ImportantWe encourage you to use Maya’s
API directly. Several new functions have been added to API since
the MDT layer was created for Maya 1.0 which means the need to use
the MDT layer has reduced. The source code has also been moved to:
devkit/obsolete/games.
The MDt
API is an implementation of the GAME EXPORT toolkit for Maya. It
is a wrapper layer around the Maya API. Its main purposes are:
To enable reuse of common code in multiple translators.
Ease conversion of PA game translators over to Maya.
Provide a level of grouping information obtained from the
Maya API.
Provide an additional source of Maya API examples.
NoteThe MDt Api DOES NOT replace the Maya API. MDt
Api functions work by using the Maya API.
