Getting Started With the Kraken Rigging Framework

With the latest release for Fabric Engine 2.0, Fabric Engine has also released its Kraken Rigging Framework. Kraken was developed to offer flexible and customizable rigging framework that can easily be extended.

Kraken deploys across 3D applications and because of its use of Fabric Engine Splice, maintains functionality no matter what DCC is used to build a rig.

The Kraken Rigging Framework takes advantage of and leverages the Fabric Engine Splice API, allowing you to deploy Rigs across a variety of 3D applications. The cool thing is that the Fabric Engine splice API will keep the rigging functionality no matter where it is or what DCC app it is using.

That is one of the many benefits to using Fabric Engine and the Kraken Rigging Framework. You can author once, and deploy across any pipeline topology — a tool created with Fabric will produce exactly the same result everywhere, dramatically reducing the cost and complexity of custom development.

Here Eric Thivierge shows how to get started with the Kraken Rigging Framework. This includes how to download it, and dive into the documentation. He also covers creating a simple Kraken.bat file and shows how to launch the Kraken Standalone.
