bulk of their time scripting, ie
more for those at the developer end of the scale?
Not that I'm not willing to always be stretching my
capabilities to grow as a TD and artist. I'm just trying to
figure out who you see as the typical Fabric Creation Platform
user.
Kudos to the regular outreach and amazingly fast and
production-targeted development of Fabric, it's been really
awesome to watch it come to life.

Hey Helge,
This might be of enough general interest to post

How are you guys faring on the linux front these days?

Thanks guys!
Now, I've stated that on the Creation Platform
mailing list already:
I am aware that people are impressed by the
videos we publish and interested in Creation
Platform generally. We are doing workshops and
user group both in Montreal and London
this month, but aside from that I would like to
encourage people to start evaluating
Creation Platform for production scenarios. I
realize that there's a learning curve attached to
that, so I am willing to provide as much help as
necessary and lead the way for anybody
interested in seriously evaluating CP. At this
stage I am looking for production references
for certain features, so please mail me
privately if you are interested in collaborating.
Best!

Hi guys – this is a preview of the work that
Helge is doing on the Creation Platform API:
https://vimeo.com/groups/fabric/videos/53026583
The new API provides full access to all CP
features in C++. This includes high
performance data access (void * access to
internal data) as well as SceneGraph level
features such as Undo, Manipulation, Import /
Export etc.
We’ll be presenting this in more detail at the
Softimage London usergroup on Tuesday 13^th
November
(http://www.softimagecreatives.com/siclondon/?page_id=1218).
We’ll be showing this running in Maya (as well
as demoing on Softimage again) at our London
usergroup on Wednesday 14^th November
(http://fabricengine.com/2012/10/creation-workshops-montreal-london/).
Let us know what you think. Looking forward to
seeing some of you next week :)
