Hi,
The good news:
We have released the source code of some of our plug-ins for 3dsmax 3.1.
The sources available are:
* Scene exporter plug-in. Export NeL binary meshes, animations, skeleton =
etc..
* Patch converter plug-in. Convert a 3dsmax PatchMesh in a NeLPatchMesh.
* TileUtility plug-in. Use tile banks in 3dsmax.
You can find thoses plugins in the CVS tree in nel/tools/3d/plugins_max
The bad news:
1) One of our plugin, the landscape painter, is not in this package =
because it is based=20
on Discreet EditPatch source code, and we can't distribute this modified =
source code.
2) Given that Max plug-ins are linked to the 3DSMax SDK (which is not =
Gnu GPL)=20
and to NeL (which is Gnu GPL), anyone distributing plug-ins in binary =
form will be in=20
breach of the Gnu GPL.
In English than means that you shouldn't distribute the plug-ins as =
binaries.
You are, of course, free to distribute the source code.
