IMHO Fabric targeted a ideological market that doesn't exist. The people
who loved ICE but needed to work in maya.
People like me.
Well I think most of "us" tried but gave up because it still lived in maya.
You had to learn maya and fabric, and when something didn't work, you
didn't know if it was maya, fabric, or you.
Fabric was like covering a turd in chocolate.
If you are careful, you only taste chocolate, but softimage was
forgiving and turned us all into reckless 3d maniacs.
There was no avoiding the turd!
After about 3 months of this you realize that learning houdini just
makes more sense.
I'm sad to see another great piece of software go, but like Jonathan
said: These folks should find their place in the sun soon!

MPC and PSYOP output some great work with Fabric Engine but in the end
I always felt it was too narrowly aimed at senior TD's with plenty of
programming experience. The success of ICE was fuelled by the
compounds that acted as a gateway drug to the inner workings. I
thought maybe that Kraken would develop into that gateway drug, but
after seeing experienced riggers feeling out of their comfort zone,
soon realised it wasn't to be.
When Eric Mootz joined the team I thought maybe that would bring about
tools for technically minded artists who weren't necessarily TD's.
Whatever the reasons I feel for the FE team after all their hard
efforts. But I feel as one door closes others will open for them, folk
with that much talent don't remain jobless for long.

It likely died for the reason you just stated - you 'eventually'
wanted to

They made the right move initially of targeting the space between
the other
DCCs, but I think staying there long term was a mistake.

This is devastating news!!! WTF!? I was betting on learning this and
eventually investing in it. I didn?t want to be locked into one
software the
more I got into proceduralism. Why!?
