Importer Class Reference
This reference page is linked to from the following overview topics: Writing Plug-ins, Mesh Importer and Exporter Plug-ins.
Detailed Description
This class is the base class for plugins that import geometry into Mudbox.
To create a new importer plugin, derive your own class from this one and implement it. Use the DECLARE_CLASS and IMPLEMENT_CLASS macros to provide information about your importer to Mudbox. Once this is done, Mudbox will know enough about your class to use it. When the user wants to import a new file, mudbox will show the user a list of files filtered by the extension specified by your derived class, and if the user chooses one of those files, mudbox will instantiate your class and use it to import the file. When instantiated, the Importer will create it's own private scene. Override the Import() method to attach translated data items to the Importer's scene. Once the Import() call is complete, Mudbox will merge data from the importer's scene into the current scene. At this time, meshes, materials and cameras are supported for import.
