We are running slightly behind the planned release date but are preparing to release sometime in the upcoming week. For now here is a new video demonstrating the power of composite nodes and templates in Zookeeper: http://www.cgtraining.com/Videos/ZKCompMM3/ZKCompMM3.html Thank you for your understanding and patience!

 | I can't load the video with either IE or chrome. It timed out after ~10m with IE. But maybe you're still uploading it and i'm just being impatient ;) edit: nevermind, my data speed has been capped to a whopping 5k/sec. That surely has something to do with it. |

5k/sec ought to be enough for everyone :) Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |

| This is really brilliant. I love the philosophy behind this - it's "just" an interface facade to Max itself, so if for whatever reason you don't have access to ZK or decide not to use it, you're not screwed, because all you were ever doing was manipulating standard Max functions. What hasn't been made clear is if it automatically reads plugins (say, a modifier plugin), or does that developer have to implement and interface.. |

| Hi duke,
It tried to automatically figure out all the parameters and how to display them. In most of the cases (for plugins with properly coded parameters) this works perfectly, in some cases it might display parameters without names or internal ones. These can be manually hidden or renamed using included tools if desired. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |

 | This looks more and more amazing! It also rises a couple of questions: How will that turn out?

| Hi Jonas, Glad you liked the video.
The material will all be there. ZK doesn't create anything special when its instantiating a template or having a composite node other than organize the components of that material and display them properly. When you create a new composite nodes from a template ZK just creates all of the nodes inside the template and wires them between each other so they work. This means even after you remove ZK and any of its data the Max scene will be undisturbed. Marsel Khadiyev (Software Developer, EPHERE Inc.) |
