Can we do this yet... (lazy question)

[MiniFireDragon]

Do we have the ability through the SDK to create and edit objects in Layout are is that still yet to come?? I am looking over the SDK right now, but I figured I could get a quicker answer here.

[Dodgy]

Yes.

You meant making object dynamically in fly from absolute nothing?

[Dodgy]

You basically add a Null to the scene in a generic plugin and call a modeler plugin on it.

[MiniFireDragon]

Sensei - Yes.

Dodgy - I was looking more for direct manipulation of an objects geometry in the form of adding faces and vertexes.

For now I am just learning how do that in modeler before I attempt it in layout.

So far the only plugin I ever wrote was one that applies a constant speed to an object in layout. Now that I figured out X-Panels, I am gonna apply an interface to it and offer it up on the boards maybe.

[Dodgy]

The generic plugin is just there to add an object which you can then add polys etc to, which you can only do in a modeler plugin, hence the separation. If you want to you can call the modeler plugin on an already existing object, to modify that.

You can create anything dynamic using volumetrics.. Like hairs, water, snow, instances of other objects.. etc. etc. unlimited usage.. But it's hard to write - they are ray-tracers..
