[Nel] Maya plugin issues

Hi,
+
+I've been looking into writing a Maya plugin.
+What I understand so far is the following,
+please correct me if I'm wrong.
+
+-There are no specific fileformats for NeL,
+only different serialized objects like
+CZone, CShape(Stream), CMesh and others.
+
+-We would probably use the Maya API and
+write a C++ plugin for Maya instead of
+a MEL script.
+
+-I will have to convert the NURBS based
+Maya curves into 3DSMax based Bezier
+Pathces.
+
+This is really exciting. Now we can
+really integrate functions in Maya
+for bump-mapping and things like that.
+And this will be a plugin that creates
+ready to use NeL objects instead of
+some kind of an endless conversion
+madness :)
+
+If anybody has some code already written
+for either the Maya or NeL part of such
+a plugin, please let me know.  Our plugin
+will will be released under the GPL.
+
+Warm regards,
+Róbert
