| MAYA-32863 | The footPrintNode devkit example is now
made simpler and demonstrates how to use MUIDrawManager to draw a
simple locator in Viewport 2.0. The original sample is now renamed to rawfootPrintNode which demonstrates how to draw the locator with raw OpenGL/DX calls. Plug-in code using MUIDrawManager can be written once and used on all platforms and all draw API’s. |
