Development
To make a plug-in for Windows Maya, you need VC++. You
cannot use compilers
such as Cygwin gcc or Borland c++.
You have to have devkit(developer's kit) installed on your machine.
You can install it with Maya itself, but by default it is not installed.
If it's not, you may be able to install it additionally(??).
If you are going to install both Maya and VC++, you should install
VC++ first,
then you will be able to use Maya's AppWizard (Maya Plug-in Wizard)
in VC++.
I used AppWizard later in this document.
Where to start
A Maya plug-in is a dll. Setting up VC++ project is rather complicated,
so
it'll be a good idea to use either of the following options,
- Use Maya's AppWizard (Maya Plug-in Wizard)
- Use an existing project as a template (For example, OpenMaya samples)
