ShaderMap SDK


The ShaderMap SDK provides a flexible and powerful interface for creating add-ons. There are 3 C/C++ files for building plugins. Create maps, geometry importers, and filters. Simply create an x86 / x64 DLL project with Visual Studio and include one of the core C/C++ files to build a plugin type.
