This is just me thinking out loud.
Suppose Luxology quickly gets the SDK out there, and if the API is open enough, then other programmers can write up plugins to
-
Fix something that might already be broken (various threads already started)
-
Add a missing feature (scope out the feature request thread)
And if the individual plugin developer is so inclined and willing, perhaps the code in the plugin could be back ported into Modo core at a later date.
Another train of thought, more directly to Lux personnel:
This was inspired by the thread about the mirror tool crashing Modo. With the current scripting capabilities of Modo, is it possible to write a script to perform the same function rather than rely on the built in function? If it has already been done, then well problem solved. But what I’m thinking of is: how well does Modo handle errors in a script? For instance, if something went wrong during the execution of a macro/script, does Modo catch the error and put the fire out? Or can a macro/script bring down the whole application?
Again, all this is just me thinking out loud.
