One final update

[Andrea Interguglielmi]

Hello,

It's been quite a while since there has been any update to the project, this is due to a couple of reasons, my sabbatical was coming to an end, and with the project still not shaping up as a profitable business it was time for me to get back to a full time payed position, so here I am in Dreamworks Animation since about three months.

The project is therefore paused, waiting for either me to start working on it again, maybe one day, or for someone in the community to pick it up in his hands and start driving it forward again.

Shouldn't either of those things happen, the code will still be there, and it will still retain value as a resource for people researching in similar areas.

I really enjoyed working on Coral, I learned a lot, and I still think there's a lot of potential for such kind of generalized procedural tools to form the backbone of small and large studios.
I hope in the future we'll see a similar open standard adopted by many of those companies out there currently doing the same things behind closed doors.

Thanks,
Andrea

Hi, Andrea,

Thank you for your great work and great product.
I think Coral is very powerful, clean, high potential tool.

I read Coral code and I learned many thing from there. That's great.
really great.

I hope you'll do great work at DreamWorks!!

Hi all!

Thank you Andrea for your big work, Coral is a very powerful system. It's a shame this business didn't start... :(

I've also learn a lot coding in coral! You can't imagine how this was interesting for me. It was a very cool time to increase my OpenGL skills with you.

Have a good day in Dreamwork. Maybe you will use coral there and continue to develop it!

Thanks again,

Dorian

I haven't been able to dig into Coral completely but have keenly followed its development up until now. Thank you for keeping it available to public and hopefully someday you will find the time and resources to get back to it. I too hope to learn something from your project and if possible contribute to it.

Thanks for all your hard work and knowledge sharing. All the best at DreamWorks!

Of course it's not profitible, it's free and open source! You can do a kickstarter project if you want to get money to continue developing. Comparing to this you have all the chances to make it

Hey Andrea,

thanks for creating coral, it's really cool and I've learned a lot
from it and I hope to continue using it as a base for some experiments
at work. Thanks again.

All the best,
Svenni

You guys are sying that like the project is dead now. Hell to the no!

[Dorian FEVRIER]

Hi Constantine,

As the main maintainer can not work anymore on it, the project will stay in "pause".

Third party nodes can still be coded but if a bug is discovered in coral core, the debug will depend of the availability of the maintainers.

I also suppose if you find and solve a bug in a good way in coral, Andrea could, when he will have time, see your commit proposition and accept it (or not).

If the "community" is enough important to continue coral dev, this is something that could be done.

I think the first step is to add well thinked third party nodes on coral. This way coral could increase it possibilities and devs could start to understand how coral work.

If enough dev are working on it, coral will continue to grow. :)

Hi guys, I appreciate your ongoing interest in the project, it surely won't die in the near future, but it will soon become obsolete if nobody picks it up.

I will soon post some sort of hypothetical road-map for anybody who might want to contribute.
